CSS - Background Image Wont Show On My Site...

I have just started writing a page and the first thing I did was establish a body background color and image. It works in IE but not FF.

Can someone please give me a clue what is wrong.

I have searched all the CSS books and the internet but I cannot find an answer.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm using html:link with a background image. This works fine on IE and Firefox, but the link won't show in Mozilla. Could changes to the css fix this? Does anyone know how to solve this?

Regards,
Nina

I was mucking around with my style.css at tekindoor.com changing my header around. and I lost all of my photos. I just made some minor changes. I don't know how this could have happened. Do you see anything wrong?

I am having trouble with my site at tekindoor.com/phpbb/ not showing images including the favicon.

Hi all,

I am trying to do something that I think is trivial, but just cannot seem to get this to work in IE!

I am trying to draw an IFRAME that contains a gray background that contains a document that has a white background. The result is supposed to make the scrolling document in the IFRAME look like a white piece of paper with a gray border of 8 pixels.

This works perfectly in Safari and Firefox, but no matter what I try, I cannot figure out how to get this to work in IE (IE8 specifically).

Here is the code: PHP Code:
<iframe name='monkey' src='poopy.html' scrolling='auto' frameborder='0' 
style='background-color:gray;width:500px;height:150px;'></iframe> 



And the document in the IFRAME is trivial PHP Code:
<div style='padding:8px;border:1px solid black;background-color:white;'>
This is a bunch of txt THis is a bunch of txt ... (repeat this 
text a bunch so you have a scrollbar) 
</div> 



As far as I can tell, IE implements the background-color attribute for IFRAMES, but it seems to ignore the color - either that or its whacked-out box model requires some kinda bizarre workaround that I cannot find.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello everyone. I have a site that uses a PHP command to pull the PHP modifier from the URL and use that as a class for a header. Those classes each have their own BG image in my external stylesheet. On any browser other than IE win it works fine, headers change as the class changes. On IE win though only the first one (my "about" class) works, the rest default to the standard header. I have re-typed the rest to see if it was just a text problem but nope. Everything validates fine.

The page is http://holiday.mrpunkin.com/about.php

My classes are as follows: they all modify the "mid" div as you can see:

Code:

#mid.about {background: transparent url("/img/headers/mid_about.gif");}

#mid.activities {background: transparent url("/img/headers/mid_activities.gif");}

#mid.food {background: transparent url("/img/headers/mid_food.gif");}

#mid.travel {background: transparent url("/img/headers/mid_travel.gif");}

#mid.resident {background: transparent url("/img/headers/mid_res_rel.gif");}

#mid.health {background: transparent url("/img/headers/mid_health.gif");}

#mid.fitness {background: transparent url("/img/headers/mid_fitness.gif");}

#mid.maintenance {background: transparent url("/img/headers/mid_bg.gif");}

#mid.construction {background: transparent url("/img/headers/mid_construction.gif");}

#mid.employment {background: transparent url("/img/headers/mid_employment.gif");}

Does anyone know why IE Win won't recognize the different BG images and use those? When I view the source I can tell that its outputting the class name correctly, so thats not the issue. Please get back to me asap. Thanks.

Just curious as to what i'm doing wrong here, its the #content block that isn't working. Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone...new here and I hope you can help! Thanks is advance!

I want to repeat an image (bkgd.jpg) in my background and it doesn't seem to be working. Here is the site:

romanceplaybook
I can't post the entire URL because I'm a new registrant. But just put dot com at the end.

Not that the page background is white. It should be repeating the image bkgd.jpg

Here is the CSS:

Hey everyone,

I was trying to create a design for a friend, so I started it in Firefox, I got halfway done, went and checked it in IE7, and the background image isn't showing. Here is my code along with a screen shot of it in Firefox and IE7.

Screen shot for IE7.

Any ideas on why this is happening? IE has been going weird when ever I use background images

I am working on this page:
http://concrete-creative.com/pp/products.html

and the problem I am having is that I want the rest of the "flower" image to show behind the content area... I have it set as the background image of that table, but it's not showing up. Here's an image of how it is supposed to appear:
http://concrete-creative.com/pp/pp_sample.jpg

Can anyone direct me on how to work this out?

Thank you!

(I posted this is the HTML forum too but can't figure out how to move it, so I just posted it here too)

It was showing up until I changed something in the CSS that I can't change back (because it would mess up the formatting), and now I don't know how to further change the CSS to get the footer to display properly.

(Um... can't post link to the site, what should i do?)

For reference, the footer background is the same as the navigation background (silver). It may currently be set to highlightred.png but that was so I could try to determine if it was offset behind anything. It doesn't appear to be, unless it's lining up perfectly behind highlight.png from the navigation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance.

Hey everyone. I have never posted here before, but I am really needing some help. I am not a newbie, and make layouts on a regular basis. Now I am not claming that I know everything about CSS cause I def don't...lol...but this one has really got me stumped. Please help.

I created a layout for a friend of mine. He was complaining about the background not showing up. Well I immediately went and checked the code and IT WORKED JUST FINE. I tried the layout code on two other user's myspace profiles and used two different computers to check it and CRAZY ENOUGH, it was still working perfectly.

However when you add the layout to his profile, the background will just NOT show up. It is not only this layout, but I tried different layouts, once that I created and ones I didn't. Whenever you put a layout code in his profile, every other element of the layout works EXCEPT for the background showing up.

So I figured it must be some other code pasted in one of his sections, screwing the layout code up. WRONG AGAIN! I took at ALL other codes in every section and the background still won't work. I even tried changes Myspace account settings and all kinds of crazy off the wall things, and I can't get it to work.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Please tell me you have, and that you know what might be causing this...and have a fix. It is driving me insane. Thanks!
