HTML - Best Way To Use Image For Form Background?
Hi,
I'm new here but have been teaching myself html and css for a few months. I'm trying to figure out the best way to use a image for the background in a form, for example a login form. I have been using a image I made with gimp that has nice rounded corners and the shiny 3D look with drop shadows and all that. Up to this point I just use a table inside a div to place my input tags and submit button over the image but I can't really do anything fancy with the input text boxes so I was wondering is there a way to put my inputs over an image that has boxes for the input. That way I can use gimp to determine the look of the input text areas. I tried using map and figuring out a way to put a input in there but it doesn't work because you can't put form elements inside a hot zone on an image. I could use tables like I have been but the input area shows up white and won't match if I have another color in my image. Also the table always renders different in different browsers moving my form up and down or making the text areas closer or farther apart. So is there a better way to place my input text areas over an image ? Thanks and I hope I gave enough info without confusing the issue. Similar TutorialsIs it possible to put a smaller background image on top (like in layers) of my old background image? I have a background image, but I want to put a smaller image on top of that one, but for it to be treated also as background image. This image is a black vertical rectangle, but is faded on the edges to give a transparency, so its a .png. So ultimately what I am trying to do is put this black rectanlge on top of my original background image and with the transparency on the edges of this image, be able to see my original background image. How can I do so? Also what I was thinking was that this faded background would be scaled to fit different screen sizes, so do "width: 75%"? Just so that it ALWAYS stays at 75% no matter what screen size it is viewed on. Is this the right approach towards getting this result? Hi, I'm a complete newb and html-challenged, so please forgive my stupid questions. This is what I want for the personal website I'm making: a fixed image as the background that covers the entire screen regardless of what screen resolution a user's computer has - this much I've managed with CSS...I think (like this right? http://www.geocities.com/serenamonster/index.htm ) clickable regions on this background image to use for navigation to various parts of the site. Or in other words, the background image as an image map. - this I'm having trouble with, because you have to designate the picture as a set # of pixels in dimension to make an image map right? and if I do that to my background image, then it may display too big or too small depending on the person's screen resolution right? So does anyone know how I can have clickable regions on my fixed background image without the image being too big for low resolutions or too small for high resolutions? (he http://www.geocities.com/serenamonster/map.html the background image is fixed at 800x400. I want to make each star on the image a hyperlink to a different part of the site). I read somewhere that standard is 800x600 to fill a person's browser right? But on my computer the image only covers about 2/3 of the browser screen which is too small. How can I make it so that it fills 100% of any viewer's screen regardless of resolution? How does it look on your computer? I know these are probably just really stupid questions because I'm missing something really fundamental...but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! ~Serena P.S. is it possible to do mouseovers for certain coordinates on an image map? i'm trying to set an image from my harddrive as the background but it doesn't seem to be working. I've been trying <body background="image location.jpg"> but it doesn't work. Any thoughts or solutions? thanks This is the current script I am using for background change upon a timer, does anyone know how and where I can add a no bg repeat and position the image on the bottom left? Any help would be great! Thanks <script type="text/javascript"> var bgImages = new Array(); bgImages.push("/image/girl.gif"); bgImages.push("/image/girl2.gif"); bgImages.push("/image/girl3.gif"); //bgImages.push("URL HERE"); function LoadRandomBackground() { var randomImageIndex = Math.floor(Math.random()*bgImages.length) document.body.background = bgImages[randomImageIndex]; } function StartBackgroundRefreshTimer() { var timer = setInterval('LoadRandomBackground()',10000); // 10 seconds } </script> </head> <body onload="LoadRandomBackground(); StartBackgroundRefreshTimer()"> Hello All, I hope this is a good place to ask my question. I was working on a a webpage and tinkering with two different screen capturing software to capture my website then all of a sudden I realized I can no longer see the background of my webpage. I can go online and see background images of someone else webpage but no the webpages stored on my computer. If anyone has any idea about the cause of the problem please help.

I'm not too experienced in HTML and I'm having a problem with displaying a background image on this site I'm building.

It looks perfectly fine in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer the background images in leftMargin and rightMargin don't show; it's just blank.

Can somebody give me a full code <div style=""> for putting background images in divs... thanks in advance for you're help! Hey, I'm wanting to use a larger background image with a height of around 810pixels. Currently when i implement it, only around half the image appears and there is no scroll bar to use to view the whole image. And currently when i put a css box into it, when i scroll down it will still only show the top section of the image. Can anyone assist in what code to put into the CSS to allow the scroll bar to appear so i can view the whole background image? Thanks (sorry, meant to put this in the CSS section, only just realised) Hi Guys, Firstly i apologise if this in the wrong section of the forum, please let me know. My problem: I have designed a webpage for my DJ services in Photoshop and plan to slice it up. The first problem is my background. I designed it myself so its not simple. Basically i dont have a clue on how i should export the background from CS5 or how to implement it into my website on dreamweaver cs5. Also i want to export my images once sliced from Photoshop with a transparent background, how would i do this? Thanks for any help Raver910 Hello, 1) I need to know how to make my background image the size of every monitor that will view it in any browser? Any idea? OR at least the size of most monitors 2) Also, how do I make is stick so it doesn't scroll, everything scrolls above it or on it. If the answer is CSS could you please write out a bit of code for me and tell me where to put it. Pretty please, with sugar on top. I know it sounds lazy, but I use to now CSS can't remember anything now and I'm suffering from short term memory loss which is new for me. I have to relearn everything and remember it - hard to do when you can't remember what you did 5 minutes ago. ~eDee Newbie here. Hello to everyone. I have a huge problem. I am VERY new to HTML and my website was going great until the background image just went away. I have gone through every part of the layout and can not seem to find out why. Please help. I can send the entire HTML( its is not that big) to anyone who is willing to help me. Or, someone can call me or give me their number and I will call them. I need to get this website up tonight so that my business will start tomorrow. Thanks in ADVANCE> Thanks, Matt 479-643-4221 Hi, I'm using a marquee with a colour background using the following code <marquee bgcolor="#BFCEE5" however I wish to use an image instead - does anyone know the code for background image? The marquee is scroll up in a box Cheers Hi People, Another issue I am having with background images using div tags carrying on a little from http://www.htmlforums.com/html-xhtml...es-123021.html Although I can insert the background image now it does not appear to be taking much notice of the background image position or repeat elements. I could make life allot easier for myself and use a different method but wanted to learn this method. Any ideas why it would not take notice of my background positioning or repeat request? HTML Code: Header information and then........ </head> <body> <div id="content"> <div id="image1"><img src="images/image1.jpg" alt="image description"></div> <div id="image2"><img src="images/image2.jpg" alt="image description"></div> </div><!-- end #content --> </body> </html> CSS PHP Code: } body { width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;background-color:#cccccc; } #content { width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;background-color:#cccccc; } #image1 { background-image:url('images/image1.jpg'); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:fixed; background-position: right bottom; } #image2 { background-image:url('images/image2.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-y; background-attachment:fixed; background-position: center; padding-left: 6px; } Adding the padding above does make the image move along with margins which i added for testing only but I obviously have something else not quite right here. I added sizes to the body and content as I was experimenting. Do I really need them, if so what is the recommended code to put in? Thanks all Hi, I am making a basketball site and I decided to make my own kind of ESPN "Bottomline" (thing thing that tells you all the stats and facts). I made a new table row under the banner and made the image a new td's background. The image displays correctly but once it ends it repeats about 3 pixels or so over the background image and I don't know why. Can someone please help me? Here's the link: http://www.freespaces.com/kotcleague/index.html Also, if someone could point me in the right direction in HTML or CSS to moving the text that will be in the TD so its in the black section of the image. Thanks a LOT Mike I have created a image background for the heading by writing index. but when i run on my machine i can see the image. where as after placing on the web sever i couldn't see the image. please do help me in this regard. <style type="text/css"> img.b { position:absolute; left:440px; top:10px; z-index:-1 } </head> <BODY> <form name='app'> <h1 align="center"><b>aduit application</b></h1> <img class="b" src="dock1.gif" width="380" height="60"> As the title says: Is it possible to repeat an image horizontally that is not a background image? Thank you! Does anyone know if there is a way, in a layout defined entirely with ems, to have the background also measured in ems? http://www.eversnug.com/test4.php At this page there are four examples of what I mean. If the background were able to be measured in ems I think that I could have one that would work across all browsers. Hello - I'm currently in the early stages of putting together a new website, and I'm trying to have a top-bottom color gradient (in the "header" area of the page) with a background image (i.e. picture) as well. I can do each individually no problem (gradient with a 1px repeat-x image in css; and the image quite obvious), but I want to keep the gradient consistent across the entire top of the screen, regardless of the viewer's screen resolution, and the picture centered. Anyway to de-couple the two? You can see the current one-big-image solution here (and I want to see the gradient continuing on forever): http://tomatomountain.com/738/ I could just make the background image really wide, but it seems a waste of space and file size. |
