HTML - Background Image Tiling/ Centering??
Hello, all...this is my first time on the site. I am a newb when it comes to HTML etc...I won't lie. I know just about nothing when it comes to websites. I'm a graphic designer, and i created a background for my website
I'm trying to: (A) Stop the tiling of my background image... (B) Center the image I bought some books on HTML and they're pretty good. I don't have any trouble following them. I started reading about STYLE SHEETS and it seems this is the way to go. I've read about EXTERNAL, INTERNAL, INLINE and I would like to use the EXTERNAL method...but I don't know how to: (A) Make a link to my style sheet for the background image to be centered (B) Writing the style sheet, so that it centers and doesn't tile my image... Pllease, any help that you could give me, would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you. http://www.cahoonzcreationz.com Similar TutorialsI have done this before, but forgot exactly how I forced (and I mean FORCED) it to work in both IE and FireFox. I am creating borders. I clearly set the width and height of the divs that contain the border images. corners do not tile, vertical borders do not tile in the x dimension, and horizontal borders do not tile in the y dimension. Or they're not supposed to. To force IE to act right, I have to add overflow:hidden to the style. Everything works except for the horizontal borders, which tile one extra border. Like this: Anyway, would someone please examine this simple code and tell me why it isn't working? By the way... KE is our prefix, B is Border, V is Vertical, H is Horizontal, and C is corner, to help you figure out what the style names are. So, KEBC is a Border Corner which could be top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. I MUST use background images for tiling purposes with the vertical and horizontal borders, so please, no lame answers to the effect: "just embed an <img> instead of using backgrounds..." THat doesn't solve the problem. ...In advance... HTML Code: <html>

I am trying to make a stripe down the left of my page. The tutorial I followed said that if I make my background image at least 1200 then it shouldn't do any extra tiling (on the right). My image is 1200x20 pixels. The left stripe is just great, unfortunately, it is also tiling almost right in the middle of the page (not even on the far right? which I don't want either). What's going on I even tried to make it wider and, interestingly enough, the location of the stripes (the left and the stinkin' one on the right that I don't want) remained but the stripe shrunk! Help! kara I seem to be having trouble. I centered the main image fine but when it comes to centering the background image (http://www.leeryan.fan-sites.org/trylayout/back.png), i can't seem to work out what to do. http://www.leeryan.fan-sites.org/trylayout/header.php If anyone can help me out i would appreciate it...I hope i have posted this in the correct place...This is all the coding i have that seem to be to do with the back.png don't know if that helps, i'm not very good with this sort of thing. Code: <body topmargin=0 leftmargin=0 background="back.png"> I placed an image in the backround of a table on my page. It looks fine on my computer with a square monitor set at 1024x768 pix. When I viewed it on another monitor, a wide screen it displayed about half of my image to the right of where I placed it in the table. Can this be corrected so the image looks correct in all screen resolutions? Here is a link to the page in question. It's the motor in the upper left. The image name is: log2.gif http://cb750sandcastonly.com/new/ Thank You. Hi there, I know nothing formal about HTML, hence the code below being converted from an Open Office file. Hopefully it is readable - it is some declarations, a body with maybe 10 links in it, and then an embedded video code from Exposure Room. I have the alignment how I want it, but the background-black in the body doesn't work any more. Is anyone able to show me how to keep the center alignments I have but also switch the background of the whole page to black? It works if I take out the <center> tags but then everything is left aligned, which I don't like. Any help would be appreciated, cheers, Tony Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

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 everyone.... I'm trying to figure out how to tile right to left with an image inside a <td>. Anyone know how? Right now I'm using the background property but it tiles an image left to right. I need it to tile right to left. Any ideas? Thank you...... I tried every code I could find, but warning, I'm still new to HTML. This is my table code for now. I need the first row image to be centered. When i view it in a browser it is aligned to the left <table style="width: 635px; height: 900px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 600px; height: 600px;" colspan="6"><img alt="" src="breakfast1.JPG" /></td> </tr> <tr style="height: 100px"> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb1.JPG" /></td> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb2.JPG" /></td> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb3.JPG" /></td> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb4.JPG" /></td> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb5.JPG" /></td> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb6.JPG" /></td> </tr> <tr style="height: 100px"> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb7.JPG" /></td> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb8.JPG" /></td> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb9.JPG" /></td> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb10.JPG" /></td> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb11.JPG" /></td> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb12.JPG" /></td> </tr> <tr style="height: 100px"> <td><img alt="" src="bthumb13.JPG" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> I would like to center three button images under an image. In the old day we would put our text into the image and create a two-row table, with the top row having one cell three columns wide and the bottom row having three cells. I have tried making my image with three uls with background images under them, but of course I can't force the full image to show since my content doesn't take up the full space. I am currently putting things in a table, just to make the full image show, but I feel like I'm still doing things old-school. Is there a newer, spiffier way to do this? table { width:780px; font-size:125%; padding:0; overflow:hidden; } td { width:254px; height:60px; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top left; background-image:url(images/navbackground2.png); padding:0 0 0 20px; } Also my images won't justify. The space between the cells seems predetermined no matter what I futz with and there's a space to the right of the last image that I don't want. Finally, is there a way to put all three background statements into one code? (I know that's a CSS question, but I don't want to cross-post.) Elisabeth I have the following HTML: <table id="TextArea1"> <tr> <td valign=top><img src="Images/AllProducts.jpg" alt="All Products" align=center></td> </tr> The image is placed at the top left corner of the table using the: valign=top Then, I want to center the image horizontally within the table using: align=center But, this markup is ignored. I have tried all the values for "align" and: align=right is the only one that works. What do I need to do to get this to work? Thanks. Hi all i have been trying to center a group of four images using html. the code is: PHP Code: <img src="tennis.jpeg"align="center"width="100" height="100" title="Equipment needed for playing tennis." > <img src="snooker.jpeg"align="center" width="100" height="100" title="Snooker table within a snooker club where you play the sport "> <img src="Golf.jpeg" "align="center"width="100" height="100 title="The Famous last hole on the old corse St Andrews"> <img src="Badminton.jpeg"align="center" width="100" height="100" title="Equipment needed for playing Badminton"> some how its not quite right any ideas where im going wrong? TI AV. Gaz. http://www.cubedspacedesigns.com/imagegallery/ This page has a row of scrolling thumbnails along the bottom. Each thumbnail, when clicked on, changes the main image. My problem is that I can't get the main image to centre. The image itself is in a div called #image, and that is inside a container box called #imagebox. For some reason my #image div automatically takes on the width of its parent, #imagebox. What I want it to do is to take on the width of the new image and get centred inside its parent. I'm trying to create a button image in HTML. and I would like the the button to be 100 pixels left of the center of the page and 150 pixels from the top. I need it to work with different resolutions. This is what I tried which doesn't work. <img src="Banner/edv_banner.png" style="position:absoulte; top:130px; center:10;"> What is the best method to center a single (hover over) image link in the absolute center of a browser page? I know there must be something very easy that's going over my head. Is it easiest via CSS, or html? or neither, or both??? here's my code so far Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Hello folks, I'm trying out some different background images sized 800 x 600, but I'm having trouble getting them to center on the page! The graphic is hugging the right hand side of the screen at a low resolution, and is off center, slightly to the right at a higher res. Here is a url to show you what is happening: http://www.magicalwonders.com/test/ The code is very basic: Code: <body bgcolor="#000000"> <div align="center"><img src="images/background.jpg" alt="background" width="800" height="600"> </div> Not sure what I'm missing out? Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks, Myles I created a table and on one side is an image and the other side words. I would like to center the image vertically and horizontally within the <td> tag. Right now the image is on the top of the area it's in This code I'm using now is.... <img src="http://www.elevatingyourbusiness.com/images/6 Step Process201x178.jpg" width="201" height="178" alt="6 Step Process Photo" /> For a better picture of how "lopsided" the picture/words look you can go to www.ElevatingYourBusiness.com It's the graphic under the title starting "World-Class Management " I'm open to any other suggestions you might have that will make this particular area look eye pleasing. Thanks in advance. I have a gradient image I'm trying to use as a background for a <div>, but I'm having a bit of a problem in that I can't get the image to stretch properly to fit the <div>. The thing is the </div> can change size, and the image needs to be able to change size with it. I've managed to get it working to the point where the image will TILE to fit the <div>, but that doesn't create the look I want. I need it to STRETCH, not tile. I have also managed to get the image to stretch to the browser window, but like I already said, it needs to stretch to fit the <div> while ignoring the size of the browser window. Just in case you have trouble visualizing exactly what I'm talking about, I have already uploaded two different versions of the partially finished website at the following URLs: http://www.finalfreak.greatnow.com/neo_index.html http://www.finalfreak.greatnow.com/neo_index2.html Notice how in the second link the gradient continues past the footer to the bottom of the window? That's what I'm trying to fix. What I want is for the image to conform to the size of the <div> like in the first link, but without tiling like the first link. Also, the page currently only works properly in Firefox. I'm planning on fixing it to work right with Internet Explorer as well, but I'd like to get the gradient problem resolved first. I've been trying to get this to work for days now and it's driving me crazy! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hello, I have a question from the sample images that I've illustrated. How can I create a HTML page based on image above? I not good in HTML or CSS. I'm just a gfx designer. Can someone show me some basic code for this. Thanks in advanced. How do I go about centering an image in a table cell so it is centered in both IE and Firefox? Right now, when I use "center" tags, it will be centered in Firefox, but will be up against the left side in IE. Any help is appreciated! Hi All, I need to have a wide (1984px) image centred on the screen. If the screen is only 1024px wide it always aligns left. I am probably missing something basic here but can anyone offer advice? Thankyou. |
