Working on a page for a gym (http://purcraft.com/madeinla/the-gym/) and there's supposed to be a background image of the gym on this page. Instead, there's only a slight portion of the image in this div. The rest of black but I've been playing around with it inspector and I can't even locate a background color at all for the div's after this area. So why would I be getting this? Here's my CSS:
body.page-id-30 .site-content { background-image: url(images/bkg-gym.jpg); background-size: cover; }
body.page-id-30 .copy-gym { position: absolute; left: 250px; bottom: 38px; width: 530px; font-family: 'texgyreheroscnregular', sans-serif; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase; }
Start with removing the position:absolute; attribute from the div of class "copy-gym".
I don't know how exactly you'd like the page to look like but I'd suggest you to try using a ready css layout because it seems that you use too much divs for a very simple layout.

I have a background image of a paper airplane on the body tag of this page: http://cogo.goodfolk.co.nz. The very tip of it is being cut off - if you resize the browser window the full image pops back in.
It's only happening in Chrome, and isn't consistent, if you refresh sometimes, or even hover over sometimes it's fine. If I remove all the background styles (background position and no-repeat) then the whole image is there - but of course isn't positioned correctly. It's also happening on other pages of my website (eg http://cogo.goodfolk.co.nz/online-surveying).
After days of debugging/searching I can't find anything that refers to this issue and/or fixes it - is it possibly a Chrome bug with background-position?
Any ideas or workarounds? Thank you!
//EDITED//
The relevant code is pasted below, although obviously this is pretty standard so it must be something else in the site that's causing the problem:
.home {
background: url("../img/airplane.jpg") no-repeat center;
background-size: 70%;
background-position: 10% 98%;
}
The background image is set to center, so this is expected behaviour, depending on window size. You could change this CSS declaration from:
.home {
background: url("../img/airplane.jpg") no-repeat center;
background-size: 70%;
}
To:
.home {
background: url("../img/airplane.jpg") no-repeat center top;
background-size: 70%;
}
This would anchor the image to the top of the screen, meaning it would not clip, but this may not be the behaviour you are looking for.
To complicate matters, you also have this, which is probably contributing to the problem. I would suggest removing it entirely:
#media (min-width: 1200px)
.home {
background-position: 20% -10%;
}
Yay thanks to everyone who left suggestions, fortunately I've figured out a workaround! I managed to pretty much keep the background styles the same, and just placed everything in a :before pseudo element on the body tag. You can check out the updated code at cogo.goodfolk.co.nz if you're interested, or it's pasted here:
.home {
position: relative;
min-height: 860px;
}
.home:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: url("../img/airplane.jpg") no-repeat center;
background-size: 70%;
background-position: 50% 15%;
}
Set the display to "inline-table".
I'm building a website for our church and I'm using joomla 2.5 to do so. The template i used was wsnone2. I know a bit of code but not a lot i've tried to play around to sort out this issue but i cant seem to do it. Basically when there is very few lines of text as here http://www.smass2.co.uk/index.php/en/hymns/annual/deacon-responses/liturgies the footer comes up and covers the space. How do i stop that without making the position fixed. i tried using ryanfait sticky footer, and several others, but that didnt seem to work. can anyone people provide me with any more suggestions? if possible could the solution be done through CSS?
Thanks.
Actually, this is going to be harder than it looks at first glance. You have a couple things working against you here. First, your footer is actually contained in 2 divs, region9wrap and region10wrap. Doing as #gartox suggests will only move part of the footer to the bottom of the page. You would also need to do the same for the other part. To do so you would need this CCS -
.region9wrap {
color: #999;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
bottom: 30px; /* height of div below*/
width: 100%;
}
.region10wrap {
color: #999;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
}
That will move both parts of the footer down, but now you will have a huge dark stripe where your background does not extend to the footer. Now you have to fix the background. First you need to remove the background from region4wrap completely.
Then add the background to the body tag -
body {
background: url('http://www.smass2.co.uk/images/Cross.jpg') no-repeat #0D0D0D;
}
This will make the background extend all the way down to the footer of the page without causing a big dark stripe.
You need do this:
In the class .region10wrap add this properties:values
.region10wrap
color: #999;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
height: 30px; /* your height footer*/
width: 100%;
}
Easiest way to do this is to have the footers background on the actual page (behind the whole site), so when the footer can't reach the bottom, it will look like it's stretching all the way down.
I've gone through CSS validation (which did find some pesky unclosed tags, sorted now).
I'm trying to align an image to the top right side of my page, with title text on the top left.
I can do this, but when I resize the browser window the image always wants to overlap the title text before either of them resize. If I remove the margins that I've used to place the image then the image sits under the title text (and to the right) instead of just to the right of it, but I feel removing this (while keeping the positioning) might be key. I do need the image to be overlapped by some other elements though.
Here's a snippet of my code for the image:
img#site-logo {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
clear: both;
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
margin: -12.87em 2em -16em 0px;
}
And for the site title:
#site-title a {
font-size: 4.875em;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 78px;
padding: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}

There are surely several different approaches to solve your problem.
But in my eyes it would be the best solution to set a min-width for your #page element.
#page{
min-width:900px;
}
I have played a little bit around with the width and think a min-width of 900 px fits best in your case.
Hey guys I simply cannot get this to work.
I have some content that is centred on the page using the margin: auto; "trick".
In this content I have an image. I need to make a color bar coming under the image continuing out to the sides of the browser. On the right side I need it to look like its coming up onto the image.
I have made this picture to try an graphically show what I mean: image
As you can see the bar runs from the left to the right side of the browser. The centred image is just placed on top of it and then an image positioned on the top of the image. But I haven't been able to get this working. Any one who would give it a go?
I tried positioning the bar relative and z-index low. This worked but the bar keep jumping around in IE 7-8-9. Centring the image wasn't easy either and placing that smaller image on top was even harder. It wouldn't follow the browser if you resized it. The problem here is that the user have to be able to upload a new picture so I cant just make a static image.
Please help I am really lost here
EDIT:
Tried the example below but when I run the site in IE 7-8-9 I have different results. link
I have made a jsFiddle which should work in Chrome and IE7-9: http://jsfiddle.net/7gaE9/
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="bar1"></div>
<img src="http://placekitten.com/200/300"/>
<div id="bar2"></div>
</div>
CSS
#container{
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: red;
text-align: center;
position: relative;
}
#bar1{
background-color: blue;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
right: 0;
z-index: 1;
height: 30px;
width: 40%;
}
#bar2{
background-color: blue;
top: 50%;
left: 0;
z-index: 3;
height: 30px;
width: 40%;
position: absolute;
}
img{
text-align: center;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}
The key here is that the container is positioned relative, thus enabling absolute positioning of the child elements in relation to their parent. Use z-index to control how the elements are stacked.
A method I use for centering anything with css is:
.yourclass {
width:500px;
position:absolute;
margin-left:50%;
left:-250px;
}
'left' must be have of your width and then make it negative.
To date I have not experienced any problems with this.
Here's the HTML I'm trying to use:
<h1>Order Not Paid<span class="not-paid"></span></h1>
Of course if there is a better way please say so.
Currently since there is no text inside of the span, it seems the browsers are ignoring this tag. Firebug shows up grayed out when inspecting.
When I place text in the span, the icon shows correctly.
What CSS rule can I apply for this effect? Here's what I have so far (It's SASS, but easy to grasp):
h1 {
font-size: 24px;
span.not-paid {
background-image: url('/Public/images/remove.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
}
I'd like the icon to appear where the span is.
Alternatively, is it kosher to do something like this? If so, I can settle with this as it looks good on IE8 and modern browsers.
<h1>Order Not Paid <img src="#Url.Content("~/Public/images/remove.png")" alt="" /></h1>
If the icon is small and not reused anywhere else just set it as part of the h1.
HTML:
<h1 class="not-paid">Order Not Paid</h1>
CSS:
h1.not-paid {
font-size: 24px;
padding:0 16px 0 0; /* whatever the dimensions the image needs */
background-image: url('/Public/images/remove.png') no-repeat right center; /* Position left/right/whatever */
}
A little cleaner this way.
the background image is not showing up because the span has no width, and therefore is not showing any of the background.
also, the snippet you gave is not valid css.
try something like this, assuming the image is 16px by 16px:
h1 {
font-size: 24px;
}
span.not-paid {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
height: 16px;
width: 16px;
background-image: url('/Public/images/remove.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
The display: inline-block; is to make it so the width will apply. The vertical-align is to center the image on the middle of the line.
All of that said, the <img> tag solution would work too, but it doesn't scale well to a lot of similar images. The css-based solution makes it easier to switch to something like css spriting later.
In either case, you'll probably want to change your direct image urls to relative urls before expecting this page to work in a production environment.
I'm pretty sure that you need to give the span some width. By default it has none, so of course no background image will be seen.
First, if you are not using sass and less, your stylesheet is wrong. Next, give inner-block to span and the image height and width.
h1 {
font- size: 24px;
}
h1 span.not-paid {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
display: inline-block;
background-image: url('/Public/images/remove.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
