CSS - Background Image Placement Problem In Firefox
Hey everyone,
I'm redesigning a site and I'm running into some problems in firefox with the placement of the header-background image. The problem is that firefox places the image about 15 pixels below the intended area. When I add a border of 1 pixel to the header div firefox places the image correctly. I don't have this problem when viewing the site in IE. I've coded the following XHTML and css: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>ParaCentrumEeldeHoogeveen</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="nl" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/layout.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="header"> </div> </div> </body> </html> And the css file: Code: html { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } body { background: #3a60db url('../gfx/background.jpg') repeat-x; font-family: arial, "lucida console", sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #000000; text-align: center; margin: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding: 0px; } #container { border: 0px solid #ff0000; width: 760px; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; text-align: left; } #header { background: url('../gfx/header.jpg') no-repeat; height: 238px; width: 760px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } Screenshot of the problem Does anybody know what the problem is? Thanks in advance. Grtz. Arjen Similar TutorialsHi, I'm trying to achieve the raised/gradiated background effect you'll see on the following URL (scroll halfway down the page) csszengarden Kyoto version (sorry, since I'm a new user I can't provide a direct URL) with an image gradient repeated on the y-axis. It is difficult to give an example of the image without being able to attach and image here. I've tried so many things I've forgotten my own name. Please let me know if there is any more information that I can provide. Thanks! I'm trying to get a repeating background image to show up in my Firefox browser but can't get it to work.

Hi there, First time posting here so dont bite my head off! First up allow me to say, that i've done a search for previous posts and although i found topics similiar to what im asking none of the answers within helped me. Second, i've run my CSS and XHTML through the validation service over at w3c. - XHTML transitional - is valid on all pages apart from the main page this is due to me running cutenews on that page and the markup isnt valid. - CSS is valid. Okay to business, im hoping someone out there can help me, i've recently just updated my website with a new layout. It works perfectly in IE-6 but not in firefox, or any other browser for that matter (i used browsercam). I have issues with the background images not displaying as they should do. And not only that, my flash animation at the top of the page isnt displaying in FF either! Heres a link to my website And heres a link to the CSS file someone help please! I am trying to set background of my divs with: background:#FFFFFF url(images/nheadlines_bg.gif) top no-repeat; It works fine with IE but at Firefox there is only a white background. You can check this out at: http://www.pearl.ru/isdunyasi Hi, has anyone ever had a problem with firefox only (not IE). that when you shift your background image, the divs on top shift with it? I dont want them to shift down but they do when I look at it in firefox its shifted, in IE its not. I am sorry this is my first posting. if anybody can help me, thanks alot. Here is my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <style type="text/css"> #outer { width: 820px; height:800px; margin: auto; background: url(images/background2.png); background-repeat: no repeat; background-position: center; } </style> <title>test</title> </head> <body> <div id="outer"> <div style="backgroundimage:url(images/header2.png); background-repeat: no repeat; background-position: center; width:819px; height:120px; margin-top:20px;"> </div> <div style="background-image:url(images/header2.png); background-repeat: no repeat; background-position: center; margin-top:20px; width:819px; height:120px; "> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> Hello, I recently started creating websites again and I have been pulling my hair out on this Firefox compatibility issue. The site navigation looks great in IE but in Firefox a couple of the background images are skewed down and to the left. Since all my tricks from years ago are so outdated now, I decided to try CSS for a simplified navigation setup. The code is probably pretty messy since I chopped it together from numerous sources and still am not completely sure how it works. Background: I created a large 794x1200 PNG image that contains two complete border and navigation sets. I am using CSS to both position the appropriate portion in each table/cell as well as switching to a slice on the 2nd image set for rollover purposes. An example of the current test is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *not sure if this is okay but would be best to see the example. If it is not allowed as a non-clickable then feel free to delete. It is here - classtime . org / test6 . htm and the navigation image is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *classtime . org / navigate . png I would be eternally grateful to anyone that can help me figure out why the site works great in IE but is coming up skewed in Firefox. As a side note, when I pull up the site in Frontpage, it shows the left-most cell as being larger than it is supposed to be even though it is hardcoded. To get my left image bar to show up in the correct place I had to use a value of "left: -40px;" I'm not sure why that is but I suspect it has something to do with the problem. Thank you very much for taking a look. My jumbled code is as follows: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> <title>Ultrasonic Blind Company - Elk Grove Village, Illinois</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> a:link {color: #FFF4D1;} a:visited {color: #FFF4D1;} a:hover {color: #74060c;} a:active {color: #FFF4D1;} .top a { display: block; width: 794px; height: 120px; background-image: url('navigate.png'); } .top a:hover { background-position: 0px -601px; } #left { left: -40px; width: 150px; height: 460px; display: block; background: url('navigate.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 0px -120px; position: relative; } #left li {margin: 0px; padding: 0px; list-style: none; position: absolute; text-align: center; font: bold 18px Batang; line-height: 50px; } #left li, #left a {height: 50px; width: 146px; display: block;} #panel1b {top: 10px;} #panel2b {top: 63px;} #panel3b {top: 116px;} #panel4b {top: 169px;} #panel5b {top: 223px;} #panel1b a:hover {background: transparent url('navigate.png') 0px -730px no-repeat} #panel2b a:hover {background: transparent url('navigate.png') 0px -785px no-repeat} #panel3b a:hover {background: transparent url('navigate.png') 0px -839px no-repeat} #panel4b a:hover {background: transparent url('navigate.png') 0px -890px no-repeat} #panel5b a:hover {background: transparent url('navigate.png') 0px -945px no-repeat} #right { width: 154px; height: 460px; display: block; background: url('navigate.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: -640px -120px; position: relative; } #right li {margin: 0px; padding: 0px; list-style: none; position: absolute; text-align: right; font: bold 18px Batang; } #right li, #right a {height: 85px; width: 154px; display: block;} #panel1r {top: 0px;} #panel2r {top: 100px;} #panel3r {top: 200px;} #panel4r {top: 300px;} #panel1r a:hover {background: transparent url('navigate.png') -640px -721px no-repeat} #panel2r a:hover {background: transparent url('navigate.png') -640px -821px no-repeat} #panel3r a:hover {background: transparent url('navigate.png') -640px -921px no-repeat} #panel4r a:hover {background: transparent url('navigate.png') -640px -1021px no-repeat} </style> </head> <body bgcolor=#74060c> <div align=center> <table id="Table_01" width=794px height=600px border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tr> <td colspan="3" height="120" width="794" bgcolor="#FFF4D1"> <div class="top"> <a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align=left valign=top height=674px width=150px bgcolor="#FFF4D1"> <ul id="left"> <li id="panel1b"><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" style="text-decoration: none">Contact</a></li> <li id="panel2b"><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" style="text-decoration: none">Residential</a></li> <li id="panel3b"><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" style="text-decoration: none">Commercial</a></li> <li id="panel4b"><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" style="text-decoration: none">Coupons</a></li> <li id="panel5b"><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" style="text-decoration: none">Questions</a></li> </ul> </td> <td align=left valign=top width=490px height=674px bgcolor="#FFF4D1"> aaa</td> <td align=left valign=top width=154px height=674px bgcolor="#FFF4D1"> <p align=right> <ul id="right"> <li id="panel1r"><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" style="text-decoration: none"></a></li> <li id="panel2r"><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" style="text-decoration: none"></a></li> <li id="panel3r"><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" style="text-decoration: none"></a></li> <li id="panel4r"><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" style="text-decoration: none"></a></li> </ul> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html> My logo is defined as a background image in my .css. It appears in IE when I print/print preview, but in FF it does not. This is the .css code for the logo div: #logo { float: left; margin-left:1px; width: 200px; background:url(../images/mm-logo.jpg) no-repeat; height:50px;} Any ideas or suggestions? hi, i'm trying to add an outer glow image to my site, starting about a 100px from the top. when i use padding on the element i'm adding the trim to, the entire site including the banner shifts down. so i tried using background position, which works until i add repeat-y, which causes it to repeat in the 100px where i don't want it. is there a way to make an image only repeat down? I have two bits of code that work in IE, but not in Firefox, and I have no idea why! They both use the background-image property Here is the first: Code: a.bio { display: block; width: 150px; height: 26px; background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\btn_bio.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; } a.bio:hover { background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\btn_bio_h.jpg); } Code: <a class="bio" href=""></a> And the second: Code: td.window { width:670; height:31px; background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\window_nav_repeat.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; padding:0px; margin:0px; border-spacing:0px; border:0px; } Code: <td class="window"></td> Does ANYONE know why this is happening?? Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me get this background image to show up in firefox. It shows up in IE. It's the first #header image. I included the other code in case something is conflicting. *edit... nvm. hello all, I am not very well experienced with CSS, so, please, bear with me. this question may sound stupid. I have a web page that is comprised of one main table. Except for the banner on top (1 column), the main row has two columns. These columns will comprise of: 1) left column: Menu 2) right column: page content. In the left column, the menu, I would like to have a background image sitting behind the menu. I have attempted to use CSS to put an image behind the menu: Code: .menu_back {background: url('Pics/Web/menu_background.jpg') no-repeat #ffffff;} And my html looks like this: Code: <table width = "100%" class = "menu_back"> This does not work. After scouring the web without any real success , I humbly ask for ur help. I am designing for Firefox hoping it will work fine under IE. Thanking u in advance. hello. this has us stumped. here is the page: http://www.praxishosting.com/dev/csstest/testindex.htm it looks fine in IE, but in firefox, the div tag containing the background image does not appear to be expanding as the content grows. thus in firefox, you cannot see the background image in the bottom left hand cell (the only place it shows through). any suggestions? the style code for the background container is rather simple: Code: #container { width: 750px; background: url(../media/bkgrd.gif) repeat fixed center top; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; height: 100%; } I have a problem that I have never seen before. I am using css to set the background properties of the body tag. Works just fine in IE but no background at all shows up in Firefox. css code for the body tag is: body { background-color: #0d005e; background-image: url('images/bgmain.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-x; } Any thoughts? I have just started writing a page and the first thing I did was establish a body background color and image. It works in IE but not FF. Can someone please give me a clue what is wrong. I have searched all the CSS books and the internet but I cannot find an answer. Thanks in advance. The URL is http://www.childrens-stories.me.uk/ Okay the backgroundimage "content-header" does not display in firefox for the <div id="contentWrapper"> tag. In internet explorer it displays. Not sure what the hell is going on with it. I hate css http://www.mgan.net/work/10-06-04/layout1.html There is the link, I have my styles in the header section of the html file. I'm trying to go through examples out there and get a handle on stretching background images with an opacity text box overlaying the image. I have it working in IE7, IE6, and Firefox 2.0.0.16 with one weird little thing. In Firefox only, if I have the page designated as the home page or I hit refresh, the background image doesn't appear - just a completely white page. If I have it as a link or highlight the url itself and hit enter, the background appears. Any ideas?

It's ok in Safari, but the tiling image seems to stop before the bottom of the page. It should be held by the #container div, but the developer toolbar shows this ending way before the end of the page - even though I have contained content still appearing down to the page edge. The site is at bringmyshuttle.com As far as I can see my code makes sense... Any ideas? Thanks Hi, I want to put a background image for a div section of my site. It works fine in i.e. but i can't get it to show up in firefox. Does anyone know why?

I made it work and look very good in chrome but it only takes up half the page in firefox. I was wondering if anyone have any ideas how to fix this. Thanks for your advice in advance. I have used html{ background-color:#000000; background-image:url(images/background.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-size:1300px; height:1000px; background-attachment:fixed; } and html{ background-color:#000000; background-image:url(images/background.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-size:100%; background-attachment:fixed; } Hi all, I use an background image for a menu. Code: #menu a, #menu a:hover { height: 20px; width: 150px; text-decoration: none; padding-left: 40px; padding-top: 3px; padding-right: 3px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 10px; background-position: 0px; vertical-align: middle; } #menu a { color: #9E007F; background-image: url(../imgs/nav/subNav/subNav_bg.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } #menu a:hover { color: #FFF; background-image: url(../imgs/nav/subNav/subNav_bg_over.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } It works fine in IE but not in firefox. Somehow the background image is not completely shown. It stops after the last letter. Any suggestions?? Grtz, |
