CSS - Background-image Positioning
Hello!
If i need to put background-image at the bottom of display i use such css rule: background-position: bottom; but in my case i need image to be fixed in right bottom corner. apparently i cant use two declarations like: background-position: bottom; background-position: right; so how could i attain this via just CSS? Similar TutorialsI have successfully added a background image to the page but it does not center how I want it to. Right now it is positioned at top center. I would like to move it to Center center of entire page. Using this code instead of center for background-position did not do anything. Neither did 50%, 50%. What can I do to move this over. I have the same problem with a picture file to go above the background file and web links which are all placed at top left of page. It would be nice to move them to top center of page. How is this possible through html code? Here is the code for the background image: <style type="text/css"> body { background-image: url(picture/bamboo.jpg) } body { background-position: center } body {background-repeat: no-repeat } </style> Thank you for your help, Hi, I learned css a couple of years ago but am real rusty...anyways, here is an image that i wanted as the background to the top of the page. in the white space, i simply want a horizontal menu with 4 links. i cannot figure out how to position my links in that space correctly. any help appreciated!

I have worked out a section banner. There is one for each section in a column of 4 or 5. The buttons on the left call a JavaScript that move DIVs up and down, reordering the content as the user wishes. Anyway, I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the center section where the Title is, non-fixed (expand to fit the space). I'd like it to spread out to as wide as the container allows, minus the width of the left and right ends, of course. See the actual thingy on a test page he Siliconsatan Here's the styles: Code:
<style type="text/css" media="all">
.col_tab_left {
position: relative;

}
.col_tab_middle {

}
.col_image {

</style>
Here's the html: Code:

The opening quote mark is hidden behind the image - as you can see it has a position of left, and for some reason the <div> within the <blockquote> is including the image so is full width. Any help appreciated Hi there, I'm trying to position a background image (starting 756 pixels from the left) which is repeating horizontally - but of course am running into problems because as soon as you repeat-x an image repeats the whole screen, not taking into account background positions. Does anyone have any ideas how I can possibly avoid this?! The only thing I can think of is to create a huge image to factor in for all screen solutions, and just not repeat it at all. I'd prefer not to do it this way as firstly it's not very clean, and secondly it will result in a large file size. Here is a link to the background image to show you what I'm talking about: http://joshsphotos.com/images/bg.jpg I've also put in the CSS that would show what I'm trying to achieve. Code:
body {
background-image: url(../images/bg_repeat.jpg);
background-position: 756px 0px;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
Any help would be most appreciated. Hi all, Okay, so I've got a page with a central column which has a drop-shadow and a background image... The obvious problem is that the repeated background image doesn't always line-up with the background image in the dropshadow. Plus, The backround image changes position whenever the page is resized. So I was looking here, to see if I could find the code to center the background image in the screen, and make it a fixed position, but even then, when you resize the page, the background image seems to move with it. Does anyone know how to fix a background image so that it will stay aligned with the central content/dropshadow of the page? Thanks. Hi I am trying to position a background image in my list, but I can't seem to position it where I want it, heres the example http://dmumford.bizhat.com/test/list.htm I need the bullet to be before the link home, but when I change the padding in the ul class the bullett moves with it, if that makes sense. Could someone please help me! Thank you! Hello, I recently started creating websites again and I have been pulling my hair out on this Firefox compatibility issue. The site navigation looks great in IE but in Firefox a couple of the background images are skewed down and to the left. Since all my tricks from years ago are so outdated now, I decided to try CSS for a simplified navigation setup. The code is probably pretty messy since I chopped it together from numerous sources and still am not completely sure how it works. Background: I created a large 794x1200 PNG image that contains two complete border and navigation sets. I am using CSS to both position the appropriate portion in each table/cell as well as switching to a slice on the 2nd image set for rollover purposes. An example of the current test is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *not sure if this is okay but would be best to see the example. If it is not allowed as a non-clickable then feel free to delete. It is here - classtime . org / test6 . htm and the navigation image is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *classtime . org / navigate . png I would be eternally grateful to anyone that can help me figure out why the site works great in IE but is coming up skewed in Firefox. As a side note, when I pull up the site in Frontpage, it shows the left-most cell as being larger than it is supposed to be even though it is hardcoded. To get my left image bar to show up in the correct place I had to use a value of "left: -40px;" I'm not sure why that is but I suspect it has something to do with the problem. Thank you very much for taking a look. My jumbled code is as follows: Code:

Hey folks, here's an odd problem that's got me totally stumped. I've got a nine item unordered list, each of which is a link that contains both text and a background image. The background image is a large spritebox. I'm using background-position to shift the spritebox to display the sprite specific to the a:link and also to display a separate a:hover version. Looks great in Safari and CSSEdit, but in Firefox four of the links are misplaced and the sprite is incorrect. The hover state is correct, however. This is hard to explain, but the example should help illustrate the problem. My thought was that it was related the psuedo class of a:link, but nothing I've tried seems to help. Any thoughts? The example file contains both the HTML and the CSS (just to simplify this problem for this forum). The full background image and the file containing the sprites is at my website, artmeetsearth dot org slash 2011 slash codetest dot html. To get the image type socialmediaicons.jpg instead of codetest. Thanks for any help you can offer! I have a problem I can't resolve as I'm out of my depth with this CSS positioning issue on a joomla site with a bespoke template I have customised. The problem is that the client (a graphic designer) created a menu design where the top level menu buttons overlap with a curve. I have assigned a background image on hover and it works well. You can see it he I can't post an image of the menu as it won't let me, being a new poster, which is a pain... Code: #horiz-menu a:hover {
display: block;
z-index: 100;
line-height: 22px;
left:-53px;
position: relative;
background: url("../images/style9/menu-bar-hover.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
padding-left:63px;
height:27px;
width:162px;
border-bottom:1px solid #fff;
margin-bottom:-3px;
}
To achieve the overlap, the background has to sit behind the button to its left and that is achieved by moving it a fixed amount of pixels leftward. The menu text is then put back in place with the padding. However the client now wants the hovered image to stick in the parent position when the submenu items are hovered over. I've achieved this with: Code: #horiz-menu li.parent.active a {
background: url("../images/style9/menu-bar-hover.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
z-index: 100;
line-height: 22px;
left:-53px;
position: relative;
padding-left:63px;
height:27px;
width:162px;
border-bottom:1px solid #fff;
}
The trouble is that although the background image is positioned correctly, it has a knock-on effect on all the submenu list items which are being positioned to the beginning of the background image, 53 pixels to the left... I cannot pad the submenu items over to the right as it causes all the other submenus items under the other parents to move to the right too. I suppose my question is twofold: is there any way of setting the active parent list item background image position without the children items inheriting the position change? ; is there a better way of doing what I am attempting to do? If the client had not specified overlapping buttons I would be in the clear but my client was a graphic designer who designed without any thought as to the css implications. The requirements have been signed off and I have to find a way of implementing it. Please, any thoughts? I am not a css coder and I find css to be impenetrable, arcane whilst being slow and difficult to debug. All help really appreciated. Hey Guys, I designed a header logo in the top left corner of my psd document. I am now slicing my design up and I can't seem to be able to position the header into the top left hand corner. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my CSS Code: ul#nav { height: 91px; width: 271px; margin:30 auto; background: url(images/logo.jpg) no-repeat; } I'm using a variant of a sliding doors technique to swap between areas of a background on an li when it is in normal state and when it is being hovered over. Code: div#listmenu ul li {float:left; position:relative; list-style-type:none; background: #AAA url("css_images/nav_link.gif") repeat-x left top; border-right:1px solid #333; height:100%; font-weight:bold;}
div#listmenu ul li:hover {background: #555 url("css_images/nav_link.gif") repeat-x 0px -26px;}
Basically, I've got a drop down menu working in IE6, so no worries about that, and I used 2 backgrounds before and it worked. This works in Firefox, but not IE6. Something simple I'm guessing! Hi evryone. The web site in question can be found: http://www.timtro.innovationdev.com/summer05/pg1.html My problem is (i think) simple. There are two seperate problems, depending on the browser you use. What I want is to have the background image appear only in the 'content' div, to be fixed (so it does not move with the scroll bar), and to be positioned with the allignment to the right hand side of the div. With FireFox The image is fixed fine, but is position relative to the right hand side (RHS) of the BROWSER WINDOW, and not the div. This results in much of my image getting cut off, or completely invisible with full screen and a high resolution monitor. With IE, The broblem isn't with left alignment, which works fine. I do suspect a problem with the top alignment, but that is not important. The problem is that the background is not fixed, it scrolls on large windows (try my CV for a long scrolling page.) The CSS for this div is: Code: #content{
float: left;
width: 80%;
border-left: 1px solid #ccd2d2;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
background-image: url("http://www.timtro.innovationdev.com/images/bg.gif");
background-position:right;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat:repeat-y;
}
Thanks alot mates! Cheers! I am trying to apply a background to my #container div, but I don't want it to start until 150px down the y-axis (repeating y). Dreamweaver set the code to: Code: #container {
padding: 0px;
width: 760px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: center 150px;
background-image: url(graphics/container-bg.png);
}
I've even tried it with setting "center" to "0px" and the background image will still not start 150px down, but instead flush to the top and all the way to the end of the content. I would ask if the problem is occurring because I'm mixing "center" with a pixel amount, but like I said it still wouldn't go down with "0px 150px". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Hi there, Is it possible to start a background-color a certain amount frm the top, like you can with background images? I have a background image which uses rounded corners, but when I set the background-color, it overlaps the background image so you cannot see it anymore. What I want to do is to start the background color, say, 20px from the top. Is that possible? Hey, I would like to create a tab/erollover effect using css on some links. The problem is I am not sure how to get the whole of my image displayed in the background of the link. So for example if my image is 100px wide, but my text only 40px wide only 40px of my background are displayed. How can I solve this? Ive got three divs all nested in a row. The idea is to have the main div (body tag) contain the background image that composes the color. Then the next div contains the upper left hand image and the next div contains the lower right hand image. The problem is this. When I specify "top-left" for the image the image is positioned to the top left. When I specify "bottom-right" for the image in the next div, instead of going to the bottom right, the image ends up all the way over on the top left. why is that? here are my three divs: Code: body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px;
border: 3px solid black;
background-image: url(http://www.doublethinkdesigns.com/pics/dtdbg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;
/*
*/
}
div#outer {
margin: 0px;
border: 3px solid white;
background-image: url(http://www.doublethinkdesigns.com/pics/upper-left-fan.gif);
background-position: top-left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
div#inner {
margin: 0px;
border: 3px solid black;
background-image: url(http://www.doublethinkdesigns.com/pics/lower-right-samurai.gif);
background-position: right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Hi everyone, I'm somewhat new to CSS and so far I have been able to solve everything except for this one problem. This is code from the styles.css file in the blog that I'm building, now this is a free template that I'm using and there is also a header.php file but that has only php code. In the frist part of the css file this appears: body { font-family: Verdana, sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 80%; color: #232323; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: url(images/header.png) no-repeat top; } The background line is the image that appears as the background for the header portion of the site, and it is 960px X 150px. Then there's this part: #header { float: left; width: 960px; height: 156px; } Then towards the middle of the code there is this other part which also relates to the header: .top-header { float: left; width: 960px; height: 62px; padding-top: 60px; } .top-header a { color: #000000; text-decoration: none; } .top-header h1 { color: #000000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 960px; font-size: 26px; } .top-header p { color: #000000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 960px; } So the problem I'm having is that I have designed a logo that is about 460px X 100px and I want this to go on top of the already defined background layer above in the body part. I have tried "positioning" and also tried to set it as another background and it just appears all over the place. Also the picture I crafted in photoshop has an invisible background so that only the decorative text of the log shows up, so if I use the background method to insert it, it appears with a white background. So any pointers on this would be a great help. I have tried researching this all kinds of ways and I'm still not sure what to do Thanks Chas. 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. |
