CSS - Ie: Background Color Inconsistent
Can someone look at my site at http://www.personalhurricanecenter.....com/index.php? using Internet Explorer?
The problem is that on the initial load, the background of the main section (white in the middle) is fine, even though I had to drop the padding to 3em. You'll notice if you minimize and then maximize the window, resize it, or click on the "submit" button on the upper-right (which will redirect you back to this page) that the background turns blue. If you scroll down, then the lower portion is white. If you scroll back up, the background miraculously turns white again. But the section that remains visible during scrolling stays blue. Also, you can select the text in the blue and then deselect it and it'll be white! This does not occur in Netscape or Firefox. Can someone tell me what in the world is the deal? I've spent a week getting this layout set so I can move on and it's holding me up. Thanks. Tim P.S. I have my background color set to blue in the body section of my css, and the main background color set to white. Those are the only bg color configurations (except for link options). Similar TutorialsHi, i have a weird problem when trying to set the background-color of a table using css. If i use the following code the table / cell displays fine: Code:
.tabletop {
border-width:1px 0px 0px 0px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:#666666;
background-color:#8C9DA9;
width:600px;
}
...there is a 1px border at the top, and the background is coloured in. But if i remove the border, and just leave in the background colour like: Code:
.tabletop {
background-color:#8C9DA9;
width:600px;
}
...the background is no longer coloured! Can anyone explain why this is please? Cheers 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: shipswatchdotcom/forum/vanilla/aaa.html Here is the css script: Code: #Body {
margin: 0;
width: 99.9%;
position: relative;
background: #F6F6F2;
}
#Head {

Hi, I have made a page using <div> tags. <div id="page"> <div id="leftmenu"> </div> <div id="mainarea"> </div> </div> My problem is that sometimes, the leftmenu is longer than the main area(1) and sometimes its the opposite- the main area is longer than the leftmenu(2). I want them both to be of the same height. (3) How can I do this? Plz Help! I have pasted the style codes for the 3 tags below. (1) (2) (3) #mainarea { background-color:#FFFFFF; float:left; position:relative; right:0pt; width:630px; } #leftmenu { background-color:#EEEEEE; float:left; left:0pt; position:relative; width:140px; } #page { background-color:#FFFFFF; position:relative; width:770px; } Hi there people, I have a question about CSS but before I start off asking this question I'll introduce myself. I'm a new user of this great forum, my name is Dwight and I'm a student on the "Graphical Lyceum Amsterdam" where I follow the education for "Multimedia Designer". Ok so now you know me a little, I'll start off asking my question. Question: I have to change the layout for a html page that askes for information from different asp pages, but that's not my problem . The problem is that I have to make some td's a different color -the background that is- but the problem is that I can't change the html page itself (it is automaticly generated and I don't have permission to change it). So my question is can someone tell me how I can change the color of some (not all!) td's with CSS without making classes? Tnx, Dwight Hi, I am trying to apply a background color to an item other than the body but I cannot make it display in IE 6 or 5.5. I have tried applying it to both <div>'s and <p>'s. Does IE not support the background-color property outside of the page background? 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 wanted usersto choose their own style sheet by giving them different links like red, green, blue which will take them to different layouts or background color page. the problem was that worked only for that particular page but if they click on any link or menu from that page it will take them back to the default color. is there any way that i can set so that their choice will stay throught their surfing ? any thoughts ? hanks Hi all, I haven't been working with CSS that long and I've searched for a fix but couldn't get anything to work. I can't get a background color to display in Firefox but it does in IE. Inside my "mainwrap" I have two columns and for some reason when I set my background to white for the "mainwrap" it just doesn't show up in Firefox.

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. ) I've been trying various fixes with my template, so that the grey background color in the sidebar, extends beyond the content to the bottom of the page. Alas... nothing is working.

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? 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? http://buffalonationsmuseum.ca Right now the property is just "background" but I have tried... background-color: I've been trying to figure out how I can use css to make one side of the body one color and the other side another color. For example: if I want the entire left 70% of the page to be white and the right 30% to be black. no margins. it needs to stretch the entire length of the page regardless if there's any content in a div or not. And it need to be fluid. I've been trying everything I know and apparently that's not very much because I can't figure it out. The link below is what I've tried using a bg image. Hopefull this will illustrate the idea. But I don't want to use a bg image if I don't have to plus the division where the color changes needs to be fluid with the text and I haven't figured out how to do it with the offset percentages. Basically the left side needs to be white as wide or wider as the left column and the right side color can go from that point all th eway right regardless of how wide the browser is. Does that make sense? I think I could do it if it were 50/50 but that's not what I'm after. http://sonicparke.com Has anybody done this or know how it should be done? i have a problem dynamically setting the html background color when i initially set it with css. if i have a javascript function: function changeColor() { document.bgColor = '#FFFF00'; } and call it when i click a button the background color changes like you'd expect. but if i initialize the background color like this: body{background-color: #FF0000;} and then later call my javascript function to change the background color like before, it doesn't do anything. what's going on here? and how can i initialize the background color and still be able to dynamically change it? thanks 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. I have a horizontal ul: Code: <ul> <li>blah</li> <li>loooooooooooooooooooooong blah blah blah</li> </ul> If I set the background color: Code:
li { background-color: yellow; }
It works fine, but If the long line gets wrapped, the height of the background of that li is higher, and it looks very funny. I want the background to be equally height, independent on the other li:s height. Is that possible? I don't want to have a fixed value for the height My page works great in firefox, but in IE the top navigation div (top_navigation) SHOULD have a background color of red for testing perposes, but the color doesn't change! It looks like its inheriting the background color #e4dfd7 from the css body tag. I've tried using an inline style, or using !important, nothing works, and I have to make this available in at least IE6 and up. Thanks in advance for any help! html code -> cosmosristorante dot com / ox / index.asp Hello, I can't seem to figure out how to get the body of this page to be white... you can see the page at: www.brandontutmarc.com/vlr and the attached CSS is at: www.brandontutmarc.com/vlr/viva.css Here is what I'd like it to look like: http://www.brandontutmarc.com/vlr/vlr1.jpg Any help is GREATLY appreciated... Here is my code: Code:
body {

margin-left: 20%;
