CSS - Background Color Not Displaying?
What is wrong with this? I can't seem to see any of the background colors in Firefox or Camino? I have tried setting the background color in the body, and by enlosing the rest of the elements within a containing "main" div... but neither seem to work. Any ideas?

It looks fine in Firebird and even on IE 5 for Mac. I have a feeling that this has something to do with the fact that I've not done very precise sizing of various divs and haven't really implremented the IE box-model hack for much of the site. Let me know if you can help. Also, when I force IE to redraw, by moving the page off the screen and back on, or if I hover over the text in the div, it seems to try redrawing the off-white background, but never actually completes. Thanks, m__ Here's the code:
Code: <html> <head> <title>Sample Font Shorthand</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> body { margin: 0; behavior: url("../htcmime.php?file=csshover2.htc") } div { } table { width: 100% } .sttable { background-color: #000080 } tr { } td { vertical-align: top } .sttd { font: bold 12px Arial #FFFFFF } </style> </head> <body> <table class="sttable"> <tr> <td class="sttd">Catalog > Categories</td> <td class="sttd">Cart Total: $ 0.00</td> <td class="sttd">Date</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Would someone please tell me why the color of the text isn't rendering white? I've searched around the web for a solution to this problem and have found other with BG display problems, but none that were exactly the same. Others seems to have a persistant problem, while mine only occurs about 20% of the time a page is loaded. Basically I have a div within a div. The inner div has variable content ranging from images, text, and tables, some of which are floated. The outer div has a superfish style menu in it. The height of the inner div is set to 100% to expand with the content within, and the outer div height is set to 100% to expand along with the inner div. Basically, two kinds of errors appear at random with IE. 1) a thin line of the outer div background color is missing at the bottom of the div just about corners rounded with RUZEE.ShadedBorder, or 2) a larger block of the background is missing just above the rounded corners. It only happens sporatically in IE, and usually pressing Reload fixes the problem. These divs are also enclosed within another container div, but its the smaller inner container div that is having the problem. It happens on all of the pages in my site about 20% of the time they are loaded up. Does anyone know why I'm having this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated! Here are two images of what I'm talking about followed by my CSS for those two divs. http:// i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i428/kan3xiao/Clipboard01.jpg http:// i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i428/kan3xiao/Clipboard02.jpg (remove the extra spaces after http://) #outerDiv { background-color: #BBDB56; height: 100%; padding: 1px 20px 23px 5px; width: 860px; margin: 15px auto 0px auto; } #outerDiv, #outerDiv .sb-inner { background: #bbdb56; } #innerDiv { margin: 15px 0px 0px 160px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #fff; height: 100%; } I'm fairly new at CSS, but I am stumped with an issue I am having getting my H1 and H2 tags to show a color. Now the problem. I have styled the Header tags in my CSS for a <div> tag that will contain the text on my page. They are to have the color of my navigation bar on the left of the page (value #cc0000). The nav bar is styled with a CSS created by a spry in Dreamweaver CS3. My text is styled by a separate CSS document (con-ed.css) which is found in a different directory. I created all of the style elements for my <h1> and <h2> tags and they look fine in Dreamweaver. But when I open the page in a Web browser such as Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer, all of the formatting of the tags displays EXCEPT the color value I mentioned above. I am guessing that I have a cascading issue going on, but I haven't been able to figure out where it would be. I am loading the con-ed.css stylesheet first, so its values should override any other sheets, plus there is no mention of <h1> or <h2> in the stylesheet for my navigation bar. Any help or suggestions you could give will be greatly appreciated! wncmacs Hi there people, I have a question about CSS but before I start off asking this question I'll introduce myself. I'm a new user of this great forum, my name is Dwight and I'm a student on the "Graphical Lyceum Amsterdam" where I follow the education for "Multimedia Designer". Ok so now you know me a little, I'll start off asking my question. Question: I have to change the layout for a html page that askes for information from different asp pages, but that's not my problem . The problem is that I have to make some td's a different color -the background that is- but the problem is that I can't change the html page itself (it is automaticly generated and I don't have permission to change it). So my question is can someone tell me how I can change the color of some (not all!) td's with CSS without making classes? Tnx, Dwight i wanted usersto choose their own style sheet by giving them different links like red, green, blue which will take them to different layouts or background color page. the problem was that worked only for that particular page but if they click on any link or menu from that page it will take them back to the default color. is there any way that i can set so that their choice will stay throught their surfing ? any thoughts ? hanks Hey Guys! I'm going absolutely bonkers trying to find out how to change the color of the background of a certain element on my site. I installed Vanilla forums on my site and am trying to customize the css script. If you look at the page, you will see an annoying white in the body. I am trying to make the background of that #F6F6F2. Could you guys possibly put me in the right direction? Thanks! Here is a link to my page: shipswatchdotcom/forum/vanilla/aaa.html Here is the css script: Code: #Body { margin: 0; width: 99.9%; position: relative; background: #F6F6F2; } #Head { background: #B8D4B8;

I want them both to be of the same height. (3) How can I do this? Plz Help! I have pasted the style codes for the 3 tags below. (1) (2) (3) #mainarea { background-color:#FFFFFF; float:left; position:relative; right:0pt; width:630px; } #leftmenu { background-color:#EEEEEE; float:left; left:0pt; position:relative; width:140px; } #page { background-color:#FFFFFF; position:relative; width:770px; } Having an issue with the background color in a div. The color shows up in I.E. but not in Firefox. I have a div with a width of 100%. Inside the div is an unordered list with two list items. Here is the css: div#nav { width: 100%; margin: 0; background-color: #EAE9E4; } #nav ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { list-style: none; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 15%; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap; } Essentially this will be a navigation aid below the banner of the webpage. The list items will contain anchors which will appear as "buttons". The containing div extends to the end and I want it to have a background color. Any help appreciated. Hi, I am trying to apply a background color to an item other than the body but I cannot make it display in IE 6 or 5.5. I have tried applying it to both <div>'s and <p>'s. Does IE not support the background-color property outside of the page background? Can this be done? My table is 4 columns with about 400 rows. I want to style the background color across each row but in fixed blocks/rows. i.e rows 1-55 red rows 55-60 green rows 61-100 red rows 121-158 green etc just using two colors. Any pointer in how it could be done? I've been trying various fixes with my template, so that the grey background color in the sidebar, extends beyond the content to the bottom of the page. Alas... nothing is working. Here's my code: Code: #l_sidebar { color: #cccccc; background-color: #3a3a3a; width: 160px; float: left; float: left; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0 15px 15px 15px; } #l_sidebar p{ margin: 0px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 5px 0px; } #l_sidebar h2 { color: #ffbfea; font-size: 18px; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-weight: bold; list-style: none; padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px; margin: 0px; } #l_sidebar ul { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px 0px; } #l_sidebar li { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } #l_sidebar ul li { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 5px 0px; } #l_sidebar ul li a { color: #c04080; text-decoration: none; } #l_sidebar ul li a:hover { color: #c04080; text-decoration: underline; } #r_sidebar { color: #c04080; background-color: #3a3a3a; width: 160px; float: right; position:relative; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0 15px 15px 15px; } #r_sidebar p{ margin: 0px; line-height: 16px; padding: 5px 0px 10px 0px; } #r_sidebar h2 { color: #ffbfea; font-size: 18px; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-weight: bold; list-style: none; padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px; margin: 0px; } #r_sidebar ul { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px 0px; } #r_sidebar li { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } #r_sidebar ul li { list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 5px 0px; } #r_sidebar ul li a { color: #c04080; text-decoration: none; } #r_sidebar ul li a:hover { color: #c04080; text-decoration: underline; } i have a problem dynamically setting the html background color when i initially set it with css. if i have a javascript function: function changeColor() { document.bgColor = '#FFFF00'; } and call it when i click a button the background color changes like you'd expect. but if i initialize the background color like this: body{background-color: #FF0000;} and then later call my javascript function to change the background color like before, it doesn't do anything. what's going on here? and how can i initialize the background color and still be able to dynamically change it? thanks My page works great in firefox, but in IE the top navigation div (top_navigation) SHOULD have a background color of red for testing perposes, but the color doesn't change! It looks like its inheriting the background color #e4dfd7 from the css body tag. I've tried using an inline style, or using !important, nothing works, and I have to make this available in at least IE6 and up. Thanks in advance for any help! html code -> cosmosristorante dot com / ox / index.asp OK - I know all about the media="print" attribute. But I don't know how to force a background color (styled in a div tag; ie "background-color: black;") to print when the webpage is printed. I would think this would be a fairly common requirement but have not stumbled upon it. Also, it probably doesn't matter but I have been using Javascript to add the divs to the page dynamically, so I don't know if that would have any effect. Probably not. Any help would be appreciated. Howdy, Okay, this is driving me nuts...i have the background-color set the same for the header and the footer, only the header is displaying darker than the footer.

I have this transparent png image and it looks great on a web page when you put a background color on it. the only transparent part is the border, the rest is white, so the bg color is really for border. When you go to print it, however, printers dont normally show bg colors Is there some way how I can force printing the the bg color when the user prints the page? (I know some times u can configure that on their printer but I don't want them to have to do anything. ) I'm using Wordpress 3.0.4 with the WP Remix theme 3.0 for my website. URL: joelwyant.com I want to be able to add a page to the site during the Christmas season. To make it standout more, I'd like that specific page to always have a different background color in the navbar than the other "normal" pages. I have the CSS for the navbar style, but I don't know where to begin to make it specific to just that one page. In other words, how do I create CSS that overides the normal navbar background color for just that one specific page? Any thoughts, suggestions, or guidance is much appreciated! Joel Hi, My code validates apart from some Mozilla specific stuff at the bottom.

I have a background image which uses rounded corners, but when I set the background-color, it overlaps the background image so you cannot see it anymore. What I want to do is to start the background color, say, 20px from the top. Is that possible? |
