CSS - Background:url(some Gif)
Is it just IE that using a gif as a background url not work...
or is that one of the standards.. I know jpgs work.. but why not gifs? Similar TutorialsI have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about The layout I have going is a bit difficult to explain. Here's a diagram.. The area of importance is the header. The content and main head area are centered. The area to the left and right of the header are a <div>. However, as you can see, the background image on the left is different than the one on the right. I'm having difficulty making this work. the images can be stretched horizontally without a problem, but the two sides must meet in the middle beneath the header. I hope this makes sense. What I've got to do, I think, is tell the background image of the underlying <div> to stretch to 100%, and make this image 300px wide or so including both sides of the image and a split. The split would hide behind the header. I can't find a method to stretch the background image, though. Does anybody know of a better way, or a way to achieve this method at all without getting into completely different layouts? Thanks in advance for any assistance/suggestions. So I have a design where the background is a large (1400x1100) image that fades into a vertical gradient at the edges. I've set up the css as follows: body { background: #000 url(gradient.jpg) repeat-x; margin: 0; } Here's where I run into my problem... I've created an empty DIV to hold the large image which will appear on top of the gradient and positioned it absolutely. <div id="bg_image"></div> #bg_image { width: 100%; height: 1100px; background: url(images/bg_image.jpg) no-repeat top center; margin: 0; position:absolute; } This works and the background looks like it should, however because the large image is inside a DIV, any time the browser window is smaller than that div (which will be the case for most users considering the image size) there will be scrollbars. This makes perfect sense of course I just can't come up with an alternative. If there was a way to extend a background image beyond the borders of a DIV that would work but overflow:visible; doesn't seem to work with background images only content. I wish I could set a repeating background AND a static background in the body style, because that is exactly the effect I'm trying to achieve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Josh I have a table with a specified background color (specified in CSS). The content part of the table (a cell) uses information from a downloaded script (wordpress.com) to load information. I want the table background to shine through everything. How can I accomplish this (I suspect it is in the script CSS, but I don't know what). URL The 'home' page is how I want it (basically that background effect). But the other pages come out funny with no background. Could someone solve this, or alternatively reccommend another way. In short, I'm trying to get this one image to tile down the page to the bottom, underneath a static background image. Basically, it's a 2pixel high image that's ready to tile vertically, just having a tough time getting it to work. You can clearly see the problem here, a gap at the bottom: http://www.groundedgroup.com/clients/NWR/ Here's the relevant css: http://www.groundedgroup.com/client...WR-GG/style.css I've googled and subsequently tried out some solutions, but no luck. Got any ideas? Thanks in advance. PS - Is there a way to keep the spiders from indexing my links above? The site is on a test server, so I don't want the url indexed. whats wrong with this? body { font-family:arial; font-color:#000000; background:url(background/bg.jpg); } its the background bit that isnt working it works when the css is included on the page but when i put it on a seperate stylesheet it hasnt worked I have background image for bullet. However, in Firefox it tries to display several of them for one line, and in IE it is like it should - one background image per line. Ive set background to no-repeat, and it still doesn't work in FF. Help plz. See the problem here http://www.armedassault.org/wp/ Hi all. I'm having a small but very annoying problem with my new design. I'm using backgrounds for my divs but somehow Internet Explorer manages to push them one pixel upwards and to the left. I can't find out why and after trying things for three hours I don't know what to try anymore. In both Firefox and Opera it works fine! Here is a screenshot where you can clearly see what goes wrong. The one on the top is Internet Explorer, the one on the bottom is made in Firefox and is how it is supposed to be. URL Site: URL CSS: URL I also found out that the footer of my page doesn't go to the bottom correctly in Opera. If anybody knows how what the problem is there and how to fix it I will be the happiest person on earth Thx in advance. Greetings, Sjoerd Hello, How can add a background color to each table cell in a table header and also add a small image on the bottom right corner of each of those cells? Thanks, Miguel I want to make a webpage with ah gradient border on the left and right side of the page. The gradients will be "fading out" towards the middle. How should I do this? I know how to get one side to show up, but not both. Can I use two different backgrounds in one CSS element? (probably not) Or should I use two different <div> tags with backgrounds set with what I want and are as big as the page? Thanks. I have a div box with a 100% width and a repeating background image on it. Everything works great except when the window is smaller then the actual site. If I resize my window so that the horizontal scrollbar appears, as if I had a 15" monitor, the background image does not go all the way to the edge. Instead it is only the width of the browser window, although the content of that box displays fine. Anyone know how to fix that? someone know how to make a web with background like this... http://netcodigo.webinfo.es/ I tried, but I can't do it. pd: Sorry for my bad english. Hi, I'm building a website for my work and got in a little trouble. I do not know if it is just the browser or the code. I'm new to this CSS and HTML so i'm not 100% sure. I needed my background fixed which i had done, and on my home computer the main stuff on my page just floats above the background. On my work computer the main information is when you scroll down, after the background image. I'm confsued and wondering if anyone could help, thanks.

Hi, http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2268/demonfmconceptqq9.jpg This is the concept design for a site I am working on. I need some assistance in getting the background right as I've never used done anything more complex than a simple single background image or colour before. The grey bar at the top needs to stretch all the way across the screen, the light grey background for all the content needs to stretch all the way down the screen, even if there is no content there. While I can both get them to do this, when I then try and overlay the logo and navigation background over the grey strip going along the top, in Firefox it's 1px too far to the left, and in IE it's 1px too far to the right. Everything I try seems to fail, so anybody who can give me some assistance or point me in the direction of a good tutorial, I'd greatly appreciate it. Cheers This happens only at the bottom of the page. http://www.refinethetaste.com/html/ Ok I have a two column layout, because of limitations set on the structure of the pages html (don't ask) the only way I could figure out of making the two columns both (visually) the same height (as their content will vary dynamically) is to do the following fudge - to put the background column images as the background to a container div which then I put the columns into: Code: #container { width: 620px; background: scroll url(<cfoutput>#path#</cfoutput>two_cols_bg.gif) repeat-y 2px 0px; } #left-column { padding-left: 2px; width: 178px; float: left; } #right-column { width: 440px; float: right; } <!-- two main column container box --> <div id="container" name="container"> <!-- start left (search) column --> <div id="left-column" name="left-column"> content </div> <div id="right-column" name="right-column"> content </div> </div> This works fine in IE (5.5 at least anyway) but netscape the background doesn't show through (even if I set the left & right column backgrounds manually to their default of transparent). However the background does show up if I put some content directly into the container div, but only for the lines where content is there - it still doesn't show up behind either of the column divs. Any ideas? Also I'm using the name="" attribute as I'm sure I remember reading that some versions of NS don't like the id="" attribute and use name="" instead, but I can't find clarification on this. Thanks in advance. -D I'm trying to create some links that swap background images when you mouseover them. The non-CSS solution (which looks exactly how I want it to look) is located he http://84.9.221.75/domains/backingt...Musicindex.html My attempt at creating a CSS equivalent of those links is located on this page: http://84.9.221.75/domains/backingt...Musicindex.html I just need some help with the CSS I'm using on the latter page...I read up a little on how to do this, but it's obvious I'm still doing something wrong... I need the buttons and the text inside the buttons to line up and appear like they do in the first URL....can anyone give me some pointers here? Thank you. 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 Matta HI, I have a main div for my page which I'm going to put background image for the whole page but the problem is when I write background-image in a style ,The image display below other divs and most of the part of the image does not show.how can I bring the image on the front?
