CSS - Ie Doesn't Like Translucent Png's, Is There A Way To Do It With Css?
Once again my developement is stalled with the interactions of my website with the multitude of browsers...
Firebird... displays perfectly everytime without a doubt... I'm beginning to wonder why I even bother looking testing it in that browser becuase nothing is ever wrong. Internet Explorer, on the other hand, is a different beast entirely. Basically I'm trying to set up a div element that uses a semi opaque background... something between 75-85%, such that the background of my website shows through. So what I decided to do was make a graphic ( in Interlaced PNG format ) that would match my needs. As mentioned above there are some display issues in IE. I was wondering if there is a way to control the alpha level of element backgrounds without setting up/or using graphics, ( the less bandwidth the better ). Regards, Similar TutorialsI am attempting to build an online community, using phpBB 2.0.10 as its core. Two of the problems I have been running into seems as if I should be able to handle them easily, but they have been driving me up the wall. [Part I]Fixed Background Images (non-CSS) I was looking for a way to include a large background image and not have it be repeated; I finally found (just a few days ago) a script that would cause the text, tables, images, and other page elements to scroll over a fixed background image. So it seems that problem has been solved, although I submit it for your critique because I have met mixed responses to the first code Code: <body bgproperties="fixed"> which I was told only works on IE. I then stumbled across a second: Code: <style> body {background-attachment:fixed} </style> The above code is supposed to support Netscape/Mozilla browsers as well. [Part Two]Table Transparency (possible CSS???) This is simple; I am looking for a means to adjust the alpha of my tables to give them a translucent appearance. This cannot be faked due to the fixed background and scrolling page elements! I can't seem to find any documentation on the subject. But I need a partial transparency on my tables so that the background image is somewhat visible through them as they scroll. ok i tried using this script to make a background on my site translucent, the problem is that it only works in firefox, not also in IE like its stated, any ideas? Hi there, I am looking for a way to display a 'translucent' layer on top of an image when hovered on. Is this possible? I guess I can do it with a PNG, but this onl;y works in IE right? Any ideas? I have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about Exactly that question. I got this menu from a website.

Well I hope someone else here can help me solve this issue I'm having... (please note, i'm a noob).. What i have right now: ################ HTML: ################ <div id="aboutusimage"></div> ################ CSS: ################ #aboutusimage { width:400px; height:75px; background-image:url(/images/about.jpg); position:relative; left:189px; top: 4px; margin-bottom:30px; } ======================== What i'd like to have: ################ HTML: ################ <div id="banner" class="about"></div> ################ CSS: ################ #banner { width:400px; height:75px; position:relative; left:189px; top: 4px; margin-bottom:30px; } #banner.about { background-image:url(/images/about.jpg); } ====================== For some reason, the image disapears when i do this :\ Any advice? I have a table. It's a nice table, presenting its data in a clean, semantic manner. Great, so I wanted it to be a pretty table too. And I did that (problematic lines commented out for comparison): Table with some CSS (Link no longer active). Then I thought about function again. I wanted a scrolling table (Note that this was never meant to work in the obsolete IE). I added "height: 100px; overflow: auto;" to the tbody's CSS. That's when I ran into problems: Table with only two lines of CSS added (Link no longer active). Problems: There is a horizontal scrollbar. It appears to be making up for the space that the vertical scrollbar takes up. My nice cell borders are no longer in the tbody, but instead stick out of the table, overlapping anything that comes after. Interestingly enough, although the height declaration is required in order to show scrollbars, if I only add the overflow style, I still get that nasty border chaos. I am using Firefox. Any ideas on how to fix/overcome/avoid these problems? This is really bugging me. I've just run my site through the W3C CSS validator and I'm getting an error telling me I need to validate my XML document? So, how do I validate my XML document, and where do I put the </link> tag it tells me I need? I fear this is just the start of my problems here's the validator link: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/...&usermedium=all I downloaded a free layout and started using it for my club's website. After finishing several pages, I uploaded it to the school's server. However, I realized that after publishing it, the layout does not look right. It is supposed to look like this (I had to insert spaces to get around no URL postings for newbs) https:// netfiles.uiuc. edu/ro/www/Collegiate4HClub/~26/howitssupposedtolook.jpg Unfortunately, it looks like this https:// netfiles.uiuc. edu/ro/www/Collegiate4HClub/~26/index.html As you can see, there are several layout issues. First, the background color inside the white border is not the lighter green color. Also, the border is missing on the right hand side. If anyone can shed some light on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it! In case you can't pull up the CSS document, it is https:// netfiles.uiuc. edu/ro/www/Collegiate4HClub/~26/FlexibleGreen.css Hi guys, I've trying to achieve the following. I want to have a div element floating on the right 100px from the top and the rest of content is filled with text. PHP Code: <div>[image]</div><p>text 1</p><p>text 2</p> I could do this easily with simple float:right but then the image would at 0px from top and if I try to move it down (using margin or padding) the text wouldn't reach above it (would get cut off at the width of the image form the right) If I try to add another div with 100px height and 10px (for example) width above the image, the text overlaps over my image div Any ideas how to achieve this? Below is my full html code PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"> <html > <head> <title>float</title> <style type="text/css"> .content { width: 400px; background: #FFFF00; padding: 5px; } .floatright { float: right; height: 100px; border: 1px solid #000; } .offset { width: 10px; } .imgholder { width: 100px; clear: right; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="content"> <div class="floatright offset"></div> <div class="floatright imgholder"><h1>image</h1></div> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

I've uploaded a stylesheet for my page at http://noblecarrots.com/index.php at http://noblecarrots.com/stylesheet.css rather than coding CSS in the HTML itself as I had done previously. The problem is that, during the transition, all of my styling has vanished. See for yourself - my links all check out, my CSS validates, and everything else seems fine, but you're still staring at Times New Roman and whitespace on my homepage. If this turns out to be down to a typo or something similar, then I apologize in advance. I can only imagine how much of that kind of canooli you get on this forum. Oh, and in case it makes things easier, here's my CSS. I think you'll agree it's just fine: Code: body { font-family: Garamond, Georgia, serif; background-color: #c9c299; color: #41383C; width: 30em; text-align: justify; margin: auto; } img:link { border: none; } a:link { color: #41383C; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; } a:visited { color: #41383C; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; } a:active { color: #41383C; } .logo { width: 16em; float: left; margin: auto; position: relative; top: 0px; } .about { width: 13em; font-size: 0.9em; float: right; margin: auto; position: relative; top: 15px; text-align: left; } .briefs { position: relative; text-align: justify; line-height: 100%; margin: auto; } .quote { width: 25em; text-align: justify; line-height: 100%; } ul { width: 22em; text-align: justify; line-height: 125%; } .star { text-align: center; line-height: 100%; word-spacing: 2em; font-size: 2em; font-family: "MS Gothic"; } .footer { width: 40em; font-size: 0.9em; } .footer a:link, .footer a:visited, .footer a:hover, .footer a:active { font-weight: bold; } h2 { font-size: 3.75em; line-height: 5%; } h3 { font-size: 1.25em; } Converting a site layout from tables to CSS. The files validate as XHTML 1.0 transitional (html and css files validate), and appear identicle on IE7 and FFox3.5. However, when printing the page, Firefox prints the nav block correctly (page 1, upperleft, as both browsers show onscreen), but IE7 prints this block on page 3 (beside the footer). Same result on different printers, so I presume the factor lies within IE7. Can't seem to find a solution, any help welcome.

Code: <body> <div id='bg'> <div id='banner'> <div id='logout'> <a href='../templates/home.php'>Home</a> <a href='../php/logout.php'>Logout</a> </div> <div id='menupos'> <!-- Menu for the site --> </div><!-- menu --> <p id='clear'> Content of the site </p> </div> <!-- banner --> <div id="footer"></div> </div> <!-- bg --> </body> </html> and following is the css :- Code: body{ font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; margin: 5px; text-align: center; vertical-align: top; } /* site background */ #bg{background: url(../images/bg.jpg) repeat-y; width: 800px; height: 37; margin: 0 auto; /* firefox fix to center align the whole page */ } /* site banner */ #banner{background: url(../images/banner.jpg) no-repeat; width: 800px; height: 492px; } /* site footer */ #footer{background: url(../images/footer.jpg) no-repeat; width: 800px; height: 71px; } /* menu position */ #menupos{padding-top: 20px; padding-left: 40px;} /* Main Menu ul */ /* Remove all space and padding and list style */ #menupos ul{ margin: 0; padding: 0;} /* displays all Main Menu links in one line*/ #menupos ul li{ position: relative; display: inline; float: left; height: 50px; /* needed for menu_img & Sub Menu to render properly */ width:150px; /* Width of Menu Items to render the menu properly */ background: url(../images/menu_img.jpg) no-repeat; } /* Sub Menu ul */ #menupos ul li ul{ display: none; /*Make the sub list items invisible*/ position: absolute; /*when items appear, they come one below the other instead of in one line */ width:150px; /* Width of Sub Menu Items to render the sub menu below the main menu */ left: -1; /* to align right below */ top: 50; /* to align right below */ } /*When hovered, make Sub Menu appear*/ #menupos ul li:hover ul{ display: block; } #menupos ul li ul li{ padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px; /* (Top-Right-Bottom-Left) Sub Menu items padding */ border-top: 1px solid #787878; background: #B3B3B3; text-align: left; height: auto; /* to clear Main Menu height of 50px */ } /* align logout and home to top right of page */ #logout{ margin-left: 735; margin-right: 5; padding-top: 55; text-align: right; } /* to clear floats for para */ #clear{padding-top: 10px; clear: both; font-size: 10pt; color: #C90514; } i want the site background :- /* site background */ #bg{background: url(../images/bg.jpg) repeat-y; to repeat vertically..but it doesn't. thank you Hey everyone, I am making a design for my own pleasure, and for some reason IE7 does not even show the menu. Here is my code.

Long time reader, first time poster. I have an issue with a css vertical menu I've made but first things first. My target browser is IE7, this is a corporate intranet so I have some control over this. However, we do run alot of pcs with Firefox but, of course, the problem doesn't exist with this browser. Here's the issue: The div#leftbox contains the menu but when the list elements extend into the center div (div#middlebox) you can see the anchors and finger them but if you try to move to the next list item the submenu disapears? It's like it recognizes the display: block on the list element but not on the anchor? Another weird thing is that if I extend the div#leftbox width to accommodate the size of the menu and the submenu it works fine but only if i have a background-color applied to the #leftbox. If I leave it transparent it behaves as before. Here's the markup and css... index.asp Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"> <html xmlns="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Intranet</title> <link href="/styles/<%Response.Write(Session("session_theme"))%>/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" /> <link href="/styles/print.css" type="text/css" media="print" rel="stylesheet" /> <style type="text/css">@import url(/styles/<%Response.Write(Session("session_theme"))%>/calendar-win2k-1.css);</style> <script type="text/javascript" src="/calendar/calendar.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/calendar/lang/calendar-en.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/calendar/calendar-setup.js"></script> <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico" /> </head> <body> <div id="topbar"> <!--#include virtual="/inc/toolbar.asp" --> </div> <div id="leftbox"> <!--#include virtual="/inc/menu.asp" --> </div> <div id="rightbox"> <!--#include virtual="/inc/rightbox.asp" --> </div> <div id="middlebox"> <h1> Welcome to the IntraNET</h1> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Mark Hi guys Look here www DOT clickemarketing DOT com The date, before each article, should show at right. This date uses the .createdate css class, which is this Code: .createdate { color: #A9A9A9; vertical-align: top; padding-bottom:2px; float: right; font-size: 11px; } I don't know why IE shows it at left... FF shows ok Is there any way to correct this class, and make date show at right in this pseudo browser, worm collector, spyware downloader called IE ? Thanks Hi Guys, we're having some problems with common versions of IE (some versions work, some doesn't). In other browsers site works perfect. Link 1 Link 2 (forum) Screenshot Problem is, that IE stops rendering page at some point (half of the page). It just shows blank white space. We don't have any ideas what and why that happens. I think problem is somewhere in CSS file. Link to CSS file Where could be the problem? p.s. Refreshing site doesn't help, but changing IE window size (or setting to full screen mode), helps even without refreshing. Then page just loads. Hi there, Sorry for being silly and pathetic and crap at CSS, but I'm having an issue with a site I've been working on. Site URL is here, and the issue that I am having is as follows: I have a layer with a cloud as it's background. It's the one in the centre, called layer1 because I didn't bother renaming it. Because of the background being a cloud, the edges are curved, like a fluffy cloud would be. Obviously any text in this layer will overrun the edges of the cloud, and so I thought it would make sense to use padding to trim the text area down so it would all fit on the cloud. Now the problem that I am having is that while padding the left side works, padding the right side appears to have no effect :-( If anyone's got any hints or tips that might solve my proble, I'd be reeeeally grateful!
