CSS - Dynamic Gradient
Hi.
I would like to create a gradient similar to the microsoft website. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads Look how the gradients at the top and bottom of the page work. Im sure this is not simply repeating an image. Does anyone know how this works? or can point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to achieve this? I looked at the microsoft site in Opera and NS, and the dynamic grad only seems to work in IE. So im guessing that you can also set a bkgnd image? for the other browsers? many thanks. Similar TutorialsGiven an element of a fixed width but varying heights, is there a way to give that element a gradient background that would scale to the height? I would be really impressed if someone could show me a way. Thanks. hey all, i have just been looking at this site http://www.dynasig.net/index.php after seeing a link on devshed to it and i really like the menu...thing is i can't seem to get the gradient like they have it... any ideas?? thanks in advanced to anyone who can reply RF My apologies if this is a total newb question, however I am quite a newb with CSS (but trying to learn). What I am trying to do is change a color (say red) from position 0,0 to black at position 100,100. I am sure this is possible as I have seen a couple of close examples but nothing that matches what I am trying to do (and I must admit with my limited understanding of CSS I can't figure it out). ANy help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. TJ Hi all, I am trying to do the following: I want to have a page essentially divided into 3 sections: left side|middle|right side. On the left and right sides of the page, I would like to have a gradient that is a dark shade of gray starting from the edge of the screen and getting lighter as it reaches the middle section of the page. I have seen some tutorials on the web describing how this is accomplished, but I have not had much luck. I have been told that an easy way to do this would be to treat the page as a large table, with the centre cell being another table. I am pretty sure that this is poor design, but I am unsure about how to do this the proper way. As for the gradient portion, the tutorials indicate that I should make an image that is a few pixels in height and x number of pixels in width, and just do something similar to this: Code: .grad{
background:url("gradient.jpg") top left repeat-y;
}
where "gradient.jpg" is the image I created. I could then apply the "grad" class to any element I wish, but I can not get this to work. Any ideas would be helpful. I'm using CSS to create a gradient, and all is well except for the bottom of the page: http://www.area51entertainment.co/gradient_problem.png For some reason it's placing a red bar at the bottom of the gradient. Any ideas why? http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php EDIT: Fixed using the following: Code: background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; Hello, I created a 1px x 1000px image for my background that is a gradient. In my css I have the following code: background-image: url(images/background.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; Now, on longer pages (that obviously exceed 1000px) the graphic stops. Is there a way to get around this using CSS code, or should I just make the graphic longer? Thanks! Hey everyone. Can anyone tell me why the blue container backgrounds on my development site... http://cmsbase.stealthwd.ca are having a gradient in ie? I'm talking about the news, twitter, main copy etc containers. It's supposed to just repeat the image, but its making the image a gradient from left to right. Other browsers are fine. Please and thanks! Hi all, I have searched all over and can't seem to find an answer. I am looking for a template or tutorial on how to build a center content area with a drop shadow on top of a gradient background. An exact example would be: www.fatwallet.com points2shop.com Thanks for any guidance! My css has the following code: Code: table.main {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: darkcyan;
}
body {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 14px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
/* fallback (Opera) */
background: #9933CC;
/* Mozilla: */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #9933CC, #E8E8E8);
/* Chrome, Safari:*/
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#9933CC), to(#E8E8E8));
/* MSIE */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(StartColorStr='#9933CC', EndColorStr='#E8E8E8', GradientType=0);
}
The main table is colored correctly and the gradient background works...but it stops at the bottom of the main table and restarts until the bottom of the page (my monitor is a nice bigger one so it's taller vertically than the web page). how do i make the gradient last the entire page? thanks in advance!!! -gavman Hi all, I think I came across it a while ago, but I can not find it now. There was this trick on how to make a CSS gradient background, it was something like background-color: #123456 50%; or something like it. That thing is supposed to fill up a table cell or an entire page with gradient background, if anybody knows what I am saying, assist me, please. I wish I could describe it better than that, but I don't think I can! Thank you, Chris how is that possible cross browser without javascript (i dont know if these filters in IE is javascript but they are good) i know its possible...only i dont know how.. must be someone here who know i thought thanx a lot in advance I want to setup tab links / tab strips like shown in the following article: http://www.codeproject.com/html/css_round.asp However, in addition to rounded corners, id like to have the individual tabs use a gradient. Its the center part that im not sure how to handle. Help ?!!! Can you do something like the following: Code:
a.tab {
color: #000;
background: #fb0 url("left-tab.gif") left top no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 10px
}
a.tab span {
background: url("right-tab.gif") right top no-repeat;
padding-right: 10px
}
/*my addition and it does not work */
a.tab span div {
background: url("center-tab.gif") center top repeat-x;
}
And then use the links like so: Code: <a href="#"><span><div>Home</div></span></a> Hi, What would be the best way to create a hover effect as seen on the "Get Started" button he http://themeforest.net/item/mingle-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/235056 Thanks! Hello all How can I perform a vertical gradient fill with a color starting from #0075bc and ending in black (#000000), given am using the background property in css? I really strive to stay as close to design when I get a psd from a graphic designer. Sometimes that can be a challenge such as the situation I am having now. If you look at this page Osake Restaurant you will see a header on the page that reads Restaurant Menu. This header is using a custom font called Lato. I have uploaded a screenshot of the layer styles for drop shadow and gradient. Screen Shot Below is some code I found from a tutorial for css drop-shadow - Code:
/* default setup that everything sees */
.shadow {
/* needed for Internet explorer */
height: 1em;
filter: Shadow(Color=#666666,
Direction=135,
Strength=5);
/* Needed for Gecko */
line-height: 2em;
white-space: nowrap;
}
/*
* used by browsers which know about
* :before to create the shadow
*/
.shadow:before {
display: block;
margin: 0 0 -2.12em 0.15em;
padding: 0;
color: #666666;
}
#shadow_1:before {
content: 'In shadow';
}
#second_2:before {
content: 'Happy Shadowing!';
}
/*\*/
html*.shadow {
[color:red;/* required by Safari
* so that [] is correctly
* begun. associated with
* the property, yet hiding
* it. Seen by IE6 */
/*
* seen by IE6 and Safari, but hidden
* from Gecko
*/
text-shadow: #666666 5px 5px 5px;
]color:auto; /* resets color for IE6 */
}/**/
/*
* end hack using dummy attribute selector
* for IE5 mac
*/
.dummyend[id]{clear: both;}
/*\*/
html*.shadow:before {
[color:red;/* required by Safari.
seen by IE6 */
/*
* seen by IE6 and Safari, but hidden
* from Gecko
*/
display: none;
]color:auto; /* resets color for IE6 */
}/**/
/*
* end hack using dummy attribute selector
* for IE5 mac
*/
.dummyend[id]{clear: both;}
My question is how do I go from those settings in PSD to a equivalent look in HTML w/ CSS. Do I just play around with it or is there a more precise way. Also what about for gradient. Hopefully others can learn from this thread as well. Thanks! Tom Hello all Anyone can pls help me with horizontal gradient fill using only the background-color property in css? Attached is the color I need to get, here it is an image, but I want to do this without using the url tag in css, whereby if possible I enter the color directly to the css code and get something like the image attached... hey, i have 2 CSS problems. number 1: my main <div> is not centered in IE. it's fine in FF, mozilla, and opera, but it stays all the way to the left in IE. Code: #main { width: 77%; margin: 0 auto; border: 1px solid #999; overflow: auto; background: #970303; color: #FFF; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 20px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 20px; }
Code: <div id='main' align='center'> number 2: i can't figure out this gradient background stuff. i have an image, 1 px wide and 1000 px high. it works fine, but once theres enough information on a page, and its longer than the 1000px, the image starts over and looks extremely unprofessional. how can i make so that the one gradient image is stretched out for the length of the page? thanks. I have <div> content that diplays at different sizes in IE and Mozilla, which makes lining up the <div> container below it difficult. How can I get the <div> container to expand to the size of the content height wise so that I can then capture it's height with js, setting the <div> container below it to it's proper poisition. Thanks. I was thinking of using DIVs insteed of table to layout my page. The page would be dynamic meaing the text would come from DB so i would have new articles comming in daily. I will like I cant controll where the text is put on the text. If I use CSS width="20px" and hight"20px",, <-- Yeah i know it down to the pixle,, but that would mean i would need to make a new CSS for every article that where put into the db. <-- which would be a pain. So how can I keep the controll of placing my text without using tables ? Please help a new CSS user. |
