HTML - Lining Up Nav Text W/background Image
http://tbsnyder.com/site/
I have a simple nav background image setup and I tried lining the text up which works perfectly on my Mac browsers (safari and firefox), but when I opened the site up on my Windows machine, I got this: http://tbsnyder.com/site/difference.png Two differences: the text has more weight on the Mac browsers and it doesn't line up correctly in the PC browsers. Anyone understand why this is? I'm just using a standard font family (arial, helvetica, sans-serif) - why would they appear different between Macs/PCs? Am I setting this up incorrectly in css? CSS: Code: .homeBtn { padding: 0px 12px 0px 0px; } .theSystemBtn { padding: 0px 12px 0px 0px; } .workoutsBtn { padding: 0px 11px 0px 0px; } The html is just an unordered list as you can see from the source. I like the look of the heavier weighted text if I can keep it like that. I would really appreciate any kind of knowledge or assistance in the issue of correctly matching text to background images in a nav bar. Similar TutorialsThese image icons are to the left of the corresponding text. The text, lines up on the same line as the image. When viewed, because they line up on the same line, the image is next to the text and bigger than the text (see attached image). How can I line the text up next to the middle of the image rather than how it lines up now, which is next to the bottom of the image? thanks Code: <font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="3"><IMG src="/images/hphone.gif"> <a href="?action=login"> Home</a><br><br> <IMG src="/images/hphone1.gif"><a href="?action=register"> Register</a><br><br> <IMG src="/images/hphone2.gif"> <a href="?action=faq"> FAQ</a><br><br> <IMG src="/images/hphone3.gif"> <a href="? action=terms"> Terms Of Use</a><br><br> <IMG src="/images/hphone4.gif"> <a href="?action=contact"> Contact Us</a><br><br> <IMG src="/images/hphone5.gif"><a href="?action=forgotpass"> Forgot Password</a><br><br> <IMG src="/images/hphone6.gif"><a href="?action=forgotusername"> Forgot Username</a><br></font> Hi I am new here. I play an online game that involves layouts. I had someone make me a layout (here is link: <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/raindrop/Layouts/acreswestlayoutcopy.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/rain...tlayoutcopy.jpg</a>) for the site. In this the blue text box above the horse, when you go to write, you can put text in it. How is that possible. I am trying to make my own, so how do you line it up, that when you type, it goes into that box? Please let me know. Thanks! -AW- Can someone please help me out. I created a website and in one of the divs the image is going out of place. This image is placed over a larger image. the code for that div is HTML Code: <div id="bottom_blockl"> <h1>What's hot right now?</h1> <div class="c18"> {% for b in beasts %} <div class="bottom_item"> <img src="{{b.image_url}}" height="40" width="40" class="c14" /> <span class="c20">{{b.name}} found a level {{b.level}} </span> <span class="c16">{{b.race}}</span> <div class="c17"> <div class="att">Att:{{b.attack}}</div> <br /> <div class="def">Def:{{b.defense}}</div> </div> </div></div> </div> div.c18 {width:500px;height:300px;overflow:hidden;} div.c17 {float:right; width:61px;margin-right:15px;margin-top:-24px;} span.c16 {color:#fc2c1a} img.c14 {float:left;} span.c20{margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto;} .bottom_item{ float:none; clear:both; background-image:url(img/bottom-item-box.png); height:86px; font-size:20px; color:#4c4c4c; Hi All, This is probably a basic question to ask but for some reason i cant seem to figure it out, Basically what you can see below is a table width="850" and then another table inside that table with a width="425" as you can see i have set 4 back ground images which look perfect my problem is im trying to put wording over them images....i can get wording on the images but they wont go in the relevant position, i.e align="top" they align at the bottom! iv tried everything i can possibly think off.... HTML Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="850"> <tr> <td> <table width="425" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left"> <tr> <td height="163" style="background-image: url(/images/box1.png); background-position: left; background-repeat: no-repeat"> <a href="/html/ExistingCustomers.aspx">APPLY HERE</a> </td> <td height="163" style="background-image: url(/images/box3.png); background-position: left; background-repeat: no-repeat"> <a href="/html/ExistingCustomers.aspx">APPLY HERE</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="163" style="background-image: url(/images/box2.png); background-position: left; background-repeat: no-repeat"> <a href="/html/ExistingCustomers.aspx">APPLY HERE</a> </td> <td height="163" style="background-image: url(/images/box4.png); background-position: left; background-repeat: no-repeat"> <a href="/html/ExistingCustomers.aspx">APPLY HERE</a> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15px"> </tr> </table> If some one can tell me how to do it this i would highly appreciate it, iv tried adding this HTML Code: <tr> <td height="163" style="background-image: url(/images/box1.png); background-position: left; background-repeat: no-repeat" class="WhiteSmall" valign="top"><b>Apply Now></b> </td> </tr> So it aligns it at the top but still i need it in the top middle..... if there a way of saying Valign="top middle" ??? as im aware you can use background-position: left top maybe you can do the same for valign? Hope some one can help me thanks for reading and look forward to hearing from you Okay I am very new to website design, I currently am in the progress of a php site and it is definitely looking better fast the more I learn. My question is simply that I created a css style that just uses a background image hosted on my website. thats all...and I attached the CSS style to bodies of text in my web page, the problem being, that they are long lines across the whole screen of JUST that line. What I am asking for help with is creating a large BOX of my image (of any height/width) and throw text in it. Take a look at my site for the moment so you know exactly what I mean. Konnection Films Again, I want to take those short brown lines and make them the length of the text, and mesh them together vertically so line breaks don't break the image. If you don't know what I mean just let me know! Thanks so much in advance! P.S. For some reason my "Ctrl" key is not working in Dreamweaver but everywhere else, is this some stupid setting or my computer just bugged? Hi, I want to fade/dissolved text that is on top of an image. The problem with many dhtml and javascript is that they simply change the color of the text to make it look like the text has disappeared. This works if we are using a single background colour. However, with images, this will not work. Is there a way I can make the text disappear from an image using dhtml/javascript? Hi All This is my first post so i hope I provide all the info you need, to be able to help. I am working inside Macromedia UltraDev as this is waht I was taught with over a decade ago.

For example, I don`t how to explain it , but I see sites with the navigation bar image or the content image to adapt its size according to the amount of text on them. And then it seems like they are infinite, again, it adapts to the isze of the page. But my background image stays the same size all the time and I can see the end of it. I know I didn`t explain it very well but I don`t know exactly what I need to do this so, if someone could help me, thanks a lot. 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? Hello, I'm trying to line up some tables unsuccessfully. What I'm trying to do is create a page with tables of 45% width which are staggered. In other words, I'd have one table in the normal upper-left portion, but the next table would begin about 100px below that one vertically, aligned to the right. The third table would be about 100px below the first, the fourth about 100px below the second (again right-aligned), and so on - staggerd in a zig-zag pattern. I can't achieve anything close to my desired effect. In fact, one of my tables isn't even aligning to the right side of the page! I have overlap, and just many problems. I'd appreciate any help. Me again! One more question: If you look at: http://www.studio209.com/stumptown_e...youritems.html The words and the form fields are not lining up (we've tried everything: "align=top, middle, bottom"... etc.) But, here's another site we did a few months ago: http://www.brownprn.com/requestestimate.htm and they line up!! How did we do it?? Help!! I'm having some trouble with the two scrolls. How do I align them to match up to the picture? This is my code: HTML Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="700" height="700" background="http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/220/noridfg4.jpg"> <tr> <td width="36"></td> <td width="354" valign="bottom"> <div style="overflow: auto; height: 398px; width: 290px; padding: 0px; border: 1px black solid"> </div> </td> <td valign="bottom"> <div style="overflow: auto; height: 292px; width: 220px; padding: 0px; border: 1px black solid; margin-left: auto;"> Write text here </div> </td></tr><tr> <td height="80"></td> <td></td><td></td></tr></td></tr></table> im ne to html and css, im going to be redoing some sites and just playing around ith some things, can someone give me a quick fix for this: http://lilions.com/testnew/ Im trying to line up this backound with the banner its lines up in IE but not fixfox Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <html> <body background ="http://lilions.com/home/images/bbck.jpg"> <center><div style="text-align:center; width:1000px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;"> <img id="Image-Maps_5201103220251287" src="http://lilions.com/home/images/newban.jpg" usemap="#Image- Maps_5201103220251287" border="0" width="1000" height="500" alt="" /> <map id="_Image-Maps_5201103220251287" name="Image-Maps_5201103220251287"> <area shape="rect" coords="8,433,70,460" href="http://lilions.com/home/" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="73,433,135,460" href="http://lilions.com/news/" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="145,433,212,460" href="http://lilions.com/roster" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="227,434,360,461" href="http://lilions.com/coachingstaff" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="373,435,482,462" href="http://lilions.com/frontoffice" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="500,434,578,461" href="http://lilions.com/schedule" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="593,433,683,460" href="http://lilions.com/standings" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="697,434,784,461" href="http://lilions.com/statistics" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="798,434,872,461" href="http://lilions.com/history" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="889,433,974,460" href="http://lilions.com/fieldinfo" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="15,467,84,494" href="http://lilions.com/fanzone" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="104,466,179,493" href="http://lilions.com/gallery" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="199,467,269,494" href="http://lilions.com/tickets" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="287,468,372,495" href="http://lilions.com/calander" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="386,467,498,494" href="http://lilions.com/sponsorship" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="519,468,632,495" href="http://lilions.com/applications" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="654,466,745,493" href="http://lilions.com/contact" alt="" title="" /> <area shape="rect" coords="763,466,982,493" href="http://fivestarfootballleague.com/" alt="" title="" /> </map></div></center> </body> </center> </html> Hi everyone.

Here's my code: Code: <table valign='top' align="right" cellpadding="0" width="100%" height="80%"> <table style="background-color:#ffffff; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; width:100% height:80%> <table width="770" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="maintable" align="center"> <link href="custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <tr><td id="menu" align="left"> <img src="images/bullet.gif" alt="" width="10" height="10"><a href="index.php"><font color="#DDCEA2"><font face="Arial" size="2">Home</a></font><br> <img src="images/bullet.gif" alt="" width="10" height="10"><A href='index.php?command=signup_page'><font color="DDCEA2"><font face="Arial" size="2">Sign Up</font></A><br /> <img src="images/bullet.gif" alt="" width="10" height="10"><a href="faq.html"><font color="DDCEA2"><font face="Arial" size="2">FAQ</a><br> <img src="images/bullet.gif" alt="" width="10" height="10"><a href="legal.html"><font color="DDCEA2"><font face="Arial" size="2">Terms of Use</a><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> </tr> <form method="POST" action="index.php"> <input class='field' type='hidden' name='command' value='account'> <input class='field' type='hidden' name='param' value='renew'> <input class='field' type='hidden' name='account_id' value='[account_id]'> <td colspan='2' class='pageTitle'><div class='hLine'><font face="Arial" color="#EE7600" size="3"> Choose a Transaction</font></div></tr></td> <tr><td class='fieldLabel' width="30%"><font face="Arial" color=#000000" size="3" Style="padding: 5px;"> <font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2"> Transaction Type:</font></td> <td align="left"><font face="Arial" color="#EE7600" size="2">[account_type_panel]</font></tr> <tr> <tr><td> </td></tr> <tr><td align="left"> </td> <td align="left"><input name="submit" type='submit' class='button' value='Next' /> </td> </tr> </form> <tr height='30%' ><td colspan="2"><div class='hLine'> </div></td></tr> </table> here is the (ineffective) code currently: <img style="float: left; width: 169px; height: 73px;" src="img/logo1.png" alt="" /> <h1 style="text-align: center;">random text</h1> the image shifts the left margin such that the text is centered as though the page width was 169px less than it really is. i'm not debating the code itself; the code above behaves as its meant to. aka no surprises. i just cant figure out the appropriate code to center the text across the entire real width of the page as though there was no image. i've tried div tags & all the things google hunting advised. no luck. other than finding this forum, which seems like it'll be a boon! thanx in advance for advise/comments/feedback/help. <tr> <td> <img id="site_04" src="images/site_04.gif" width="781" height="237" alt="" /></td> </tr> I have this code and I want to transform that image on a background on that space, HELP ME PLEASE! Hello, I am very new to web design, in fact I've only been doing any html since about december. I have my site up and running and for what it is I am pretty proud of it. I am having one problem though. My background is a tiled image, it uses black, white, and greyscale to create the image. Since it is mostly black the text on my site is white. However even with that contrast it is still hard to read. I have decided I would like to add a black backdrop behind the text on the site. I would like the backdrop to stay only around the text and as close to the text's edge as possible. The only way I have found to do this however is to make a jpeg of the text with the black behind it and then place the image on the page. Is there any way to put a layer of black behind the text? I know very little html and nothing else yet. Any help would be useful. Thanks, Questionmark P.S. If you want to get an idea of what I am trying to do with the text go to http://www.questionmarkdesigns.com/Pages/Home.html The text in the lower right frame is the jpeg image I made. It shows what I would like to do with the text on the site. I am hoping there is a way to code it so I don't have to make a bunch of images. I'm trying to build a website in frames and am currently just putting together some test stuff for it. I'm trying to build a background, but when I place the separate parts of the overal image, there is spacing between the frames in places I don't want it; for example, the image in the left frame is significantly below the top frame, and there is a gap between it and the center frame. How can I fix this? I have frameborders set to 0, 0 framespacing, 0 margin width and height, and no borders present. Any help would be appreciated. There are 2 images below, to help explain what I mean. The first is how the top and left frames look, and the second is how the overall thing should appear. |
