CSS - No Background-color Warning Removal...
I like my pages to validate XHTML and CSS completely without any warnings, let alone errors. Unfortunately though I have a background image on my page so therefore I can't give a background colour to a lot of elements. This leads to them getting an accessibility warning of no background-color with #whatever....is there any way around this? I tried setting it to transparent. Maybe it could inherit the body one but I don't think that's possible.
Similar TutorialsHey 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;

#Head {

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? 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. 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 Hi, I have made a page using <div> tags. <div id="page"> <div id="leftmenu"> </div> <div id="mainarea"> </div> </div> My problem is that sometimes, the leftmenu is longer than the main area(1) and sometimes its the opposite- the main area is longer than the leftmenu(2). 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; } 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 have three "buttons" that are essentially <div> elements on a page made to look like a button. I would like to make the background color change for the button on the "hover" state, but for some reason the only part of the background that changes on the hover state is the area only behind the text. Here's my code. I'd like the whole background area to change, anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Code:
.prioritycontainer {
width: auto;
float: left;
display: inline;
margin: 0px 0px;
padding: 10px 0px;
}
.prioritybutton {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: auto;
display: inline;
margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px;
padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
background-color: #978047;
border: solid 1px #CCBC77;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.prioritybutton a:link {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}
.prioritybutton a:visited {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}
.prioritybutton a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #A19058;
text-decoration: none;
}
.prioritybutton a:active {
color: #fff;
background-color: #A19058;
text-decoration: none;
}
Markup on .html page is as follows: Code: <div class="prioritycontainer"> <div class="prioritybutton"><a href="one.htm">One</a></div> <div class="prioritybutton"><a href="two.htm">Two</a></div> <div class="prioritybutton"><a href="three.htm">Three</a></div> </div> Any help would be very helpful. Thanks, Brian 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 I have a horizontal ul: Code: <ul> <li>blah</li> <li>loooooooooooooooooooooong blah blah blah</li> </ul> If I set the background color: Code:
li { background-color: yellow; }
It works fine, but If the long line gets wrapped, the height of the background of that li is higher, and it looks very funny. I want the background to be equally height, independent on the other li:s height. Is that possible? I don't want to have a fixed value for the height 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've been going over it with a fine-toothed comb, but can't find the problem. here's the site and here's the css; Code:

Any help is greatly appreciated! 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? 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? http://buffalonationsmuseum.ca Right now the property is just "background" but I have tried... background-color: I have the following code, in the sidebar DIV in Firefox the background does not show up, it does in IE7. What have I done wrong? CSS code: Code:

background: #fff;
width: 990px;
padding: 15px 20px 20px 20px;
}

<div id="content">
<div id="blog">
blah blah blah
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
<h2>blah</h2>
blah blah blah
</div>
</div>
I've been looking it at for a while, and while it's probably something minor I'm just simple over looking, I can't figure it out. Everything works, is in the correct place, except the grey background (#ccc) isn't showing up on the sidebar. Hi there, Is it possible to start a background-color a certain amount frm the top, like you can with background images? 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? Take a look at the main menu on this site: http://www.infund.net Why doesn't the grey stretch across the entire table? Here's the code I have: Code:
a.mainlevel:link, a.mainlevel:visited {
width: 100%;
background: url(../images/bluebug.png) no-repeat;
font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, serif;
font-size: 11px;
text-align: left;
padding-left: 30px;
background-color: #c2c2c2;
margin-bottom: 1px;
white-space: nowrap;
text-align:left;
}
a.mainlevel:hover, a.mainlevel:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
background: url(../images/redbug.png) no-repeat;
font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, serif;
vertical-align: middle;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #8B1414;
text-align: left;
padding-left: 30px;
background-color: #c2c2c2;
width: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
margin-bottom: 1px;
text-align:left;
}
I've been trying to figure out how I can use css to make one side of the body one color and the other side another color. For example: if I want the entire left 70% of the page to be white and the right 30% to be black. no margins. it needs to stretch the entire length of the page regardless if there's any content in a div or not. And it need to be fluid. I've been trying everything I know and apparently that's not very much because I can't figure it out. The link below is what I've tried using a bg image. Hopefull this will illustrate the idea. But I don't want to use a bg image if I don't have to plus the division where the color changes needs to be fluid with the text and I haven't figured out how to do it with the offset percentages. Basically the left side needs to be white as wide or wider as the left column and the right side color can go from that point all th eway right regardless of how wide the browser is. Does that make sense? I think I could do it if it were 50/50 but that's not what I'm after. http://sonicparke.com Has anybody done this or know how it should be done? I want to display text when I hover over certain areas of an image, so I am using an image map, no href, and assigning the text using ALT=. As a result, the text shows up as a tooltip. It works great except that the background color in the tooltip box is a very dated yellow color that looks inconsistent with the rest of my page. Is there any way to change the background color? (I am trying to avoid scripts because I've never used them and don't really have time to learn how, at this point) Thanks, Beth My problem is that I need to get the Body Background color that is in a css file using php to then introduce this color to an applet. My CSS file has: BODY { FONT-SIZE: 12px; COLOR: #6699ff; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #FFFFFF; SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #FFFFFFF; SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #CC6699; FONT-FAMILY: "Times", serif; } But I use different CSS so very time I change the file I need to know in the php page what BACKGROUND-COLOR it has. I am using a Wordpress template called Arthemia Premium. I want to change the background color in the headline section, but nothing "sticks" when I change the hex color codes in the style.css. Tell me what to post here and I will. Thanks BTW I have very basic knowledge of CSS 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. Hi, I have a simple table <table id="sometable"> <tr> <td> <a href="link1">link1</a> <td> <a href="link2">link2</a> </table> with a style sheet table#sometable {width: 100%;} table#sometable a:hover{background-color: #A9A9A9;} What I want is on a hover the whole cell changes color, not just the link. How can I do this? Also should I be using a table in the first place? Thanks Colin |
