CSS - Ordering And Z Index For Background Images

I have a site that will be relying heavily on background images sitting behind all the tables. These backgrounds will work in concert with the overall background-color: property.

My question is this, on the style sheet, of which I would like to have ONE. Is there a way to change entire background-images for each page within the site.

In another post, we went over how to change images within the same <div> by simply making the <div> a holder and swapping the image on each page by using something like:

<div id="image" class="page_two">

Is there a way to do something similar using an entire background image? Or do I need a separate style sheet for each page? Perhaps the main style sheet which has a body like this

body
{
margin:0px;
}

and then attach an additional style sheet to each page that supersedes the body tag in the main sheet?

I hope I am making sense...


thanks

Hi Folks,
I've designed an H1 page heading within a DIV with rounded ends. and HTML text inbetween. It should appear as a horizontally expanding and contracting capsule. I can make one end rounded with a CSS background image in the DIV or the H1 - but how can I do the other? No tables allowed here and it has to be done only in the stylesheet. I've tried a BG in the DIV and a BG in the H1 but they don't line-up, even when there's no padding or margins.

Is it possible to somehow attach an image to one side of an element?
Thanks
John

K. I have my content bg which is to repeat, but I want to put like another background image set to the right in the content box.
HTML Coding

<div id="special_feature_top">
<img src="images/specialfeatures.jpg" width="800" height="30" alt="" />
</div>

<div id="special_feature_mid">
<img src="images/imagegalleryfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Image Gallery" />
<img src="images/jointodayfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Join Battle Glory Today!" />
<img src="images/forumsfeature.jpg" width="193" height="178" alt="Forums" />
</div>

<div id="special_feature_btm">
<img src="images/specialfeatures_btm.jpg" width="800" height="30" alt="" />
</div>


CSS Coding
*************
#special_feature_mid {
padding: 1px 0px 1px 10px;
background-image: url('images/content_bg.jpg');
}

That's the coding for the image now just with the content_bg. Now the other image I just want set to the background also so text can over lap or other images. It's a really nice opacity image that blends in perfect. I just want it in background also positioned to the right. thanks

Hello, as the subject states I have a question about whether IE can display a background image on a tr and a td correctly. I have a table row with a repeating background then in the first cell in that row I have another background image that goes in the top left corner with a transparent background color on the cell so that the tr background can show though.

This works as it should in all browsers except IE where only the td background image appears and its transparent to the page background not the tr background.

This is the css:
Code:

.professor_forum_row {
	background: #ffffff url(../images/author_post_background.jpg) repeat top left;
}

.professor_corner_tab {
	background: transparent url(../images/article_sticky_author.jpg) no-repeat top left;
}

the html is just a table with those classes assigned to the row and first td.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks,
Ryan

Ive got three divs all nested in a row. The idea is to have the main div (body tag) contain the background image that composes the color. Then the next div contains the upper left hand image and the next div contains the lower right hand image.

The problem is this. When I specify "top-left" for the image the image is positioned to the top left. When I specify "bottom-right" for the image in the next div, instead of going to the bottom right, the image ends up all the way over on the top left. why is that?

here are my three divs:

Code:

body {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-size: 12px;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0px;
  border: 3px solid black;
  background-image: url(http://www.doublethinkdesigns.com/pics/dtdbg.jpg);
  background-repeat: repeat;
/*
*/
}



div#outer {
  margin: 0px;
  border: 3px solid white;
  background-image: url(http://www.doublethinkdesigns.com/pics/upper-left-fan.gif);
  background-position: top-left;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

div#inner {
  margin: 0px;
  border: 3px solid black;
  background-image: url(http://www.doublethinkdesigns.com/pics/lower-right-samurai.gif);
  background-position: right;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

Hi all.
I've tried searching the net but every solution either isn't applicable or doesn't work.

My problem is that all my CSS background images are not displaying at all in ie7.

they are called in via link id.
so:
PHP Code:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" id="cus" onClick="changeCus()"><img src="/images/space.gif" height="30" width="50" alt="" title="Customer Ratings" /></a> 




fairly simple stuff.
the corresponding css is
PHP Code:
 a#cus{background:url("../images/custM.png")no-repeat;left:-140px} 





I have treid changing the link as in ../../images... but that was dumb.
Adding a background position.
Adding display:inline.
Adding display:block.

Can anyone please aligten me as to why all my css images are failing.

It works fine in FireFox.
My doctype is set to strict.
It is the correct path to the images.
The images are on the server.

Any help would be greatly apprcieated.
Thanks in advance

Code and page displayed

Ive been working on it for a few days...making it look like a page. But now im so close i just cant get the top and the top right and top left corners to appear correctly as you can see from the link above. Any ideas why?

I realise using just div's isn't the best way w3 style but there are reasons why im not making use of other elements.

I can't seem to find this solution anywhere

I want an image rollover with CSS to work in IE, but IE hates me so I can't get it.

Here is one of my buttons:

CSS:
#tab_nav #home_tab {
background: url(images/home.jpg) no-repeat;
width: 97px;
height: 33px;
cursor: pointer;
}
#tab_nav #home_tab:hover {background: url(images/home-over.jpg) no-repeat; width: 97px; height: 33px; }


Here is the HTML too in case you want it:

<div id="tab_nav">
<div id="home_tab" onClick="javascript:window.location.href='index.php';"></div>
</div>

Now, the rollover works well in Mozilla, but it doesn't work in IE.

Does anyone know how I can acheive this?

Thanks

BTW, here is the page

This puzzles me for this is the first time EVER that it is not working. I have "background-image" coding and NONE of those images are even showing up, yet when i add them on the index file as a normal image all is well...

Any ideas?

Is it possible without any client side scripting to load in backgrounda.gif for 800x600 resolution and backgroundb.gif for any other resolution?

Server side scripting is ok but I was hoping for a CSS method although I am pretty sure it's not possible.

I'm trying to adapt a technique I saw on matthewjamestaylor 's website to a design for my site that involves overlapping divs with background images. I can't get one of them to show up, and I'm not sure why?

I'm using nested divs to get equal column heights. I need different background images on a number of elements.

Here's the overall structu

<body> - has an image background that repeats.
<wrapper> - has an image background that repeats.
<header>
<navbar> - has a background image that doesn't repeat.
</navbar>

<banner>
</banner>
</header>
<colmask>
<colright>
<content>
<main> - has a background image that doesn't repeat.
</main>
<sidebar> - has a background image that doesn't repeat.
</sidebar>
</content>
</colright>
</colmask>
<footer> - has a background image that doesn't repeat.
</footer>
</wrapper>
</body>

I also need a background image on either colmask, colright, or content as well, and it's not showing up! I can't figure out why. It's a border image that should show up between the sidebar background and the main content background. Any idea why it's not expanding to fill it?

I'm uploading my site to elenmir dot com / themes / elenmir / default dot html

Thanks

Help please.
When I add the extra <div> the background disappears.

Background image appears behind "Testing"
<body>
<div id="siteinfo">
<div id="fullinfo">
<h1>Testing</h1>
</div>
</div>
</body>

Background image disappears
<body>
<div id="siteinfo">
<div id="fullinfo">
<div id="myinfo">
<h1>Testing</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>

Stylesheet entries:

body {
background-color: #DADADA;
background-image: url(/background2.gif);
background-position: center;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
#siteinfo {
position: relative;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
width: 800px;
}
#fullinfo {
position: relative;
top: 10px;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 25px;
}
#myinfo {
position: inherit;
float: right;
width: 600px;
}

All help appreciated.

I am writing my site in XHTML 1.1 (application/xhtml+xml) entirely using ems. The page scales really nicely with browser text resizes however all of my rounded corners (background images), image bullet points, and any other background images do not.

Is there any way to specify the background image width in ems? I think I'm going to have to mix presentational images with content otherwise.

I have split up a huge background image into three much smaller images.

I want one of them to tile horizontally across the top of the page, another to tile vertically down the left side of the page, and the third to be in the topleft corner of the page.

Is there anyway to do this in IE6?

I have tried using multiple containers and the background-position attribute, but have been unable to get it right.

Any ideas?

http://www.brendanclements.com/UPS/

Code:

@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
body{
	background-color:#000;
	text-align:center;
	min-width:800px;
	background-image:url(images/lft.jpg), url(images/rht.jpg);
	background-repeat:repeat-y, repeat-y;
	background-position:top left, top right;
}

table{
	background-color:#000;
	border:none;
	border-style:none;
	min-width:800px;
	width:75%;
	margin-left:auto;
	margin-right:auto;
}

td{
	color:#FFF;
	border:none;
	border-style:none;
	text-align:center;
}

WHY WHY WHY WHY!

lol, this is very frustrating. I have 2 background images, one for the left side to repeat down and a mirrored one on the right.

I have done my research, I have tried multiple ways posted online to layer background images to have more than one.

But it won't work. I have verified the background url's which work when there is only one, but not when I try to have two.

I know I could get a workaround with a div but I want to know why this is not working and don't want to make my code more sloppy.

Thank you.
