CSS - Image Sprites [does It Matter If The Image Is Much Wider Than It Is High?]
Hi,
Instead of organising an image sprite as follows: image image image image image image i'm wondering if there are any negative effects to organising the images in a linear fashion as follows image image image image image image I know that Flash will only render images that are a certain width or height but is there any such limitations when using css sprites? Thanks Similar TutorialsHi, 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! 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;

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) Trying to delete my post but no option to delete so just removing content. Can someone please help me? I am trying to get my left side column to meet my footer image... just like on this website: newcastlegateshead.com See how they side bar goes all the way down and meets the footer? Mine has a one inch gap between the bottom of the column and the footer. Does anyone know what they did to make it meet perfectly?Or the proper css code & where to put it? I've been trying to get this solved for dayyyssss Thank you so much... On button on my website store on CSS but when user turn off "load image automatically" then images don't display. Please show me how to fix it. Thanks a lot. Here's the deal. I want to have one generic button image that I can use for all buttons. Therefore, I don't want to have words on the image but instead want to write them in afterward. Normally, you could just do something like Code: <input type="image" src="..." and things are fine. However, like I said, I don't want to do that because this forces me to create an image with the words already on them. I want a black button that I can write the words on, but want it to still behave like a submit button. Which means, once I type in my username and password, I just want to be able to hit enter (and not be forced to click on the button) and submit the form. Am I asking for too much? 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? I cant seem to get this to position correctly in firefox. Looks great in IE though... Perhaps I should just use divs with margins rather than ul's Figured this was simple, but I can't seem to figure it out. Using CSS, I want to put an image on the left with text to the right aligned to the bottom. I could easily do this with a table, but I'd like to find a CSS way. With CSS like: .imginfo {float:none;clear:both;margin-top:1em;} .imginfo img {float:left;margin-right:1em;} and code like: Code: <div class="imginfo"> <img src="..." /> Line of Text<br /> Line of Text<br /> Line of Text<br /> </div> I get the image on the left and the text on the right, but, the text starts at the top of the image. I want it to end up aligned to the bottom of the image. Attempting to use vertical-align: bottom doesn't do anything with the text. The effect I am looking for is like below. If you assume the XXX are the image... Code: XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX Line of Text XXXXXXXXXXXX Line of Text XXXXXXXXXXXX Line of Text I am using a single gif file as an image sprite and want to link the file name in another style sheet so i can reuse this sheet without having to have many copys of the style sheet with a different file names example: Currently like this Code: #store{left:-200px;width:158px;}
#store{background:url('mred.gif') -150px -161px;}
#store a:hover{background: url('mred.gif') -150px 0;}
#fourms{left:0px;width:158px;}
#fourms{background:url('mred.gif') -304px -161px;}
#fourms a:hover{background: url('mred.gif') -304px 0;}
want like this
#home{left:-200px ;width:150px;}
#home{background:inherit;background-position: 0 -161px;}
#home a:hover{background-position: 0 0;}
with the background:url('mred.gif') specified in another style sheet once insted of repeating over the entire sheet. effectively so i can just change the other external style sheet to change the gif file and keep this one the same. HOW? possible? 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 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? Hello. So I have this situation (on the right): h t t p : / / img339.imageshack.us/img339/6958/1stb.png and when I change my browser resolution, I get this (on the right): h t t p : / / img35.imageshack.us/img35/3892/2ndhw.png Is it possible to do that the image wouldn't change the place on a screen even you when change the resolution of the browser? And yes, the image must be behind the text. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and tips. Trying to figure how how to turn my nav bar into where if you hover over one of the parts of the nav bar it turns into the highlighted version of that part.

Unexpected IE6 Expected IE7 and FF3 Obviously the FF3 one isn't 100% how I would like it, but that isn't issue i'm trying to deal with. Clearly IE6 is expanding the entire H1's height past what I specified in the CSS, as where IE7 and FF3 listen to me and wrapped text flow outside the height I specified. Anyhow, thanks very much for any help! Dear Friends I implemented the css sprites in my application.css sprites working well in all browser except IE 6 and IE 7.I cannot know i do it .Please Help me.......... My CSS File .follow_us_blogger { background: no-repeat url('/design/csssprites/follow_us.png') 0 0px; width: 100px; height: 31px;} MY HTML page <div class="follow_us_blogger"><div> Hello, I'm having an issue with sprites. I have a few images on my hompage (not a menu), and when a user hover over those images, the image will swap with another one.

Now I've tried many different codes, and the best result I had was to display all the images like they should, but they're not hyperlinked, and they don't swap images on mouse over. Please help Thanks So, I have an app that allows the user to select images from a list of thumbnails. The thumbnails have an 'on' and 'off' state, but also have a drop shadow. I can get the drop shadow to render nicely in IE6 using a PNG hack, but I can't seem to find a hack that will allow me to use a PNG sprite so I can have the on and off state in the same image. Any suggestions would be great. |
