HTML - Different Background Colour On Each Side Of An Image
Hi all, nooby web developer here, so sorry if this question has an obvious answer, but I've searched all over for an answer to this.
I've got a 'masthead' image at the top of my site, which has a colour gradient going from red to white. If I set the background colour for the element that its in to either red or white, it doesn't quite look right. What I'd really like is a different solid colour either side of the image. I was wondering: is there any way to set the background colour of one side of the image to red, and one side to white? Many thanks in advance.

(nothing has helped so far) Anyways, heres my site If you scroll to the bottom you can see the footer box, It's the same color as the posts. I want to change the footer box to white, but everything I change doesn't effect it. I'm also wondering how to create rounded corners on the main blog posts, as i believe this will make the layout smoother. yet i've not found any code that works! Any help would be appreciated a billion Hi I have a DIV that contains a php include on my page. The main page with the DIV has a black background, and the include page has a purple background. The problem is that the include's background is overriding the main page background, making it all purple. How do I make the background colors perform as they should? Thanks for your help Shaun Hi All, Nice site BTW, my problem is i want to add some text with a background colour behind it but i want the background colour to stretch the full width of the page ? Can anybody help me out Thanks Hi, I have a search form with the following code:# <!-- Begin FusionBot.com site search engine code--> <FORM NAME=fbsearch METHOD=GET ACTION="http://ss021.fusionbot.com/cgi-bin/ss_query"> <INPUT TYPE=text NAME=keys style="height: 18px; width: 100px; background-color:#1E7CC8;<input size="8" SIZE=10> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=sitenbr VALUE="154309449"> <INPUT TYPE="image" src="http://www.freewebs.com/hanifm/search.gif" name="go" value="go" alt="Click to Search"><BR> </DIV> </FORM> <!-- End FusionBot.com site search engine code --> What I want is, is for the form to be like the login area of this site: http://www.pixel2life.com/ if u look at the top right of that site u can see it has the bit with username. I want that same style of the box with the white text inside and with the same border thickness and colour. These are the colours: Inside of the form (background): #1E7CC8 The Border colour: #64A2D6 The boder thickness has to be small like the one on the sie If anyone could do this it would be much appreciated. Thank You I'm designing a website in html for a college project. I'm having a bit of trouble so hopefully someone here can help me. At the moment I have a white square on the homepage that is a link. I was hoping that when I have visited the page it links to and return to the homepage this square will be a different colour. I don't know if this is even possible but I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me. Thanks Hi there, Hoping I can explain my situation without having to post an example. I have a logo, which I want to be centred... Easy enough. However, on the left of the text for the logo, there is an image, which kind of overlaps the text (imagine someone holding there arm out straight across top of text, and the person is fat lol). My predicament is this... If I leave the person as a part of the original logo, the font isn't centred and does look kinda odd with the rest of the page. So what I'd like to do is have the text centred, and have the person to the left, without affecting the centre of the text. Although I will need the person on the left to be close enough to the text to look like the complete logo. Also, might be worth me mentioning, the person on the left is taller than the font, and so I'd like the text to be in the midle of them (say waist height). Anyone understand me or am I gonna have to post up an example? lol Cheers Ps, I think I've done something similar in XML and CSS using just text, but never with an image, and don't really remember it too well anyway. Ok IE guru's I am in need of help. I have a cell with a background image and the right last few pixels are cut off. Keep in mind I am using IE 7.0. Here is the code and the exact image size is 641W by 62H. When I adjust the cell to 461w the last right few pixels are cut off... If I change the size to 462, 463, 464.... etc you get it I am sure still cut off... Helppppppp... Code: <tr> <td width="5"></td> <td width="642" height="62" background="images/h1_bg.jpg"><h1> <?=$Keyword?> <?=$PageName?></h1></td> <td width="5"></td> <td><A CLASS="navi" HREF="rate.php" TITLE="Request A Guaranteed Flat Rate Click Here"><img width="287" height="60" class="banner" src="images/1.gif"></a></td> <td width="5"></td> </td> </tr> Is 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? I'm having some trouble trying to get the following page to show the three link columns centered, side by side: http://centralmusic.com.previewmysite.com/links.php EDIT: for reference, the title LINK is properly centered, and the ARTIST column should be directly below that, as is seen on the contact page I've tried every trick you can find on google, but nothing seems to work while the float tag is involved, and if I remove the tag then the divs arn't side by side. I've found that if I make a containing DIV with a FIXED witdth, it will center THAT div within it's parent using the margin: 0 trick. however, the 3 interior divs still float to the left of that container div. so if the containing div is wider then the total width of the interior divs, they do not appeared center (however on this page I COULD make use of equal column widths, but it doesn't end up being FF friendly). Alright so I actually tried a couple more things after typing that last paragraph. On this page: http://centralmusic.com.previewmysite.com/gallery.php I find that what i described so far is true, however on the first page i referenced, putting a containing div around the 3 columns made no apparent difference. I'm going to start double checking my code and comparing the two pages for differences to see what I'm doing wrong (on both pages though, the goal is to have a number of divs centered vertically, side by side). If anyone has any comments or hints to help me out that'd be great, but I'll definatley be posting back later with an update once I get a chance to try a few more things. Hi folks, I have a table and in one cell I have two images that normally appear side by side but when an a adjacent cell (or any cell in the same row) gets too large the images end up appearing on top of one another... is there some way to force them to stay side by side? I'd rather not have a table within the cell in question although i suppose i could if there's not some html or css way to make it work. Thanks in advance, Michael Hi, I'm new to HTML can anybody help me how to place to tables side by side My code looks like this:
