HTML - Problems With Background
Hello!
I'm working on a website for my band, but I don't know HTML so I downloaded a free template. My problem is that when I try to upload the site the text doesn't get inside the space in the background that's meant for the text. The text is black, just like the background. Do I have to <font> all the text or is there another way to get the text white? There is a background for every headline on the site, but I don't know what I should do 'cause know they're just not there. I'm sorry if I'm not making myself clear. I'm not very good at english and I don't know how much you'll understand of it or if you need to see the template or anything. If you do understand what I need help with, please post your answer asap Similar TutorialsHey, I've recently set up a small e-bay business, and have had a few problems in designing the listings. Mainly with this one; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE:IT&ih=019 I want to replace the solid blue colour that's running around and between the tables with a tiled image, but after two hours of failed trial and error, I have no idea what to change in the HTML without putting a background image on the whole page. It's soo frustrating, Can anyone please help? Thank you, Jeremy Hey everyone, im new to this site and am hoping that someone on here can help me with this small but annoying problem I have been having. I am designing my first java script site for a friend, and am really happy with the design. However when the site is viewed in Internet Explorer the background image for the header lock onto the page instead of aligning to middle. See it for yourself here. I dont want to have to redesign the layout, but im not happy with leaving that problem as it looks really unprofessional for a business site. I am relatively new to this, but am a quick learner, just hoping someone can help push me in the right direction. Thanks for any help you can offer. Josh this is my page http://web.vtc.edu/users/cjb06271/CI...nal/order.html there are several things I would like to happen. 1. the right collumn background to be where the right collumn should be(so other links in navbar) 2.The test between the roach pictures to be alligned with the top rather than bottom of pictures (so smaller windows can see) 3. When you size the window smaller than the text, a scroll bar appears, and when you scroll the background no longer exists. If I put it on auto the background will only go as far as the text does. 4. (nice but not required)The cocroachs to be alligned to the left and right of the top bar respectively, and the text in the middle. 5. (nice but not required) the right column background image is being cut in half (as does the top one if you size small enough). any way to make the images ignore the collumns? don't worry about the colors I will be changing them soon 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? Hi everyone I hope some of you pros can help me out here? When you go to my site www.iMaciForums.com with IE 6 the text is all misaligned, I had the same problem with IE 7 & but I fixed that its just IE6 now. So could you take a look and let me know whats wrong with it, because it's driving me crazy Thanks. take a look at this and can anyone tell be why it does this in ie it look fine in firefox and safari http://nathanoconnor.co.uk/kartingchampionships/site/ thanks here is where my problem is. In ie the hover effect does not work, but in firefox it does! help. Hi everyone, I recently landed myself a job as a web manager. It's been a long time since I done it however, as I've had children to bring up and so on - i'm a bit rusty but getting through it okay. I've hit a snag however and I'm wondering if anyone can help me... The website i'm charged with watching over works completely fine bar one problem, and its not even a big problem - just a bit annoying. One of the images, when opened in Chrome, floats to the left when it is supposed to be central. This is the only image to do this on the website in any browser. Has anyone got any tips for me? Let me state my problem. Under my links which is under the banner, it says My Tickets, and User it seems in Internet Explorer it shows an extra 2px border on the bottom. Something to do with the height I assume. Now in firefox there is a 10px gap in between the Ticket Deck banner and the Links Bar. Also I can't keep to get the copyright centered for some reason :s .

First off, just so you know - i know near enough nothing about HTML I am busy designing my site and i cant go much further as there is one issue really bugging me. My website is vBulletin (yes i know its PHP) and im using another script called vBadvanced CMPS (a portal mosification). I have tried to add a navigation bar to the left of my forums and it works! Only problem is, it really breaks up the forum. Take a look for yourself Link Notice the way its all broken up at the bottom? Anyway, i posted my problem on both the vBulletin & vBadvanced websites without much luck. One of the admins told me that i needed to get some errors fixed (all 109 of them)... I managed to narrow the errors down to 67 all in all. Here I really am stuck guys and im sure these errors will be relatively easy to fix for someone who has experience with HTML/PHP. if anybody needs me to i can paste the vBulletin templates that are causing the problems Any help would be great. Thanks OK, so, this is realy starting to bug me, i have spent an hour maby 2 on this but nothing has worked, the problem is that i want an inner LEFT side bar and a RIGHT side content box inside a box on the right, if you dont get what i mean, the website is http://brett.unixpod.com/test/index.html And the CSS stylesheet http://brett.unixpod.com/test/css/home.css ok, the text and stuff that is circled in white, i want moved up so that it is aligned with the text on the left, I want the stuff in the circle moved to the top of the big box its in, falong with that little box of text I WANT THE STUFF IN THE CIRCLE MOVED TO THE TOP OF THE BIG BOX ITS IN, ALONG WITH THAT LITTLE BOX OF TEXT My OS is windows 7 64bit and have installed: - internet explorer 9 - Mozilla Firefox - Google Chrome My website is getting displayed correctly on Firefox and Chrome but is a bit of a mess on IE9 If you could have a look and let me know if there is anything I could do, would be much appreciated. Here is one page of my site that is bothering me: http://www.dashony.com/Solar%20panel...0projects.html Please check out the white menu, ( SpryMenuBarVertical ) using IE and one of the other 2.
