CSS - Background Color Not Working In Ff

Hey 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:

Here is the css script:
Code:

#Body {
	margin: 0;

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 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

Hello all,

When viewing in IE my background is dark red like it's suppose to be. When viewing the same site in Firefox the background is white. Firefox is not seeing that portion of code within my CSS file. Can someone shine some light for me?

Thanks in advance!! Please help I need

Please send me a message for URL. For some odd reason Dev won't allow me to post a link to my site for you.

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

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;
	}

Hello,

I have been trying to figure this out, but have been unsuccessful. I am using a modalPopupExtender, but when the popup comes up, my background is still active. I suspect it has to be something in my css file, but would appreciate some help on this. I suspect it is the css that is causing this, but cannot figure out what. TIA!

Here is the code for the MPE:

<cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID="MPE1" runat="server"
TargetControlID="btnShowModalPop"
PopupControlID="divPop"
BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground"
PopupDragHandleControlID="panelDragHandle"
DropShadow="true"/>


Here is the code in my css file:

.modalBackground {
background-color:Gray;
filter:alpha(opacity=70);
opacity:0.7;
}

.modalPop {
background-color:Gray;
border-width:3px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:Black;
padding:0;
width:250px;
color:White;



}

.drag
{
background-color:#ff0000;
cursor: move;
border: solid 2px white;



}










I found the issue by referencing a blank css file and slowly adding statements in. It was a combination of the following which prevented the backgroundcssclass to not be shown propertly:

#body div div { background: url(images/body_tr.gif) top right no-repeat; }

#body div div div { background: url(images/body_bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat; }
#body div div div div{ background: url(images/body_br.gif) bottom right no-repeat; }


#body div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom left no-repeat; }
#body div div div div { background: url(images/body_bg.gif) bottom right no-repeat; }


#body .inner div { background: none; }

I ended up add these bg imgs in my master page div tags directly and is working fine.....for now :P
Edit/Delete Message

On the main page of my site, I have a "slogan box" with a width set to 40%. This is outlined and has a background color. In IE, it outlines and colors in the blank space up to 40%, the desired effect. But in Firefox and Mozilla, it outlines only up to where the text stops.

Here's the main css behind it:
#slogan
{
border-bottom:2px solid black;
border-right:2px solid black;
border-left:2px solid black;
background-color:#ABAABB;
font-family:comic sans ms;
width:40%;
}

Attactched is the screenshot from IE and firefox.

How can I make it look like it does in IE for all browsers (i.e., what is the correct code?)

The full code can be seen here.

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?

I have this transparent png image and it looks great on a web page when you put a background color on it. the only transparent part is the border, the rest is white, so the bg color is really for border.

When you go to print it, however, printers dont normally show bg colors
Is there some way how I can force printing the the bg color when the user prints the page? (I know some times u can configure that on their printer but I don't want them to have to do anything. )

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;

Any help is greatly appreciated!

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 am trying to set background color on hover for a single table of links, rather than the entire document like the below example shows.

http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pseudoclasses/

I have tried various ways, I do not want to use javascript for this and I am aware of the way to apply background color to the .td field but this also applys to the normal text not just links.

So my question is how do I apply the background hover color to one table of links instead of the body. Thanks!

Hi,

My code validates apart from some Mozilla specific stuff at the bottom. Basically, in the socialbes-hover' part towards the end i have the background-color set to #F9F7ED which works fine in Firefox however in IE it always reverts back to the earlier code of a:hover {
color: #F9F7ED; background-color: #006E2E

and i cant seem to get it right whatever it try!

please help me its driving me mad arghh lol

thanks

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?
