HTML - Background Image? Z-index?
I have a template that I'm trying to customize. It has a left sidebanner div and image.
How do I get text to appear on top of the image? By making the image a background-image in CSS? By specifying z-index? Your help is GREATLY appreciated Similar TutorialsIs 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, 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! ~Serena P.S. is it possible to do mouseovers for certain coordinates on an image map? Hello, Well im trying to make a web page type thing and i was wondering if there is a way to make the background change as if it were an image when you shrink the page down. http://www.legouniverseforums.com/radio.html thats the link. i want the video chat to be on the orange part box and the chat to be in its box but on some computers they go in there boxes but on other computers they dont. Here is how it looks on mine i would like it to look like this on every computer. http://www.legouniverseforums.com/Sc...34.34%20PM.png 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. ~eDee 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 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 Raver910 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) Can somebody give me a full code <div style=""> for putting background images in divs... thanks in advance for you're help!

I'm not too experienced in HTML and I'm having a problem with displaying a background image on this site I'm building.

Hi All, I have a background image centered in the middle of my screen. The problem I have is that when I view the page on 800x600 or 1024x768 the background image bottom appears to be chopped off. The only way that I can get to see the bottom of my image is by forcing my content to the very bottom of the page. I have the following set in my CSS Code: body { background-image:url('image.gif'); background-color: #03174b; background-repeat: no-repeat; overflow:hidden; background-position: center; { and like this for my CSS Code: #h1 { color:#effc1d; position:absolute; left:260px; top:120px; font-family:Helvetica; font-size:17px; } I am a bit of a newbie to your exacting help would be greatfully received! Okay, here's what I've got: two nested tables next to each other, both with two cells in them. The bottom cell on the left table is just a filler, and has a background image to complete the layout of the site -- however, since there's no content in it, it doesn't show up. Giving it a set pixel height makes it show up, but I can't do this, as the content in the other table changes. So, I need this cell (the bottom one on the left) to automatically size itself to whatever the other table is. A height="100%" attribute also doesn't work... Help? Thanks. :] My bg image, isn't placing itself where I want it. I want the image to cover the whole page from top to bottom, but instead I only get my image starting down a ways and then it short. Can anyone help? thanks link to page below added a width and height, but it still repeats instead of one http://www.nomagicneon.com/test.html Basically i have made this site and i am having problems with the nav bar. http://www.srnsf.com As you can see it resizes at certain pages and it looks strange.
