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: /* * Page Stylesheet */ body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #eaeaea; border:0; margin:0; padding:0; height: 100%; } a:link { text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; } a:active { text-decoration: none; } #container { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; min-height: 100%; width: 936px; } * html #container { height: 100%; } #content { float:left; position: relative; height: 528px; width: 936px; z-index: 0; } .miniscreen1, .miniscreen2, .miniscreen3, .miniscreen4, .miniscreen5, .miniscreen6, .miniscreen7, .miniscreen8, .miniscreen9 { position: absolute; float: left; display: block; width: 312px; height: 176px; } .miniscreen1 { top: 0; left: 0; } .miniscreen2 { top:0; left: 312px; } .miniscreen3 { top: 0; left: 624px; } .miniscreen4 { left: 0; top:176px; } .miniscreen5 { left: 312px; top:176px; } .miniscreen6 { left: 624px; top:176px; } .miniscreen7 { left: 0; top:352px; } .miniscreen8 { left: 312px; top:352px; } .miniscreen9 { left: 624px; top:352px; } .info { height: 30px; top:3px; left: 40px; width: 265px; float: left; position: absolute; } .infobar { left:0px; position: absolute; top: 140px; width: 312px; height: 36px; outline: none; color:#000; background: url("data/infobar.png") no-repeat 0 0; z-index: 650; } .infobar:hover { background-position: 0 -36px; outline: none; color:#fff; } #infobar span { display: none; outline: none; } .clip_title { outline: none; font-size: 85%; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; } .clip_sub { outline: none; height: 13px; font-size: 80%; line-height: 13px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; } And the HTML is: 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"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Test Page</title> <meta name="description" content=" " /> <meta name="keywords" content=" " /> <meta name="generator" content=" " /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="page.css" media="screen" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <span class="miniscreen1"> <a href="#"> <img src="img/clip1.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 1<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen2"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip2.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 2<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen3"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip3.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 3<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen4"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip4.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 4<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen5"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip5.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 5<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen6"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip6.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 6<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen7"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip7.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 7<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen8"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip8.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 8<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> <span class="miniscreen9"> <a href="#"><img src="img/clip9.jpg" width="312" height="176" border="0"> <span class="infobar"><span class="info clip_title">Test Clip 9<br><span class="clip_sub">123 Productions</span></span></span></a> </span></span> </div> </div> </body> </html> There must be a better (and easier?) way to do this. Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) 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'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 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! 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. 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 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. hey all i have a repeating image in a css area at the top of the page but i wanna put the site logo in the top left hand corner however i am having difficulties.. i dont know if there is an actual way to put it in the css file but i have tried to put it in the <div> tags but the image is half in the top bar and half out here is the CSS code for the relevant area Code: #TitleBar { margin:0px 0px 10px 0px; padding:28px 0px 5px 10px; padding-left:10px; /* For IE5/Win's benefit height = [correct height] + [top padding] + [top and bottom border widths] */ height:51px; /* 14px + 17px + 2px = 33px */ border-style:solid; border-color: #ffffff; border-top: 1px #FFC54D solid; border-bottom: 1px #FFC54D solid; border-width:1px 1px; /* top and bottom borders: 1px; left and right borders: 0px */ line-height:11px; background-color:#FFFFFF; background-image:url(../images/mastersafelogo.jpg); background-position: 2% 2px; background-repeat: repeat-x; /* This is a fix for IE% */ voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family:inherit; height:32px; /* the correct height */ } /* "be nice to Opera 5" */ body>#TitleBar {height:32px;} and here is the div if you need it ... Code: <div id="TitleBar"> <img src="images/mastersafelogomain.jpg" width="138" height="63"></div> as you can tell i am new to CSS and still learning a lot! any advice would be great thanks RF 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'); } If I set the BG image in the css for the Header Div it of course will be the same BG image in the Header Div's on all pages. I am working on a website on which I want a different BG image in the Header Div on each page of the site. Just elinminating the BG image in the Header Div css will of course allow me to add different & individual photos in the Header of each page. But, that doesn't solve my problem. The image in the Header needs to be a BG image so that I can place text over the image. Any and all help would be appreciated. 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 am trying to display a button image (70px * 70px) with text positioned above it. However, the size of the button scales with the size of the font of the text. How can I get the image displayed at full size? Image attached.

Thanks 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; } 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 I have a div named navbar and im trying to apply a background image to a tags within that div. Now for some reason everything applies fine but my background image doesn't show up not even in dreamweaver. However the background image shows up when I apply it directly to divs. Any idea? |
