CSS - Body Doesn't Work In My External Style Sheet
Hi.
In my external style sheet i have this: Code:
body
{
margin-left: 100;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
I am completely new at CSS and am only doing it because supposedly my tables are out of fashon! Thanks Matt Similar TutorialsI hardly ever use css for thimgs like backgrounds, but I have a freelance client that has alot of interesting ideas about how a good website should look so I'm trying to make him happy. When I have: body { background: url('resources/assets/background.jpg') no-repeat bottom left; } in the extranal css it doesn't work. If I put it into the page it works fine. None of the online css resources I've looked at mention why this should be. I've even tried using the complete http://www.server.com/blah/blah/ address and I get the same results. Does this just not work from an external css, or am I missing something? Thanks y'all. Hello I'm having trouble with displaying a background image in a div. It worked fine with embedded CSS but when I changed the CSS to external, the text loads but the bg image doesnt. I'll post some code to explain it... This is in the external style sheet: #navbgtop { position:absolute; left:38px; top:185px; width:194px; height:18px; z-index:2; background-image: url(images/navbartop.jpg); } and yes of course I have made the proper link to it in the <head> tag: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/nav.css" media="all" /> For some reason the background image wont display. Any ideas? One more question also, does it matter if I use media="all" for the whole website? Or do I even need to bother using media=xyz ? I heard most browsers don't even read that as of yet. Ok, I just started a new website. I have been putting all of the html on every page. So, when I change one small thing on my Nav Bar, I have to go to every single page and change it! There has to be an easier way, right? Isn't it by using external sytle sheets? I tried this code in my homepage, but it isn't working: Code: <head> <STYLE TYPE="text/css" MEDIA="screen, projection"> <!-- @import url(http://www.freewebs.com/ohhdanggggraphics/BASIC.css); --> </STYLE> </head> Basically on my site the only thing I want to change from page to page is the information in the center table. How would I do this? Thanks for your help My Website Hi All, How can i apply style to following table? Class attribute is not working. following is the code. function links(){ var xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.xmlDOM") xmlDoc.async="false"; xmlDoc.load("ticker.xml") ; xmlObj=xmlDoc.documentElement; nodes=xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes; document.write("<table border=1 align=left >"); for( var count = 0; count<nodes.length; count++){ document.write("<tr>"); document.write("<td>"); document.write("<a href='" + (xmlObj.childNodes(count).getAttribute('URL')) + "'>" + (nodes.item(count).text) + "</a><br>"); document.write("</td>"); document.write("</tr>"); } document.write("</table>"); } Please guide me for the same. Thanks in advance I need to modify an external style sheet so that background images on each page can be changed. Please help I've been involved in building an intranet site with about 1200 pages. Now that it's been launched we've found problems in printing many of the pages - there are blank pages printing before the content, probably because of floated divs being pushed down when the width is restricted to A4. (That's a guess). Now I know that what we should have done was create a print style sheet which would have solved this problem easily, but if we do that we'll have to place the link to it in every page, which involves quite a lot of signing-out of 1200 pages etc. I'm prepared to do that if there isn't another way but I wondered if there's any way the existing external style sheet can be amended so it loads (imports) the print styles dependent on some statement or other. I'm doubtful, but if anyone knows of a method that involves editing the one stylesheet rather than the 1200 pages I'd love to hear it! Hey, I'm a CSS noob, and I'm having some trouble with centering the content of my page. When I have the coding as an internal style sheet the page is centered, but when I put it in an external style sheet it looks the exact same...except for that it's left aligned. All I do is copy and paste it, but it change the layout around? Any tips? Hello all, I use an @import to import an external css file into the head of my html page. For some reason it does not work in foxfire though. My pages have no CSS, which most of my site is based completely off CSS. it's quite a mess. Here is how I import them: <!-- Main General Style Sheets --> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> @import url(customizations/site/templates/general.css);</style> <!-- Custom Style Sheets --> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> @import url(style.php);</style> Is there something special for foxfire or what could be the issue? Thanks for any help. Hi, I have a strange problem where an inline style works, but if I put it in a new style class, it won't! Here is the CSS for a menu list: Code: #menu li{
vertical-align:middle;
height:2em;
padding-left:7px;
padding-top:6px;
float:left;
margin-left:25px;
background-color:#8D8387;
display:block;
}
And then I want to apply this to the first list item: Code: .noMargin{
margin-left:0;
}
When I apply that class to the list item, nothing happens. However, when I use the inline style: style="margin-left:0;", it does work. What's going on? Thanks Hi. I want to set my page's background colour through an external stylesheet. I have this: Code:
body {
background-color: #CAB284;
text-align: center;
}
But it doesn't affect my page. I'm using it in firefox. Every thing else in the stylesheet works correctly except this. When I enter this stuff in the actual body tag of the page using style="" it works though. I don't want to do it that way as it takes longer to change everything when I find a better background colour. Can anyone help? Thanks, Matthew I am using a single gif file as an image sprite and want to link the file name in another style sheet so i can reuse this sheet without having to have many copys of the style sheet with a different file names example: Currently like this Code: #store{left:-200px;width:158px;}
#store{background:url('mred.gif') -150px -161px;}
#store a:hover{background: url('mred.gif') -150px 0;}
#fourms{left:0px;width:158px;}
#fourms{background:url('mred.gif') -304px -161px;}
#fourms a:hover{background: url('mred.gif') -304px 0;}
want like this
#home{left:-200px ;width:150px;}
#home{background:inherit;background-position: 0 -161px;}
#home a:hover{background-position: 0 0;}
with the background:url('mred.gif') specified in another style sheet once insted of repeating over the entire sheet. effectively so i can just change the other external style sheet to change the gif file and keep this one the same. HOW? possible? I can only get margin to work with the body element. border & padding don't. Can someone explain why pls. Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0px;
border: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>This is some text</div>
</body>
</html>
Also, i get the same result if I define a simple class and use div. e.g. .myclass { margin: 0px; border: 10px; } <div class="myclass"> some text </div> Only the 'margin' works within the class. I've been using the html>body cheat to fix IE issues for over a year now, to fix issues with margins mostly. Lately for some reason, it doesn't seem to work anymore. For the life of me I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong or not. Here's a sample of what I'm working on right now: Code: .image a {
display: block;
width: 154px;
height: 84px;
border: 1px solid black;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
background-image: url(_images/loading.gif);
margin: 5px;
}
.image img {
border: 0;
}
.image a:hover {
border: 5px solid #FC0;
margin: 1px;
}
.image a:focus {
width: 170px;
height: 96px;
border: 10px solid red;
margin: -12px;
}
What's going on is I created a 4 x 4 grid of images, when you mouse over them a 5px orange stroke surrounds the image, and when you click the image, the image "enlarges" and gets a 10px red stroke. It's working great in Firefox, but then in IE, because of the margins, images shift when you mouseover, and the red stroke doesn't appear when you click. Any ideas? Thanks. Hi, I have a XHTML 4.0 file and CSS in a separate file. The CSS if included within the <head> section of the HTML file works correctly and displays the page with the right formatting. However, when I move the CSS to a separate file and just use the <link> tag within the <head> section of the HTML file to link to this CSS file, the formatting is not applied. I am not sure what to do. Any quick help is greatly appreciated. Thanks xworder Hi... I have a slightly confusing problem. I have an external sheet which all works fine except the colour of links before they are visited, active, etc. (It worked fine but one day stopped without any intervention on my part that I know about!) The active link, visited link and hover link colours work as required and as specified in the external sheet, but it is the original link that does not, defaulting to the, erm, default colour. My external sheet is as follows: body {background-image: url("images/logo.jpg")} type="text/css"; a:link {color: #c0c0c0;} a:visited {color: #FF80FF;} a:hover {color: #FF00FF;} a:active {color: #FF80C0;} h1.c1 { text-align: center; font-size: 46pt; color: #bb8ec8 } h1.c2 { margin-left:130px; font-size: 26pt; color: #bb8ec8 } h4 { text-align: center; color: #b15fb8 } Any idea why is isn't working? Cheers Hi, I have a style sheet which works fine on my mac, but not on my PC in IE7. I know how to substitute stle sheets based on browsers, but here's the issue at hand. I have 2 styles for the <ul> which follow: ul.nav{ clear:both; width:192px; padding: 0px; display: block; background-color:#000000; margin-top:-11px; margin-left:0px; float:left; } and ul.bodyText{ font-color:#000000 font-size:12px; font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif; } it appears that "ul.bodyText is taking on the characteristics of "ul.nav" Or, for some reason, the <ul><li>'s in my Mac look fine, but on my PC, they do not have the indent preceeded by the dot. Here's the site http://www.caillouette.com/NewestSelvan/English/aboutUs.php can anyone tell me why? thanks -Sean Please can anyone tell me why my style sheet is not applying to this page http://www.on-line-biz.com ? Hi all! Hope you are well! Anyway, I have the following in my style sheet.... should this work? PHP Code: td { text-align: centre; } or not? Hi there. I have a print style that won't display images when printing.. img {display: none;} I have a certain page where I need the print style sheet but will like the images to print. How can I override the print style for the images? Hello.... As I'm sure many that post to this board are, I'm pretty new to CSS. I've been reading about it for years, studying it for several months, dabbling with it for a few weeks, and writing my first useful, semi-complex CSS page for about 2 days.... My page looks exactly like i want it to (at least with my half dozen little tests so far) in Firefox. i started with no CSS, then added more and more, trial and error, until I got it just how I like it. Then I opened it in IE! OH BOY! It doesn't even look close to what it is in FF!!!!! I've read enough about CSS to assume that Firefox rendered it as it's supposed to be rendered, and IE did whatever was convenient for them. Here's the page: http://www.triptrop.com/main.html My intent: I want a header, footer, and 2 equal columns split right down the middle. Each column will contain any number of blocks one right after the other, and independent of the blocks in the other column. Don't pick on my about the colors, I'm just messin around right now Any help would be helpful (by definition) |
