CSS - Css Background Fade...

I 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.

Hi Guys,

I'm building some forms, and when they are submitted, I'd like to integrate a method that will fade out the screen a bit, and show an animated "processing" .gif.

Basically when the "submit" button is pressed, the form is being submitted to it's destination. The page will hang on the form until the next page is ready to load. While it's hanging there after submitting, I'd like the screen to fade out, and display an image in the center of the screen.

I'm hoping this can be achieved with CSS, as I try to use as little Javascript as possible.

What's the best way to achieve this? I figure if anything a javascript "onsubmit" function will be a good start. Can the screen be faded with CSS?

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

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.

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:

Here's the relevant 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.

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.

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?

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.

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 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?

Am design a site just now this is the image of the site here

The problem is the blue background what is the best way to do this just now i have it like this

by use a repeat of part of the image but want the cloud part at the top left too.
