CSS - Background Image Doesn't Display In Firefox
Okay the backgroundimage "content-header" does not display in firefox for the <div id="contentWrapper"> tag. In internet explorer it displays. Not sure what the hell is going on with it.
I hate css http://www.mgan.net/work/10-06-04/layout1.html There is the link, I have my styles in the header section of the html file. Similar TutorialsI am wanting to display an image as a background. However that isn't working for me. So can someone please help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance. This is the css code that I am working with: Code: body { background-image: url(cattle_bg.jpg); background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: no-repeat; margin: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } This is the link for that css code which is the htm file: Code: <link href="/images/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> Hello.. I've been working on this site for my Daughter using Wordpress, I've mashed about the CSS, Modding a template for the desired look for the site. I've tied validating it and it brings up a couple of strange comments about the </body> and </html> closing tags, I presume this is why IE7 is having problems displaying the page. Firefox doesn't seem to have an issue at all. I was hoping somebody could take a look at the source with a fresh set of eyes and let me know what is wrong, I've spent hours working on this and can't see it for the life of me. I'm sure it's something simple, I know I had an issue one time where a <P> tag wasn't closed and stopped the whole site being displayed... thanks. blog.mirana[dot]co[dot]uk OK, So I have put together what I thought was a reasonably basic xhtml page outline. I'm using a Win2k box. I checked it in Opera 7 and IE6 and it looks fine (more or less). I've also validated the xhtml and css codes. However, when I look at the page in Netscape 7.1 or Firefox, the menu kind of hangs a bit in limbo. Otherwise the rest of the page render's fine. I've included my code below. Does anyone have any suggestions since it's likely that if it doesn't work in Netscape/Firefox, it won't work in many other browsers either. Thanks! Shawn PS I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Firefox/Netscape, but likely my code URL: http://www.raisetheratesottawa.org/xhtml/ ===== CSS ===== HTML { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF99CC; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 20px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: #000000; PADDING-TOP: 0px } BODY { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF99CC; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 20px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: #000000; PADDING-TOP: 0px } #upper { width:700px; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; padding: 0px; border: 5px solid #FFFFFF; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px } /* Horizontal nav */ #menu { width:700px; margin:0px auto; padding: 0; } #menu ul { border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; clear: left; } #menu ul li { display: block; float: left; text-align: center; padding: 0; margin: 0; } #menu ul li a { background: #000000; width: 175px; /* was 'height: 2em; */ height: 24px; padding: 0; /* was 'margin: 0 0 10px 0; ' this affects the margin between upper menus*/ margin: 0 0 0 0; color: #FF0000; text-decoration: none; display: block; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 1px; /* was 'line-height: 2em; */ line-height: 24px; /* was 'font-size: x-small; ' */ font-size: 10px; font-size: 10px; /* was 'FONT: 8px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;*/ } #menu ul li#one { width: 46px; } #menu ul li#two a { width: 154px; } #menu ul li#three a { width: 105px; } #menu ul li#four a { width: 85px; } #menu ul li#five a { width: 56px; } #menu ul li#six a { width: 57px; } #menu ul li#seven { width: 147px; } #menu ul li a:hover { color: #000000; background: #FF0000; } #menu a:active { background: #c60; color: #fff; } #content { width:700px; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; padding:0px; border:5px solid #FFFFFF; background: url(/xhtml/graph/rtr-logo-bk.gif) #FF99CC; } ====== XHTML ====== <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Test</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="graph/rtrcss2.css" type="text/css" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" /> <meta name="ROBOTS" content="No Index" /> <meta name="Copyright" content="Copyright (c) 2004" /> <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" /> <meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true" /> <meta name="description" content="" /> <meta name="keywords" content="" /> <link rel="help" href="about.php" title="Site info." /> <meta name="Rating" content="General" /> <meta name="revisit-after" content="2 Days" /> <meta name="doc-class" content="Living Document" /> </head> <body> <div id="upper"> <div id="header"> <img src="graph/top-right2.jpg" width="700" height="78" alt="" /> </div> <div id="menu"><ul> <li id="one"> </li> <li id="two"><a href="link1.php" title="Link 1.">Link 1</a></li> <li id="three"><a href="link2.php" title="Link 2.">Link 2</a></li> <li id="four"><a href="link3.php" title="Link 3.">Link 3</a></li> <li id="five"><a href="link4.php" title="Link 4.">Link 4</a></li> <li id="six"><a href="link5.php" title="Link 5.">Link 5</a></li> <li id="seven"> </li> </ul></div> </div> <div id="content"> <p>Here is some text</p> <p>Here is some more text </p> </div> </body> </html> Hi - I've just carefully taught myself to design a site in CSS (as you can tell I'm not an expert - please forgive me this!) It looks great in IE, but the CSS doesn't display at all in Firefox. What have I done wrong? 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 Hi! I have a css file (validated) which contains: Code: TD.p1{ text-align: left; background-image: url('http://local/adres/img/szablon/1/g_1.gif'); } this works properly with Opera 7.54, Mozilla, but it doesn't work with MSIE! Only in MSIE I can't see the background image. Does anybody knows what may be wrong? MSIE version: 6.0.2600.0000 I'm creating an email template for all mail that I'll send to my users. I'm trying to make it work for as many mail clients as possible, so I'm only using inline css. Even with that, it appears that gmail doesn't support the background-image property. I have a table defined as Code: <table style="background:#666666; background-image:url(http://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}/images/bg_grad.gif); background-repeat:repeat-x; width:100%; height:100%; margin:0px; " cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> ... This works fine for yahoo mail. With gmail, it will render "background", but as soon as I try and add an image, it ignores all of the styling. Has anybody run into this problem? Any suggestions on a solution would be greatly appreciated. I hardly ever use css for thimgs like backgrounds, but I have a freelance client that has alot of interesting ideas about how a good website should look so I'm trying to make him happy. When I have: body { background: url('resources/assets/background.jpg') no-repeat bottom left; } in the extranal css it doesn't work. If I put it into the page it works fine. None of the online css resources I've looked at mention why this should be. I've even tried using the complete http://www.server.com/blah/blah/ address and I get the same results. Does this just not work from an external css, or am I missing something? Thanks y'all. Hi Guys, I am new to CSS, i have an image (attached) and it will not display as a background image. The other images I have will no problem. It is def something about the image because i have renamed it e.t.c Could someone help? Image is attached! Can you get it to display? Charlie Hello, I'm having a problem that I can't seem to fix - and I've been at it for two days now, I think it's time for an outsider's point of view. First of all, I've googled and researched to no end about this - and others have had the same problem as me, but for some reason nothing that's been suggested has fixed it. With any luck it's just some stupid typo I'm missing or something . I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 to make a site, but I'm not using the WYSIWYG editor, I'm just using that to see what it looks like as a quick-view during development, and uploading it via FTP to the server to see a more accurate representation of it (basically, the code isn't written by DW). Here's the problem. In DW, the "background-image" tag in the CSS file is displaying all of the images perfectly, but when I upload the site - the images simply don't appear, but if you resize your browser window you can tell by the way the scrollbars are behaving that it is holding places for the images. I've tried everything I can think of, including using the "overflow" tag, trying different ways of writing the file paths (absolute vs. relative), and I've looked through every line of the code over and over again. CSS file: Code: @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-color: #000000; background-color: #f5f0c4; } .pageholder { position: relative; width: 1000px; height: 750px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .outerbg { position: absolute; left: 50px; width: 904px; height: 654px; margin: auto; background-image: url(../images/bg/outer.png); background: no-repeat; } .innerbg { position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 150px; width: 702px; height: 502px; margin: auto; background-image: url(../images/bg/inner.png); background: no-repeat; } .footer { position: absolute; top: 675px; left: 154px; width: 692px; height: 32px; margin: auto; background-image: url(../images/bg/bar.png); background: no-repeat; } main.html file: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Main Page</title> <link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div class="pageholder"> <div class="outerbg"></div> <div class="innerbg"></div> <div class="footer"></div> </div> </body> </html> Here's a link to the site it's being hosted on (and not showing images for some reason). And this is an image of what it looks like in DW (also has the file structure on the right of the image):URL If anyone can point out where I'm going wrong, thank you - it's appreciated! Hello. Can someone please help me understand why this page looks fine in IE7 and Firefox, but not in IE6: http://www.shootingblanks.net/TEMP/Nevermind/bio.php You can see that the background image is completely cut off on the left in IE6, and I'm not understanding why. Here's the CSS code for that div: Code: #bioContent { background: url(../images/bkgnds/bio.jpg) no-repeat top left; width: 140px; min-height: 550px; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; } Also, there's one other page on the same site that's also behaving oddly only in IE6. The picture is not on the bottom-right like it should be, and it's getting cut off: http://www.shootingblanks.net/TEMP/Nevermind/news.php Here is the code for that div, if anyone has suggestions on that one too. Thanks!!!: Code: #newsContent { background: url(../images/bkgnds/news.jpg) no-repeat bottom right; min-height: 400px; text-align: left; } Quick problem: Page he h**p://topofferspage*com (I don't want Google indexing the url here.) Background image is displaying in FF but not IE6. I don't think I've had this problem before. Can anyone tell what I'm missing here?

Hi all, thanks on the last post, hope you can help with this too. I'm trying to get an image to display in a box, and repeat all along the box (only a 1 pixel image). But for some reason its not being picked up. my code is: Code: <body> <div id="wrap"> <div id="innerwrap"> <div id="holding"> holding </div> </div> </div> </body> and the css is this: Code: #wrap{width:60em;height:43em;background:silver;margin:0 auto;text-align:left; padding-top:.1em;} #innerwrap{ background-color:gray;margin:.5em;height:42em;} #holding {background:#3F8BCA url(/img/topgradient.jpg) repeat-x scroll left top;} I've tried to change the brackets to forward brackets, tried to and ", but nothing works, im sure the spelling etc is correct... any help would be great Kind regards MG hello. this has us stumped. here is the page: http://www.praxishosting.com/dev/csstest/testindex.htm it looks fine in IE, but in firefox, the div tag containing the background image does not appear to be expanding as the content grows. thus in firefox, you cannot see the background image in the bottom left hand cell (the only place it shows through). any suggestions? the style code for the background container is rather simple: Code: #container { width: 750px; background: url(../media/bkgrd.gif) repeat fixed center top; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; height: 100%; } I'm trying to get a repeating background image to show up in my Firefox browser but can't get it to work.

Hi there, First time posting here so dont bite my head off! First up allow me to say, that i've done a search for previous posts and although i found topics similiar to what im asking none of the answers within helped me. Second, i've run my CSS and XHTML through the validation service over at w3c. - XHTML transitional - is valid on all pages apart from the main page this is due to me running cutenews on that page and the markup isnt valid. - CSS is valid. Okay to business, im hoping someone out there can help me, i've recently just updated my website with a new layout. It works perfectly in IE-6 but not in firefox, or any other browser for that matter (i used browsercam). I have issues with the background images not displaying as they should do. And not only that, my flash animation at the top of the page isnt displaying in FF either! Heres a link to my website And heres a link to the CSS file someone help please! Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me get this background image to show up in firefox. It shows up in IE. It's the first #header image. I included the other code in case something is conflicting. *edit... nvm. I have two bits of code that work in IE, but not in Firefox, and I have no idea why! They both use the background-image property Here is the first: Code: a.bio { display: block; width: 150px; height: 26px; background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\btn_bio.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; } a.bio:hover { background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\btn_bio_h.jpg); } Code: <a class="bio" href=""></a> And the second: Code: td.window { width:670; height:31px; background-image:url(C:\Apache 2.2\htdocs\_empaudio\test\images\window_nav_repeat.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; padding:0px; margin:0px; border-spacing:0px; border:0px; } Code: <td class="window"></td> Does ANYONE know why this is happening?? hello all, I am not very well experienced with CSS, so, please, bear with me. this question may sound stupid. I have a web page that is comprised of one main table. Except for the banner on top (1 column), the main row has two columns. These columns will comprise of: 1) left column: Menu 2) right column: page content. In the left column, the menu, I would like to have a background image sitting behind the menu. I have attempted to use CSS to put an image behind the menu: Code: .menu_back {background: url('Pics/Web/menu_background.jpg') no-repeat #ffffff;} And my html looks like this: Code: <table width = "100%" class = "menu_back"> This does not work. After scouring the web without any real success , I humbly ask for ur help. I am designing for Firefox hoping it will work fine under IE. Thanking u in advance. Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an unusual problem that I could use some help with. I've a layout that uses three background images (in separate divs) - a top bg, a bottom bg, and an overall bg. The bottom and overall background images are causing a problem. The top bg and bottom bg are supposed to line up. And they do! My layout looked fine on my computer (PC using Firefox 3.5.7 and IE8). I uploaded it to my personal website - and it looked fine there also. I validated the code successfully. The problem happened when I uploaded it to my client's web server. The top bg displayed ok. However, the overall and bottom background images did not display correctly. They seemed "squeezed". The overall should be center and extend to both ends of the browser window (the image is large enough). I can't seem to identify why it would do this. I even did a test by removing all of the code except for the div containing the background image. I added another div and placed the image directly into it (so that I could compare the size). Here's the css: Code: html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #CCC; } #botDrop { /* margin: auto; */ background: url('../images/bgDropBot.jpg') no-repeat left top; /* width: 971px; height: 50px; */ background-color: #CCC; } Again, looked fine on my computer, looked fine on my web server - displayed incorrectly on the client's server. On the client's server it again displayed (horizontally) smaller than it's actual size. My background image was initially about 1200 pixels wide. I reduced it, and that seemed to make it a little better, but didn't quite fix the issue. I suspect there's some sort of calculation going on depending on the screen size. However, I don't get why it doesn't do that for me when I view it locally or on my personal web server. Here's a screenshot showing the problem: http://www.stephencamper.com/screenshot/screenshot.jpg I just want the background image to display at it's actual size. Any help's appreciated. Thanks. -Stephen |
