CSS - Css Background-image Mystery
I've been toying with a CSS Layout for a new site with a faux-columns (ALA style) two-column with clearing footer design. It also calls for a small gradient bar under the header that repeat-x;'s a gradient bitmap accross the bar.
I've done things like this before (in fact, in the same document -- the HTML background) but for some reason this isn't working. I've checked the path in the url() for the element's background: tag, but no luck. Can anyone see what I'm missing here? Help is much appreciated.

Similar TutorialsThe 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. 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.

please help. I've got a form that I'm trying to lay out. I've prepared examples. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example1.html This is approximately what the form should look like. But I don't like how I managed to pull it off. I've explicitly declared a height for the middle row in my form. I want this to be automatic based on the contents. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example2.html But this is what happens if I take out the explicit height. The float lefts for the inner "box"es confuse the parent div into thinking it has no content. So the height collapses, and chaos results. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example3.html I've also tried making the "box"es use a display of "inline". But that doesn't work possibly cause inline elements are not supposed to contain block elements. Any recommendations? I cannot figure out how to get rid of the bottom margin on my body tag. It's driving me nuts. It's set to zero explicitly yet there's still a gap between the body tag and the bottom of the page. I don't think it's a browser bug since it happens in both FF and Opera. site: gohanman.com/cms/image/tid/3 (forum rules say I can't link) There has to be something simple, but I don't know any way to change the bottom margin other than setting margin-bottom... Hi, I have a question about setting up the Body background-image via a linked external stylesheet. I have a index.html file and a myStyle.css file. I want to setup the background to load an image file, test.JPG. When I embed the following in my index.html, I see the background show up: ** inside index.html file ** <BODY STYLE="background-image: url(test.JPG);"> blah </BODY> BUT, when I define my background in the externally linked myStyle.css file, the background does not load: ** inside myStyle.css file ** BODY { background-image: url(test.JPG); } ** inside index.html file ** <LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="myStyle.css"> <BODY> blah </BODY> </LINK> Please help. thanks! Hi. Really hoping someone can help me with this... I'll try and explain this as best I can(!) Basically I've got a page containing a block of 9 images, with each linking to a video clip. At the moment I've got the CSS coded so that whenever the mouse is hovered over the 'infobar' (at the bottom of each image) it goes from having a transparent background with black text to having a grey background with white text. What I'm trying to achieve is that same effect whenever the mouse is hovered over any part of the image and infobar. The live online link can be found at: www.markmcm.co.uk/test/test.html The CSS is as as follows: Code:

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) Forget it, I solved the issue. How does one delete a post like this... Hi gang, First of all, take a look at this page: http://www.cheeyewear.com.au/news.php I've made a website for a client and they are saying they can't use/interact with the menu on the right. I've tested every browser PC and Mac and they are all working fine. It happened after I added in the new footer code but I can't re-produce the issue at all. She says she sees the issue "Safari and at work Google Chrome". I know she uses a PC at her work. She's finding the same issue with this page: http://www.cheeyewear.com.au/eye_testing.php Can anyone else out there no interact with the right column on these pages?? Thanks!! Ham If I have <div class="menu"> <table> <tr> <td>Home page</td> </tr> and in my style sheet td.menu { color:red; } then too bad for me. I have to put class=menu in every <td> tag. There must be a better way. Hi I am redesigning my blog and took it down completely. I want to place the day's text post on the day's photo post on top of the latter, while graying out the photo. Is that possible without using flash? I thought it might have been carriage returns, but it's not. For some reason, Textwrangler is showing either question marks (for firefox for windows) or little boxes (for IE for windows). The problem isn't happening for Safari or FF for mac. I can't figure out what it is. the site I am trying to put labels below images on my new site design. See: www.jwsuretybonds*com/jw09 I figured out how to get them vertically aligned, but I am having problems with the horizontal, as when I change the browser size, they move. Here is one of the examples: Code:
#homepage-bar h2.construction {
position:fixed;
top:225px;
left:505px;
}
I tried changing to position: absolute; I also tried to use percentages on the left: I know this is easy, but I can't find the fix after googling for 30 minutes. Help! I'm trying to create a little background image for each image on this page. A kind of crappy looking polaroid type background image. It works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Any ideas? http://www.rhizaowns.com/holly/index.php Code: div.top {
border: 10px solid #CCCCCC;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-image: url(menutile.jpg);
}
The code above yields this . It is uneven with the normal image, though both are the same size. I simply want to tile the bg image to the border even with the normal menu images. What am I doing wrong? I want to use php to get images from a database and display them as css background-image attributes I know that the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('path/file'); }
works (obviously) and the html Code: <img src='image-generator-script.php'> also works but the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('image-generator-script.php'); }
doesn't work for me. It seems as though it should work. Why place such a seemingly arbitrary limitation on CSS as only being able to display images from existing files? I've done lots of searching through documentation and on forums, but not found anything conclusive either way. A couple of people have said it works. But it doesn't for me. Is there some extra configuration step I'm missing? Does anyone know for a fact that it works? -- so I can know for sure that somewhere I'm making a blunder in my code. But the code is simple, and I don't see where it could go wrong. (As is always the case!!) I can see the image in the browser just by pasting in the script link to the address bar. I know that url() specifiers are relative to the location of the stylesheet, not the html document, but in this case the html, the css, and the php are all in the same directory. I can't see what I could be doing wrong, so it really looks like you can't do it. But why?? And why isn't it mentioned in the documentation? (At least in the placers I've looked.) If you store all your images in a database, how on earth can you display any of them in CSS except by using a script in the url() specifier? I've seen plenty of tips about generating css files from php (I already do it), but that won't help in this case. All I can think of is to have php write the image data from the database into a temporary file, and put that file name into the url() specifier. But what a horrible kludge!! I will be very grateful to anyone who can give me solid facts on this question. Andrew Blake Hi there, I have a background image defined in my style sheet, but it appears around 1 - 2px to the left more in FF than in IE 7. I have all margins set to 0px. Does anyone know what else could be causing this? Many thanks! If I set the BG image in the css for the Header Div it of course will be the same BG image in the Header Div's on all pages. I am working on a website on which I want a different BG image in the Header Div on each page of the site. Just elinminating the BG image in the Header Div css will of course allow me to add different & individual photos in the Header of each page. But, that doesn't solve my problem. The image in the Header needs to be a BG image so that I can place text over the image. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have a small logo that I would like to stay in the top and bottom corners of my page. Can I do that? Here is what I have so far Code: background-image: url('HelpImages/LandmarkBorder.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: top right;
but this only gives me one image. I need something to show up in the top left, and both bottom corners. If this can't be done, can I have one image for the background and stretch it across the whole page? Thanks, Brad |
