CSS - Shadow Around Semi-transparent Header
I want to have a shadow around the content of my website, but the problem is that the header has a semi-transparent image and so the shadow continues until the top of the page while I want it to stop at the blue header. How can I accomplish this?
Screenshot: http://www.yannickv.be/screenshot_massageforum.png My HTML: Code: <div id="wrapper"> <div id="shadow"> <div id="splash" class="container"> <img src="header.png" width="1000" alt="header" /> </div> <div id="menu_up" class="container"> <div id="menu_up_content"> Here comes the horizontal menu... </div> </div> <div id="page2" class="container"> <div id="panel_left"> <div id="fotodiv"> <img src="massagefoto.jpg" width="160px"> </div> </div> <!-- end #panel_left --> <div id="panel_right"> <div id="page" class="container"> <div id="content"> <div class="post"> Here comes the actual content... </div> <div style="clear: both;"> </div> </div> <!-- end #content --> <div id="sidebar"> <ul> <li> <div style="clear: both;"> </div> </li> <li> <ul> Here comes the navigation menu... </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <div id="cleardiv" style="clear: both;"> </div> </div> <!-- end #page --> <div id="footer"> Here comes the footer... </div> </div> <!-- end #panel_right --> <div id="cleardiv" style="clear: both;"> </div> </div> <!-- end #page2 --> </div> <!-- end #shadow --> </div> <!-- end #wrapper --> <div id="footer"> </div> My CSS (stripped down to the essentials): Code: #wrapper {
margin: 0 0 auto auto;
padding: 0;
}
#shadow {
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 30px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 30px #000;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 30px #000;
/* For IE 8 */
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#000000')";
/* For IE 5.5 - 7 */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#000000');

Similar TutorialsHey All! Hope i didnt scare tooo many people off with the title! Im new to playing around with transparency and am having trouble with getting the affect i want! What i want: 1. Page background as a large picture (1280 x 1024) non repeating etc. (The picture is of a grassey field) 2. a semi transparent rounded white box that sits in the middle (dimensions 735x 550) 3. on top of the semi transparent box i want my content. The reason i want it semi transparent is because i want the main background to come through and be visible through the content. and if the page is resized etc that the semi transparent box can move over the background and show the background whereever it is! Problems: 1. My first attempt i could get 90% of the look i wanted. I got the semi transparent box floating in the middle of the page and showing the background through perfectly. as soon as i add content the content is also transparent. i tried adjusting the trnasparency for the content but that didnt work. e.g. Code: <div id="semiTransBox"> <div id="content">blah blah blah</div> </div> note i dont have my actual code in front of me so please try and work with this! The wording "blah blah blah came out as transparent as its parent semiTransBox. Not what i wanted! I understand this is something to do with the parent child relationship with transparency so i tried something different for my second attempt: 2. i created the semi Transparent box and then added a second fully transparent div below which was positioned using css to move up 500px to fit over the semi transparent box. using top:-500px; position:relative e.g. Code: <div id="semiTransBox"></div> <div id="transBox"> <div id="content">blah blah blah</div> </div> The content is not transparent now but there is still a problem The problem is now because i have created the second div below the first it has caused the browser to add scroll bars to the window and shows white are where the main picture doesnt fill. is there a way to get rid of the space where the second div used to be? i really hope that essay made sense! thanks Anyone has a code for a good way to show a semi transparent announcement on a full browser window that can be dismissed by the user to show the content ? something that works like this: http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/#sectiond-2 scroll up a little and click on the demo and then show....

I want my header's background to match that of the body. Essentially, a "see-through" header. Shouldn't this be some easy markup? Thanks. hi, i have a container div, set at 50% opacity. i want my content to apear in here, but be 100% opacity. i thought this would work, but it doesn't... any help? #transContainer { background-color: #FFF; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 982px; padding: 7px; height: 100%; padding-top: 0; filter:alpha(opacity=50); -moz-opacity:0.5; opacity: 0.5; } #mainContainer { background-color: #ccc; padding-top: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 968px; height: 94%; filter:alpha(opacity=100); -moz-opacity:1.0; opacity: 1.0; } http://www.senti.ca/~kgf/programs/pickleball/ So here's the question... how do I make this picture, not transparent? Right now it's at 75% transparency on top of that background which makes it look very faded. Any ideas?

Google's "Chrome" web browser Hi guys, need some help for my layout. What I am trying to do is set a div to: When screen width is <1024 x 768 width should be fluid When screen width is >1024 x 768 width should stay at within 1024 (viz. 970) to avoid the long hard-to-read paragraphs. Any ideas? Preferbably no javascript as I want it to change as the browser resizes without refreshing, like when the width is set to 100%. Hi all, I've made a rough mock up of how i want a site to look but not sure the best way to do it in css yet. The idea would be that the colour would bleed all the way to on side (alternating side) between sections, the image attached should help explain. Not so worry on exact code, but more conceptually how the best way you think to do it would be. sorry about the size of the image not sure how to make it smaller I'm a designer first and foremost who is now working on learning CSS based layouts. In the past, I've always handed my PSD file off to a coder who generates the HTML/CSS. I'd like to learn how to do that portion myself. I know my way around the basics of CSS based layouts in setting up a standard 2 column layouts using floats and also 3 column layouts using absolute positioning for the left and right columns. The video tutorials from Chris at CSS-Tricks dot com were fantastic in getting me jump started by the way. Highly recommended. I'm now looking at how to draw up the framework for a more complicated layout in CSS rather than reverting back to old table based HTML but I'm stumped. Here is an image of the layout in question sans logo and content: codedpreview dot com/?view=5361 As you can see, in the body there are three columns, one spanning 50%, two spanning 25% and each column has 1 or 2 rows of section containers. This layout would be a no brainer using nested HTML tables. I'm confused on how to set up these rows within the columns using CSS. Would you essentially do the same and nest div tags within the three columns? Does anyone have any good tutorials or resources I could review in regards to setting up the body portion of this layout in particular? Thanks so much for your time and help! Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have a box in which I have text. I would like to make that box look like it has a shadow to the bottom right.

Thanks, Brad I've got a div tag that I show and hide on an accessKey press. It is used for special navagation in the site. The div tag has a background color defined in the CSS. The background color only shows up in FF. I know I'm using tables when I don't need to, and this is pretty sloppy right now.. but I'm going to clean it up a bit... I just finished writing a function to keep the div tags above select elements in IE and haven't had a chance to do the cleaning up yet. But I think my problem is probably very simple and is something stupid in my style sheet or some behavior of IE I don't know about or have forgotten about. Code:
<div id="gotoSmall"><input type="image" id="hiddenGoTo" src="<c:out value='${pageContext.request.contextPath}'/>/images/XXXXyyyy/empty.gif" name="hiddenGoTo" accessKey="g" onfocus="showHideGoto('show');"/></div>
<div id="gotoDiv">
<form name="GoToScreen" class="form" onsubmit="javascript:return goToNextScreen(this,'<c:out value='${pageContext.request.contextPath}'/>')" method="post">
<table class="goToTable" id="gotoTable">

<td align="right" nowrap="nowrap">
<label class="XXXXGoToLabel" id="goTo">go to</Label>

Hey everyone. First of all, I apologise for imposing on you another question about drop shadows in CSS. I have tried my hardest with what I've been trying to achieve here (including using the resources that gave me the info to use this technique in the first place) but I've hit a brick wall. Allow me to demonstrate: http://www.hrfc.org.uk/test2/index.htm At the top right of the content, there is a box I've created, within which the ultimate user of this site will be able to put screen shots, and then type their captions below. Ideally, I want to be able to have this box (.grabcontainer in the CSS) have a drop shadow. I was able to achieve a drop shadow for the <img> on its own (as can be seen by scrolling further down the page to the image at the bottom)... but I can't think of a way of extending this technique so that it works for my .grabcontainer class. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it. I've played with this all day but every attempt normally ruins the careful arrangement of the divs. Thanks for reading Eldoc Hello, I am wanting to add a shadow to both sides of the container box i have for my css site layout. Is this possible. I was using border-left and border right applying the border settings but i would like to have a more of a shadow result. Can anyone help me with this please? Many thanks in advance. Hi: I'm trying to create text with a drop-shadow without having to resort to an image. I have found the "shadow" command for CSS and have used it as such: Code: p.title_drop_shadow_yellow {
margin:0px auto;
font-family: Biondi, Serif;
text-transform: capitalize;
font-variant: small-caps;
width:650px;
filter:shadow;
color:#FBDE80;
font-size:250%;
}
This gives the desired effect in MS Internet Explorer (granted the color choice needs some work) but it gives no effect at all in firefox. Does anyone know how to make this work on other browsers? Is there another way to get a drop-shadow? Thanks. Hi guys I've seen a few websites that use a fixed width column in the middle of the screen that appear to cast a shadow over the background. I want to achieve that but I can't figure out how. The central div is 800px wide so I tried creating a very wide but short background image with this image on but I can't position it bang in the middle where I need it (the image is 2400x8px and 1.46KB) Can anyone help? Either with the positioning of this image or with a better solution? Cheers guys Hey guys I'm new here, so I apologise if I do something wrong or write something! Anyway, I have a small query regarding CSS on my website. It is valid CSS before you ask and th eproblem is - I have a shadow which is meant to appear on my website and in IE6 it does not. It is an image that is a height of 2 and then i want it to be height 100% so it fill sup the container it is in. So, border-left and border-right are in the container 'page' and do not show up (but they do in opera, firefox, safari, ie7 and netscape) Another problem in IE6, is the 100% width issue, anyone know how to fix this too? (all the widths that are 100% on the page, i tried to fix it in the IE6 fixes but it didnt work) Any ideas? The code is below Code: #header {

Im creating a training log for use by myself and to teach me ruby on rails but Im running into trouble coding the css for the interface. My content box has a significant shadow with rounded corners and Im not sure what the best practice would be to code this. Im running into trouble because when I put the top background piece in it pushes the content down to far while making the transition of the drop shadow from the rounded corner to the edge. I want the content to be 10 px from the edge of the rounded box but in order to get the shading and corners right I need to have a large slice of the top and bottom of the background pushing the content more than 10 px down. Ive tried negative margins but that just brings my repeater background higher up covering the corners. Please let me know if there is a better way in which I can have my content in the right place. thanks in advance! G I guess I cant post a link to a screenshot so I hope I described it well enough... Not working in mozilla This does not render well in Mozilla Firefox, but is okay in IE. Please Help Us........ |
