HTML - Sliced Background Image Breaking

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?

Ok so I made a kinda complex layout in photoshop by slicing and I'm using hte code they gave me to put it all together. I've switched the images from being in the table to being the background of the table. Everything seems to work great. But I'm trying to make it so that when I type too much in the body function the body will just roll down and repeat itself and the links on the left side will stay and do nothing. But at the same time I want it so when I get too many links I want the links bar to continue to roll down and repeat itself while the body does nothing. Well right now when the body rolls down there are gaps in every break in images on the links side. I've tried valigning them all to the top and it works on the first one but the 2nd 3rd and 4th image still have gaps between them. Any suggestions?

I created a sliced image / navigation in Fireworks CS5 and implemented it on a page with success. I then attempted to implement the same code to the header of a WordPress theme, giving me some issues. The actions work correctly, but the images are significantly lower, blocking a portion of the remaining page, and not correctly aligned with one another. I checked for conflicts in the CSS, as well as other simple errors, but couldn't really find what the cause was. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I sliced my web layout in PS. So far so good, I've done about 4 or 5 pages and it's gone fairly smoothly. However I'm having trouble with some coding on a particular page.

I want to have a contact form on my contact page. But it's an HTML table and so are the slices. I've tried a couple of different ways to see if I could get it to 'lay' on top of the background image slice, but no luck.

Take a look for yourselves: http://www.beemerphotography.com/contact.html

Code:

<form name="contactform" method="post" action="contact.php">
<table width="450px">
</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top">
  <font color="#FFFFFF"><label for="name">Name</label></font>
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
  <input  type="text" name="name" maxlength="50" size="30">
 </td>
</tr>

<tr>
 <td valign="top">
  <font color="#FFFFFF"><label for="email">Email Address</label></font>
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
  <input  type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" size="30">
 </td>

</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top">
  <font color="#FFFFFF"><label for="telephone">Telephone Number</label></font>
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
  <input  type="text" name="telephone" maxlength="30" size="30">
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top">
  <font color="#FFFFFF"><label for="comments">Comments (Type of session(s): engagement, wedding, family, etc. | Booking date if applicable)</label></font>
 </td>

And I've tried this:
Code:

<table background="http://www.beemerphotography.com/contact/images/info.gif" width="409" height="467">

And also, I have another page that is just not displaying for some reason. I have gone over the code, redone the slicing, redone the coding, and I can't figure it out for the life of me why it isn't displaying anything: http://www.beemerphotography.com/abo...ng/prints.html

Hi,

I'm a complete newb and html-challenged, so please forgive my stupid questions.

This is what I want for the personal website I'm making: a fixed image as the background that covers the entire screen regardless of what screen resolution a user's computer has - this much I've managed with CSS...I think (like this right? http://www.geocities.com/serenamonster/index.htm ) clickable regions on this background image to use for navigation to various parts of the site. Or in other words, the background image as an image map. - this I'm having trouble with, because you have to designate the picture as a set # of pixels in dimension to make an image map right? and if I do that to my background image, then it may display too big or too small depending on the person's screen resolution right?
So does anyone know how I can have clickable regions on my fixed background image without the image being too big for low resolutions or too small for high resolutions? (he http://www.geocities.com/serenamonster/map.html the background image is fixed at 800x400. I want to make each star on the image a hyperlink to a different part of the site). I read somewhere that standard is 800x600 to fill a person's browser right? But on my computer the image only covers about 2/3 of the browser screen which is too small. How can I make it so that it fills 100% of any viewer's screen regardless of resolution? How does it look on your computer? I know these are probably just really stupid questions because I'm missing something really fundamental...but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

P.S. is it possible to do mouseovers for certain coordinates on an image map?

Hi Guys,

Firstly i apologise if this in the wrong section of the forum, please let me know.

My problem:

I have designed a webpage for my DJ services in Photoshop and plan to slice it up.
The first problem is my background. I designed it myself so its not simple. Basically i dont have a clue on how i should export the background from CS5 or how to implement it into my website on dreamweaver cs5.

Also i want to export my images once sliced from Photoshop with a transparent background, how would i do this?


Thanks for any help

i'm trying to set an image from my harddrive as the background but it doesn't seem to be working. I've been trying <body background="image location.jpg"> but it doesn't work. Any thoughts or solutions?

thanks

Hello,
1) I need to know how to make my background image the size of every monitor that will view it in any browser? Any idea? OR at least the size of most monitors

2) Also, how do I make is stick so it doesn't scroll, everything scrolls above it or on it.

If the answer is CSS could you please write out a bit of code for me and tell me where to put it. Pretty please, with sugar on top. I know it sounds lazy, but I use to now CSS can't remember anything now and I'm suffering from short term memory loss which is new for me. I have to relearn everything and remember it - hard to do when you can't remember what you did 5 minutes ago.

Hey everyone.

I'm not too experienced in HTML and I'm having a problem with displaying a background image on this site I'm building. I know this probably isn't the best way to be doing what I'm trying to do, but I'm using a Frameset with 3 columns. The left and right I just want to display the background image and the main to be another frameset containing the main website content. It looks perfectly fine in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer the background images in leftMargin and rightMargin don't show; it's just blank.

Here is my index.html file:
Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>| Totaro's Restaurant |</title>
</head>

<frameset cols="15%, 70%, 15%" border=0>
<frame name="left" src="leftMargin.html" />
<frame name="main" src="main.html" />
<frame name="right" src="rightMargin.html" />
</frameset>
<noframes>
I'm sorry, it seems your browser doesn't support frames! x(
</noframes>
</html>

and here is the code of one of the margins:
Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title></title>
<style>
body {
	background-image:url(images/bg.jpg);
 	background-repeat: repeat;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

Here it is in Firefox: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...itefirefox.jpg

And in IE: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../websiteie.jpg

Any help would be appreciated.

Can somebody give me a full code <div style=""> for putting background images in divs... thanks in advance for you're help!

How would I do this?

This is the current script I am using for background change upon a timer, does anyone know how and where I can add a no bg repeat and position the image on the bottom left?

Any help would be great! Thanks

<script type="text/javascript">

var bgImages = new Array();
bgImages.push("/image/girl.gif");
bgImages.push("/image/girl2.gif");
bgImages.push("/image/girl3.gif");

//bgImages.push("URL HERE");

function LoadRandomBackground()
{
var randomImageIndex = Math.floor(Math.random()*bgImages.length)
document.body.background = bgImages[randomImageIndex];

}

function StartBackgroundRefreshTimer()
{
var timer = setInterval('LoadRandomBackground()',10000); // 10 seconds
}


</script>

</head>

<body onload="LoadRandomBackground(); StartBackgroundRefreshTimer()">

Hey,

I'm wanting to use a larger background image with a height of around 810pixels.

Currently when i implement it, only around half the image appears and there is no scroll bar to use to view the whole image. And currently when i put a css box into it, when i scroll down it will still only show the top section of the image.

Can anyone assist in what code to put into the CSS to allow the scroll bar to appear so i can view the whole background image?

Thanks

(sorry, meant to put this in the CSS section, only just realised)

Hello All,
I hope this is a good place to ask my question. I was working on a a webpage and tinkering with two different screen capturing software to capture my website then all of a sudden I realized I can no longer see the background of my webpage. I can go online and see background images of someone else webpage but no the webpages stored on my computer. If anyone has any idea about the cause of the problem please help.
