CSS - Newbie: Background-image Help
okay, so for my site i want all the backgrounds in a frame to have the same background image, so i made them all part of the class called sub, and in my .css file i have this line of code:
body.sub {background-image: url(/images/body.jpg)} it doesnt work. now if i go into each page individually and put: <style type="text/css"> body {background-image: url(/images/body.jpg)} </style> then it works. why? oh yeha, i can change the background color from my .css file, but not the image, so: body.sub {background-color: #FFFFCC} does works. thanks for the help! Similar TutorialsI am trying to create two different colored back grounds. By everytime i go to page properties it seems to add within the space that I need a different color. I am using dreamweaver 8. How do I go about adding two different colors? Thanks in advance. Here is a sample picture of where i need the different colors to be: ... since i am a noob i guess i cant post urls.. I used draw layers to sepearte the page in three parts the top part is my banner middle is the navigation bar third is the body the draw layers are in between some background space I would like to make the background black and the layer backgrounds white.... anyone help? Don't know if I got the language right on the headline? I've got the following css for my forms: .form table { border-collapse: collapse; color: black; border: 1px solid black;} and the markup looks like this <table class="form" width="100%" cellspacing="0"> however when I link a different page to the same sheet I'm getting a table that has been styled with the above scc even though i haven't marked up the class... any ideas... good http://www.rickweston.com/my_ucwdc/membership/register.php bad http://www.rickweston.com/judge/about_judge/index.php thnks for any help 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. 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: http://www.groundedgroup.com/clients/NWR/ Here's the relevant css: http://www.groundedgroup.com/client...WR-GG/style.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. Hi. Really hoping someone can help me with this... I'll try and explain this as best I can(!) Basically I've got a page containing a block of 9 images, with each linking to a video clip. At the moment I've got the CSS coded so that whenever the mouse is hovered over the 'infobar' (at the bottom of each image) it goes from having a transparent background with black text to having a grey background with white text. What I'm trying to achieve is that same effect whenever the mouse is hovered over any part of the image and infobar. The live online link can be found at: www.markmcm.co.uk/test/test.html The CSS is as as follows: Code:

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) Hi, I have a question about setting up the Body background-image via a linked external stylesheet. I have a index.html file and a myStyle.css file. I want to setup the background to load an image file, test.JPG. When I embed the following in my index.html, I see the background show up: ** inside index.html file ** <BODY STYLE="background-image: url(test.JPG);"> blah </BODY> BUT, when I define my background in the externally linked myStyle.css file, the background does not load: ** inside myStyle.css file ** BODY { background-image: url(test.JPG); } ** inside index.html file ** <LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="myStyle.css"> <BODY> blah </BODY> </LINK> Please help. thanks! Hello all, I'm a relative newbie with css, so any help is greatly appreciated. I am trying to come up with some xhtml/css that can appropriately display several images and text inside of an unordered list. For example, say I have this: Code: <ul> <li>TEXT<img />TEXT<img /><a>LINK</a></li> </ul> I am trying to come up with a way that the text inside the <li> tag always is displayed at the same level as the top of the text, if that makes sense. Also, I'd like the list element to be of uniform height and width. Finally, I'd like the second image and link to be all the way to the right of the list element. Here's what I've got so far: Code:
<ul style="vertical-align: top; list-style: none;">
<li id="li_1" style="list-style:none;">
<span style="width:150px; vertical-align:text-top;">1.)
<img src="/images/document.png" height="40px"/>TEXT
</span><span style="float:right">
<img src="/images/close.png" height="40px" />
<a href="#" onclick="return false;">[Edit]</a>
</span>
</li>
</ul>
Simply put, this currently looks like crap. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Hi I am redesigning my blog and took it down completely. I want to place the day's text post on the day's photo post on top of the latter, while graying out the photo. Is that possible without using flash? Code: div.top {
border: 10px solid #CCCCCC;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-image: url(menutile.jpg);
}
The code above yields this . It is uneven with the normal image, though both are the same size. I simply want to tile the bg image to the border even with the normal menu images. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to put labels below images on my new site design. See: www.jwsuretybonds*com/jw09 I figured out how to get them vertically aligned, but I am having problems with the horizontal, as when I change the browser size, they move. Here is one of the examples: Code:
#homepage-bar h2.construction {
position:fixed;
top:225px;
left:505px;
}
I tried changing to position: absolute; I also tried to use percentages on the left: I know this is easy, but I can't find the fix after googling for 30 minutes. Help! I'm trying to create a little background image for each image on this page. A kind of crappy looking polaroid type background image. It works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Any ideas? http://www.rhizaowns.com/holly/index.php I want to use php to get images from a database and display them as css background-image attributes I know that the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('path/file'); }
works (obviously) and the html Code: <img src='image-generator-script.php'> also works but the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('image-generator-script.php'); }
doesn't work for me. It seems as though it should work. Why place such a seemingly arbitrary limitation on CSS as only being able to display images from existing files? I've done lots of searching through documentation and on forums, but not found anything conclusive either way. A couple of people have said it works. But it doesn't for me. Is there some extra configuration step I'm missing? Does anyone know for a fact that it works? -- so I can know for sure that somewhere I'm making a blunder in my code. But the code is simple, and I don't see where it could go wrong. (As is always the case!!) I can see the image in the browser just by pasting in the script link to the address bar. I know that url() specifiers are relative to the location of the stylesheet, not the html document, but in this case the html, the css, and the php are all in the same directory. I can't see what I could be doing wrong, so it really looks like you can't do it. But why?? And why isn't it mentioned in the documentation? (At least in the placers I've looked.) If you store all your images in a database, how on earth can you display any of them in CSS except by using a script in the url() specifier? I've seen plenty of tips about generating css files from php (I already do it), but that won't help in this case. All I can think of is to have php write the image data from the database into a temporary file, and put that file name into the url() specifier. But what a horrible kludge!! I will be very grateful to anyone who can give me solid facts on this question. Andrew Blake I'm wondering is is it possible to have a background-image for the <p>?? I tried this and nothing happen. The filepath for the image is correct. I saw at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html that this is possible. Code:
p.pBullet1
{
COLOR: #FFFF00;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF0000;
BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url("image/ul_li_bullet.gif");
}
So, what did I do wrong? THanks, FletchSOD I'm having a lot of trouble with a background image that I want to cover my middle column. It fits perfectly in IE, but in FF, it repeats horizontally, so I put a repeat for only the y, and it's way too thin... Here's my code: Code: body {
background-color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial;
font-size: 11px;
margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
height: 100%;
}
#header { background-color:#000000;
height: 150px;
}
#leftbox { float:left;
width:15%;
font-color: black;
background-image:
url('/images/dkredblk.gif'); }
#rightbox { float:right;
width:16%;
background-color:#000000; }
#middlebox {
margin-right:16.5%;
margin-left:15.5%;
margin-bottom: -18px;
margin-top: -18px;
font-color: brown;
background-image:
url('../images/membersbackground.gif');
background-repeat: repeat-y; }
#footer {
position: static;
clear: both;
background-size: 100%;
background-color:#000000;
color: red; }
Now I've been told that you can't stretch background images in CSS at the moment, so how could I make this background image go in my middle column without repeating on teh x axis but repeating as far as the content needs on the y axis? Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have a small logo that I would like to stay in the top and bottom corners of my page. Can I do that? Here is what I have so far Code: background-image: url('HelpImages/LandmarkBorder.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: top right;
but this only gives me one image. I need something to show up in the top left, and both bottom corners. If this can't be done, can I have one image for the background and stretch it across the whole page? Thanks, Brad Hi friends, I am trying to make the background image at iamdesignermusic (dot) com to scroll to the left with the rest of the page when one clicks on the "music" or "video" link. here is what the CSS looks like for the background image: body { Code: Original - Code background-image: url(/images/background.jpg); background-color: #333333; background-repeat: no-repeat; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 50px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; background-position: top center; background-image: url(/images/background.jpg); background-color: #333333; background-repeat: no-repeat; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 50px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; background-position: top center; } div.button { margin-top:220px; } div.footer { margin-top:30px; } Hi there, I have a background image defined in my style sheet, but it appears around 1 - 2px to the left more in FF than in IE 7. I have all margins set to 0px. Does anyone know what else could be causing this? Many thanks! My page is a fixed width - 960px and it displays centred on browsers with a wider viewport than that. My new footer contains an image and is also 960px wide, and I have faded versions of that footer image which I want to display to the left and right of the footer image to extend that picture across a complete viewport. Trouble is, I've no idea where to start on doing that! Say for example my visitor has a 1600x1200 resolution, I want to display my 960px content and leave about 320px of blank space each side, and when they scroll down to the footer have a tiled image for 320px, then my main footer image, then another 320px of tiles. Or something. I'm trying to make a td change it's background when you rollover the link within it. This code seems ok to me, but I'm not having any luck with the rollover effect. Can any experts take a look? .nav{ background-image:url('images/topmenu/blacknav.jpg'); } .nav a{ font:12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#fff; display: block; font-weight:bolder; text-decoration:none; text-align:center; } td.nav a:hover { background-image:url('images/topmenu/nav_highlight.jpg'); } |
