CSS - Image Fade To Colour
Hi all, newbie here.
I have an image I want to use as a background. I want this image to slowly fade to black at the bottom (or blue, or green, or whatever, to be decided later). Can I do this in pure CSS? To be more specific, the image is a relatively small one in the middle of the page, and will fade to black which will continue down the page. Do I need to use javascript/jQuery to do this? Because I'd rather not, I'm not familiar with them and it will probably be too much effort. I have tried making the image transparent and having a background gradient white to black behind it, but that doesn't look right (obviously, since I need 0% transparency of the image at the top and 100% at the bottom). Thanks for any and all help! Similar TutorialsHi. 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.

Size I have just recently started looking at using CSS coding. Question: Is there a way to write CSS code ONLY to allow images to fade in from one image to another on a web page? I know that this can be done using other coding, but I would like to know if this can be performed strictly using CSS code. If this can be performed in CSS code only, can you send me the code? Thanks in Advance..... Is there a way to get it so that if images dont load, then it shows a background colour I tired using both colour an image, but it didn't work Code: background: url(images/background.png); background:#000000; The reason i'm asking is when i'm at college, i have images disabled, and because i used white text, i have to highlight the text in order to read it Is there a way to do this Dear all, I have an iframe of variable width (width="100%") and a fixed height. Within the iframe I show multiple divs containing calendar appointments. Quite often, the number of divs that are side by side causes the iframe to scroll horizontally, which is fine, but when I scroll to the right I lose my background image and colour in the portion that wasnt visible when the page loads. If I reduce the screen size down, and refresh, then expand again, the area of the iframe that appears has a white blank background. Is there any way around this? Many thanks, Mark Is it possible to overlay a colour onto a grayscale image to make it that colour with css? Such as using the alpha channel? Image in question would be a transparent background gif file. Hi guys, Is it possible in CSS to change the colour / image of the page background dynamically. So that as you hovered over different links , the background of the page changed. I know you can do this in JS but how would you do it in CSS? I was kinda thinking something like: a.linkname:hover, a.linkname:focus body { background-color:#00FF00; } but thats just a guess and doesnt work lol. Many Thanks, Alvin. I cant figure out how to fade it with out fading what ever is on top of it. any help would be great... This is what i want to accomplish... Have a background and then have a faded container. When i apply a fade it fades what ever is on top of it. example: go to pounce dot com and go under the sign up part and thats what i want to do. I want to have the background of my web page fade from one colour to another (vertically). Would it be possible to do this with CSS, and without images? Thanks. Can css do what the Javascript menu is doing here. I'm talking about the dissolve of the submenu. Hi. Is there any way to: a) Change background color of the title box that appears when you hover over an image AND b) Reduce the delay it takes to appear? Thanks. In CSS, is it possible to define certain colours for a certain piece of text? For example, in the site I'm doing at the moment, the paragraph font-colour is black, but when the text ''CrudeSep'' comes up, I would like The 'sep' piece of the text to be in orange. This would save me having to make an image to do this! Any help appreciated. Hi, im trying to create a block of colour of various width. Im trying to do it with <span> like so <span style="background-color:#336699; width:100px"></span> Now why wouldnt that work and is there a better way to do what im trying to achieve? I'm having trouble with my list on a site im working on. When you hover over the link, I want it to display a background colour the full width of the box, not just the length of the text. You can see the menu, on the left hand side - HERE. Here's the CSS of the list. Code: div #leftcontent { padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; display: block; font-size:90%; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } #leftcontent a { text-decoration:none; padding:0px; color:#000066; } #leftcontent a:hover { text-decoration:none; background-color:#66CCFF; background-color-width:30px; } #leftcontent ul{ margin: -10px 10px 2px 5px; padding: 0; list-style: none; } #leftcontent li a{ margin: 0 0 .5em 0; padding: 2px 5px 5px 0px; line-height: 1.4em; font-size:100%; color:#FFFFFF; } Any help is appreciated. Cheers. __________________ ULTRASUK Is it possible to set the colour of the padding in a table cell? Hi, I have found this code in a php thing of mine and I would like to change it, and this bit off css is what makes it "happen". As it stands, when you mouse over a row nothing happens. What I would like it to do is change colour of the whole row (rows 1-4) (Like in phpMyAdmin browse section). This is the code I think I should change: Code: /* Common elements */ .row1 { background-color: #F5F9FD } .row2 { background-color: #DFE6EF } .row3 { background-color: #EEF2F7 } .row4 { background-color: #E4EAF2 } I also have this bit of CSS that can change ONE row's colour, but not all of them at the same time. If it helps, this is the code. I have edited the code into the main php file I have, in all the rows, but it only changes one "cell" when you hover over it, and not the whole row. Code: <td class="row4" onmouseover='window.status="{$info['name']}"; this.style.backgroundColor=iOver;' onmouseout='window.status="Done"; this.style.backgroundColor=iOut;' onclick="javascript:window.location.href='{$ibforums->base_url}showforum={$info['id']}';">; </td> </span></td> Thanks, Prism128 PS: The iOver and iOut (in the second code) are colour references in a php file I'd like to be able to have different hover colours for different table rows. I have a general hover colour for the whole page and I'd like to have a different hover colour for the table rows. In the head I have a:hover { color: green } a.white:hover { color: white } So by hand I can insert the class="white" to each individual cell as part of the link but what if I wanted a whole row to hover white? How would I code this or is there still no way to do it? Hi, I gave in, and would like to change my colour scheme. However I do not know from where to start to select good coloures for my website I want my website to still leave an imprint in peoples mind, but at the same time it is relaxing to see and browse in. I tought of black orange and brown .. however black does not look like a relaxing colour to me ... I could use different shades of brown as well .. Anyways .. anyone having any sugestions are more then welcome. dd112g Is it possible to include (in this instance) a white border, INSIDE an orange background colour on a h1. The background colour of the page is white and the background colour of the h1 is orange, so I need the border inside rather than around the h1 bg colour for it to work otherwise you wouldn't see it for the white page background. Can this be done? If so can anyone help.. Thanks. Hi all, the page i am talking about is... http://sydneynightowl.com.au/home.php The problem is the the div 3column seems to start too early in the work flow and also the background colour on the header bleeds.
