HTML - Simple Page Background Issue
Hello World! (Where did that tradition start anyways?)
Yes, I am fairly new at web design, and am using the method of "search-Google-whenever-you-have-a-problem-as-you-go" to learn HTML. I am pretty happy with the results I am getting in Dreamweaver, but there is one nagging thing that is throwing a kink into my designs. I have the majority of the content that is unique to each page within a table cell (<td>). Since I wanted to have the background color of the cell match exactly to an image that tops off the page body, I decided to have the background be one pixel of that color that repeats across the whole table cell. Originally, I just defined the background in the starting tag using "style=" then specifying the background. (Dreamweaver made sure I had it right using its Code Hinting). The background shows up perfectly when in the Dreamweaver editing view, but when looking at the page in any other view (Live view, preview in browser, etc.), the background of that cell is just white. I tried defining the background with a CSS ID, which has worked on other parts of the page, but no beans. What am I doing wrong? Is the fact it is only one pixel that has to repeat an issue? Here is the code: <td width="100%" height="103" colspan="8" align="center" id="page_background_beige" style="border-left-style: none; border-left-width: medium; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: medium; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: medium;"> <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="Body" --> //In here goes all of the content of the page <!-- TemplateEndEditable --></td> The CSS: #page_background_beige { background-image: url(Background_Pixel.png); background-repeat: repeat; } Thanks, Wookieguy (Heh, I know tables are a fairly sloppy way to do things, but this is a fairly simple site anyways.) Similar TutorialsHi All, I have just started my first page and there is a little problem with it that is driving me nuts. Basically, Im trying to make a simple page where the content is centered and there are two background columns on the right and left: we see these pages everywhere. Here is the code (pseudo) I am trying <body> <centered content> <body_divis> <pic> insert picture (top left) <pic> </body_div> </centered content> <body> now im using a css file in which we have: <centetred content> : fix width (1000px), auto left and right margin, gray background. <body_div>: white background. <pic>: 0 margins. So far so good, I get the desired effect: white page in the middle, two side columns in gray. All of this starts at the very top of the page. Now I just want to move the picture slighlty down. As soon as I do that the whole white centered section moves down with it, creating a horizental gray bar on top of the page that is driving me nuts.... it seems that the white section starts where the first object is placed. I just want it to start at the top and then plance my objects wherever. All margins are good in my code as I have checked and rechecked. I appreciate any help. Thanks, Kakeez I've made an incredibly simple html page as an active desktop for a gpo policy, however there's been an uproar about colours so I thought I'd give it a stab to have a drop-down box to select from a range of colours for the body style tag. Any suggestions? <html> <head> <!--808080--> <title>ArchitenBG</title> <STYLE type="text/css"> body { background-color:#3A6EA5; } #div1 { position: absolute; size: 50%; bottom: 0px; right: 0px;} </STYLE> </head> <body> <div id="div1"><img src="Talbg.png" /></div> </body> </html> I'm not good at writing HTML code, but I'm sure this is a simple problem. I have one background image on top repeating horizontally but would like another that shows up below it... basically one that repeats both horizontally and vertically but doesn't cover up the previous code. My second background is called: backtexture.PNG If you could modify the code I have, I'd GREATLY appreciate it... and THANK YOU in advance! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <img src="back.PNG"> <style><body marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"> <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <!-- BODY {margin: 0} ---> <style> html { overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: auto; } </style> <style type="text/css"> body { background-image: url("backtp.PNG"); background-position:Top Center; background-attachment:scroll; background-repeat:repeat-x; } </style> i want to know if i can make the background of this applet transparent to see the body background instead of a color <body background ="image.jpg" >(this is what i want to see and just the text of the applet if it is possible ) <p ALIGN="LEFT"> <applet CODE="starmenu.class" WIDTH="240" HEIGHT="1000"> <param name="demicron" value="www.demicron.se"> <param name="reg" value="A00037"> <param name="displace" value="1"> <param name="background" value="000000"> <param name="foreground" value="0000ff"> <param name="shadow" value="ff0000"> <param name="target" value="newbrow"> <param name="horizontal" value="Yes"> <param name="font" value="arial"> <param name="fontsize" value="20"> <param name="italic" value="Yes"> <param name="bold" value="Yes"> <param name="item0" value="blablabla"> <param name="url0" value="http://ep.html"> <param name="item1" value="blablabla"> <param name="url1" value="blablabla.html"> <param name="item2" value="blablabla"> <param name="url2" value="http://blablablal"> <param name="item3" value="Email"> <param name="url3" value="mailto:.com"> </applet> </p> ps: i took this from javafile.....not mine Thanks guys! This should be a pretty easy one, I think that I've just been staring at this for too long. The question is, why is the first row in this table so tall?

Okay I have a table that has two rows and eight columns. I want to make a third row with only ONE column so that the third row is the length of the table. How do I go about doing that? hi, i tried looking through forums but couldnt find an answer. i hope u can please help! i have a photography ad up on a site that i use html for, its simply a block of code hosting a list/tall page of pics, one line/pic goes like this... <img src="http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/3126/img7899small.jpg"><br> the other lines in the text are the same code. problem is they all try to load up simultaneously causing a slow ad to see anything, potentially losing observers attention span. do u know if theres some code i can add to each line so each pic loads up fully before the next one begins to load and this starts at the top? this will help keep attention due to somin at the top loading straight away, thanks! I have a simple 2 column 2 row table that looks like the code below. I want to expand cell 2's height without expanding cell 1's height. I need this to be dynamic due to different users seeing different heights in cell 2. Cell 3's height can change all it wants to...I just dont want cell 1's height to change!! <html> <head> <title>Height Issue</title> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td width="100px" height="100px"style="background-color: ##00FF00">cell 1</td> <td rowspan="2" width ="100px" height="200px"style="background-color: #00FFFF">Cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td width ="100px"height="100px"style="background-color: #FFFF00">Cell 3</td> </table> </body> </html> Hi all, I want to have 2 images as backgrounds but have one on top of the other. Is this possible? If so how would I do it / what is the code? Cheers Raggy 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 i was going to try to get my background to stretch but im running into too many issues with it, im wondering if any1 can help me get a background image start at top:150 left:280 here is what i tried so far with no luck:: <body background= image.gif position:absolute; top:150; left;150> doesnt work... so i tried setting up a div to call this into play... <style type="text/css"> #bg {position:relative; top:150; left:150;} </style> <div id="bg"> <body background ="background.gif"> </div> i also tried calling it with out a div threw the body and if i remember the image showed correctly but this time my page started over 150 x 150 px maby the image was just set as background tiled and wasnt even in the right spot i really dont know if any1 can please help me with this issue i would greatly appreciate the help thank you I know IE7 sucks but i need my website to be viewable in it. First look at my site in Firefox, then IE7 if you have it. The menu shows up properly in firefox, but not in IF7. Any ideas how to make IE7 show the menu properly? Thanks link: http://www.dynamitedave.com/redesign/index_1.html hey forum. first timer here with what i think should be a simple fix...but i'm frustrated and out of patience. can anyone tell me why i can't get rid of the blank space above "bedrooms" in the left column here? http://jimbwayne.com/kdtest/interiordesign.html same issue with the middle column, actually. i'm stumped. any intel would be much appreciated. thanks in advance. jim Hello HTMLforums.com community! I am doing some minor web design for an NPO (non-profit organization) in my community. There are some pages that exhibit this strange spacing between the headers and body as you will see on the following pages: http://www.gadshillcenter.org/progra...grams_main.php http://www.gadshillcenter.org/progra...enservices.php http://www.gadshillcenter.org/progra...connection.php This same thing happens with all other program_??.php pages. However, it does not happen on the following, seemingly identical templates: http://gadshillcenter.org/report/report_main.php http://gadshillcenter.org/newsevents...herreading.php http://gadshillcenter.org/newsevents...blications.php There doesn't seem to be borders on any of the pictures, so I see no reason for the indent that pushed the picture and top-left edge down one row. I use Microsoft Office Sharepoint Designer 2007. If you would like to view the code for any pages, just ask! Any ideas why? I could ENTIRELY reformat the pages, put them into tables and what-not, but that would take a while. Is there any way around this? Thank you all! Sincerely, Andrew I have a Very simple page laid out using <div>'s and at the bottom, IE6 is displaying some of my text (a text link) twice, and wrapping it to the next line? ANY help at all would be a life saver. http://www.jhilgert.com/em/index.html thanks in advance for any help. Hello. I have an HTML website image background that I am trying to stretch across any screen resolution, while keeping the image "fixed" in one position, so the image does not shrink when the screen window is modified. I got everything to work correctly, however I cannot get the image to stay at a "fixed size" when I shrink the window. Can somebody please help me? I am a beginner programmer, but I have tried numerous processes before resorting to this forum. Here is my code...in case you want to preview it in a web browser. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me to get the image to stay "fixed" and also to keep it stretched across the entire screen.

Greetings, This is my first post... I'm a novice web developer and pro drummer running www.ProMusicTeachers.com. The site is php/mysql, we have a search function smack in the middle of the index page that is set up as a <table>. The table should have a background image... this is the code I'm using is <table border="0" bgcolor="#FF9900" background="/images/searchgraphic.jpg" align="center" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="0" width="617"> to create the table, then comes the form. However, the background image shows up only in Safari, but not IE or Firefox. This seems like a very simple tag... and I swear last night it showed up in Firefox too but this morning will not. Any suggestions? Much thanks, Brian Hi, Background: I have a small page that need to be embeded into a bounch of other html pages. Help needed: 1. Please provide the html chunk that I can use to embed the small page in to other html pages. 2. Is there a way of not using iframe? Can I use <Object> or <embed>? How? --------------------------- mba colleges in london hospitality management diploma i need to turn a poster into a clickable web page. i want to email a radio station a poster for a band that when clicked anywhere on the poster it links you to a band website... so i have a .jpg and want to embed it to the page. thats easy, but when i email it the graphic is no longer there. all i want to do is mail the .html page , i do want to add the external images along with it. any suggestions ? thx NT I seem to remember creating simple webpages by writing minimal html code and opening either ( I think...) the text file with the browser or changing the text file to a .html file and opening that with a browser. This doesn't seem to work for me anymore... Has something happened with current browsers where they will not display the code as they once did for me? |
