CSS - Why Are My Background Images Breaking Up?

K. I have my content bg which is to repeat, but I want to put like another background image set to the right in the content box.
HTML Coding
*************
<div id="special_feature_top">
<img src="images/specialfeatures.jpg" width="800" height="30" alt="" />
</div>

<div id="special_feature_mid">
<img src="images/imagegalleryfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Image Gallery" />
<img src="images/jointodayfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Join Battle Glory Today!" />
<img src="images/forumsfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Forums" />
</div>

<div id="special_feature_btm">
<img src="images/specialfeatures_btm.jpg" width="800" height="30" alt="" />
</div>


CSS Coding
*************
#special_feature_mid {
padding: 1px 0px 1px 10px;
background-image: url('images/content_bg.jpg');
}

That's the coding for the image now just with the content_bg. Now the other image I just want set to the background also so text can over lap or other images. It's a really nice opacity image that blends in perfect. I just want it in background also positioned to the right. thanks

I have a site that will be relying heavily on background images sitting behind all the tables. These backgrounds will work in concert with the overall background-color: property.

My question is this, on the style sheet, of which I would like to have ONE. Is there a way to change entire background-images for each page within the site.

In another post, we went over how to change images within the same <div> by simply making the <div> a holder and swapping the image on each page by using something like:

<div id="image" class="page_two">

Is there a way to do something similar using an entire background image? Or do I need a separate style sheet for each page? Perhaps the main style sheet which has a body like this

body
{
margin:0px;
}

and then attach an additional style sheet to each page that supersedes the body tag in the main sheet?

I hope I am making sense...


thanks

Hello, I'm new to Dev Shed, I hope I won't seem like a fool here


Is there any way to have to background images?
I mean, I want to have a heading background image, and a footer background image to the same table.

longing to your replies>>>>

Hi there,

hopefully someone can help me out with some background image issues. I simply want a right hand section on my site, where i can fill it with content and it can expand appropriately as per the content and display a top, middle and bottom background image.

this is because the style of the site has curved edges, so this will be a top image with the curves, a centre image and a bottom image with bottom curves.

here is my code but none of the top or bottom background images show.

please help, thanking you in advance.

css:
#feature {
float:right;
width: 287px;
height: auto;
}
.featuretop {
background-image:url(../images/css/featuretop.gif);
background-position:top;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
.featuremiddle {
background-image:url(../images/css/feature.gif);
background-position:center;
background-repeat:repeat-y;
}
.featurebottom {
background-image:url(../images/css/featurebottom.gif);
background-position:bottom;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}


html code:
<div id="feature">
<div class="marTOP10">
<div class="featuretop"></div>
<div class="featuremiddle"></div>
<div class="featurebottom"></div>
</div>
</div>

Is there some way to rig CSS to display 2 separate background images. I wanted to put the 2 images on opposite sides. I tried, but both IE 6 and Firefox 1.0.2 displayed only 1 bg image. Anyone got a suggestion?

Edit - Oh yeah...this is for the BODY tag. I thought I ought to mention that.

Hi all.
I've tried searching the net but every solution either isn't applicable or doesn't work.

My problem is that all my CSS background images are not displaying at all in ie7.

they are called in via link id.
so:
PHP Code:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" id="cus" onClick="changeCus()"><img src="/images/space.gif" height="30" width="50" alt="" title="Customer Ratings" /></a> 




fairly simple stuff.
the corresponding css is
PHP Code:
 a#cus{background:url("../images/custM.png")no-repeat;left:-140px} 





I have treid changing the link as in ../../images... but that was dumb.
Adding a background position.
Adding display:inline.
Adding display:block.

Can anyone please aligten me as to why all my css images are failing.

It works fine in FireFox.
My doctype is set to strict.
It is the correct path to the images.
The images are on the server.

Any help would be greatly apprcieated.
Thanks in advance

This puzzles me for this is the first time EVER that it is not working. I have "background-image" coding and NONE of those images are even showing up, yet when i add them on the index file as a normal image all is well...

Any ideas?

I have split up a huge background image into three much smaller images.

I want one of them to tile horizontally across the top of the page, another to tile vertically down the left side of the page, and the third to be in the topleft corner of the page.

Is there anyway to do this in IE6?

I have tried using multiple containers and the background-position attribute, but have been unable to get it right.

Any ideas?

Help please.
When I add the extra <div> the background disappears.

Background image appears behind "Testing"
<body>
<div id="siteinfo">
<div id="fullinfo">
<h1>Testing</h1>
</div>
</div>
</body>

Background image disappears
<body>
<div id="siteinfo">
<div id="fullinfo">
<div id="myinfo">
<h1>Testing</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>

Stylesheet entries:

body {
background-color: #DADADA;
background-image: url(/background2.gif);
background-position: center;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
#siteinfo {
position: relative;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
width: 800px;
}
#fullinfo {
position: relative;
top: 10px;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 25px;
}
#myinfo {
position: inherit;
float: right;
width: 600px;
}

All help appreciated.

I am writing my site in XHTML 1.1 (application/xhtml+xml) entirely using ems. The page scales really nicely with browser text resizes however all of my rounded corners (background images), image bullet points, and any other background images do not.

Is there any way to specify the background image width in ems? I think I'm going to have to mix presentational images with content otherwise.

I have a website that I am trying to add some graphical enhancements to. I made them, and I think they look great! The problem is that they do not look the same when viewed in IE and I am not even sure where to start fixing them, as the problem doesn't make sense to me.

starcraft-source.com/sandbox/

That is the URL to the page. It works great in FF but as I have said IE is messed up. Any help anyone can offer would be awesome.

Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to adapt a technique I saw on matthewjamestaylor 's website to a design for my site that involves overlapping divs with background images. I can't get one of them to show up, and I'm not sure why?

I'm using nested divs to get equal column heights. I need different background images on a number of elements.

Here's the overall structu

<body> - has an image background that repeats.
<wrapper> - has an image background that repeats.
<header>
<navbar> - has a background image that doesn't repeat.
</navbar>

<banner>
</banner>
</header>
<colmask>
<colright>
<content>
<main> - has a background image that doesn't repeat.
</main>
<sidebar> - has a background image that doesn't repeat.
</sidebar>
</content>
</colright>
</colmask>
<footer> - has a background image that doesn't repeat.
</footer>
</wrapper>
</body>

I also need a background image on either colmask, colright, or content as well, and it's not showing up! I can't figure out why. It's a border image that should show up between the sidebar background and the main content background. Any idea why it's not expanding to fill it?

I'm uploading my site to elenmir dot com / themes / elenmir / default dot html

Thanks

Hey all
I'm trying to get to images to go to the sides of my content
div. I've been looking on Google and everyone says you cant
have 2 background images on 1 div (well is CSS2 anyways)
is there any other ways of achieving this?

also firefox is putting a space between my nav div and my content
div, but IE7 doesn't, any ideas?

Code and page displayed

Ive been working on it for a few days...making it look like a page. But now im so close i just cant get the top and the top right and top left corners to appear correctly as you can see from the link above. Any ideas why?

I realise using just div's isn't the best way w3 style but there are reasons why im not making use of other elements.

I can't seem to find this solution anywhere

I want an image rollover with CSS to work in IE, but IE hates me so I can't get it.

Here is one of my buttons:

CSS:
#tab_nav #home_tab {
background: url(images/home.jpg) no-repeat;
width: 97px;
height: 33px;
cursor: pointer;
}
#tab_nav #home_tab:hover {background: url(images/home-over.jpg) no-repeat; width: 97px; height: 33px; }


Here is the HTML too in case you want it:

<div id="tab_nav">
<div id="home_tab" onClick="javascript:window.location.href='index.php';"></div>
</div>

Now, the rollover works well in Mozilla, but it doesn't work in IE.

Does anyone know how I can acheive this?

Thanks
