I have a page that contains multiple div containers. The first one is a page container and the next one is a Modal container. Within the Modal container, I have first window container. Outside of the Modal container, I have another DIV container for buttons.
What I want is to have both Modal container and button container at a different level(both at the same level) and the rest in the lower layer, with a transparency between them.
I have tried to capture the situation in(filter idea i got from seaching stackoverflow questions):
http://jsfiddle.net/Q2CNz/
#Modalcontainer {
position:absolute;
z-index :9999;
background: transparent;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#00FFFFFF,endColorstr=#00FFFFFF)";
/* IE8 */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#00FFFFFF, endColorstr=#00FFFFFF);
/* IE6 & 7 */
zoom: 1;
}
I am running into couple of problems in IE:
a) Stuff in first window and and button container are not on the same level. This may be something to do with postion? I tried a few combos and nothing worked
b) There is no transparency between the stuff at the higher level and the one at lower level.
This stuff is used in predominently IE6 onwards.
Please let me know , how I can achieve this. Please don't ask me to use jQuery, our mandate dpes NOT allow that.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by a "transparency" between them.. what you've got in your code is a gradient (though it's starting from the same color as it's ending on), not an opacity (transparency) setting.
Also as far as them being both at the same level - yet on different levels? you wrote:
What I want is to have both Modal container and button container at a different level(both at the same level)
do you mean lined up alongside each other instead of overlapping?
Since I'm not quite sure what you mean, I changed your example around and added an opacity on the modal container as well as a black to white gradient, and a background color on the page container so you can see the opacity.
http://jsfiddle.net/YCLnj/
#Pagecontent {
background-color:#663333;
}
#Modalcontainer {
width:70px;
height:70px;
padding:30px;
border:2px solid #000;
z-index:9999;
filter: alpha(opacity=70);
opacity:0.7;
-moz-opacity:0.7;
background:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(#000000), to(#FFFFFF));
background:-webkit-linear-gradient(center top, #000000, #FFFFFF);
background:-moz-linear-gradient(center top, #000000, #FFFFFF);
background:-o-linear-gradient(center top, #000000, #FFFFFF);
background:linear-gradient(center top, #000000, #FFFFFF) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#000000, endColorstr=#FFFFFF)";
/* For Internet Explorer 8 */
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#330000, endColorstr=#FFFFFF)";
/* IE6 & 7 */
zoom: 1;
}
#buttonContainer {
position:relative;
z-index:9999;
background:transparent;
padding:10px;
width:100px;
border: 2px dotted #CC33FF;
}
If you meant for the divs to be overlapping each other, you would just change the position to absolute on each of them and adjust the z-index accordingly, with the lowest number being placed at the bottom and highest on top. You would probably want to put the button layer on the top in that case, as otherwise the user won't be able to access the buttons to click.

I'm using CSS box-shadow to mimic a background that "bleeds" to the edges of the browser window. It works great in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer 9 & 10. However, Internet Explorer 11 renders a transparent 1px "space" before the left (negative) box-shadow.
Take this HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="widget">Test</div>
</div>
And this CSS:
.wrapper {
background:red;
padding:20px 0;
}
.widget {
width:600px;
height:400px;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
background:white;
box-shadow:20em 0 0 0 white, -20em 0 0 0 white;
}
In most browsers, the widget DIV has a white background and white left & right box shadows that fill the width of the browser window with no spaces, breaks or red from the wrapper bleeding through. In IE11 there is a 1px red line that runs vertically along the left side of the widget DIV.
Take a look at this fiddle for an example: http://jsfiddle.net/Bxsdd/. (You may need to manually adjust the width of the fiddle Results pane as slight differences in the width of the window show the issue more apparently - again, only in IE11.)
Things I've tried to remove the transparent space:
Changing the box-shadow from using em's to using px's
Adding or subtracting 1px from the other box-shadow attributes
Adding a border around the widget DIV
Adjusting the padding, display, position and other CSS elements for the widget
So many things I can't even remember right now
Any ideas how to remove the 1px transparent space in IE11?
Now that we know it's a bug, here's one acceptable workaround:
.widget {
width:600px;
height:400px;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
background:white;
box-shadow:20em 0 0 0 white, -20em 0 0 0 white;
position:relative;
z-index:2;
}
.widget:before, .widget:after {
position:absolute;
content: " ";
width:1em;
left:-1em;
top:0;
height:100%;
background:white;
z-index:1;
}
.widget:after {
left:auto;
right:-1em;
}
Basically, I'm adding absolutely positioned :before & :after pseudo elements that contain nothing more than the same background color as the widget DIV and that DIV's box-shadow. These pseudo elements are offset just to the outside-left and outside-right of the widget DIV and positioned behind it so that they provide the correct color for the box-shadow bleed through.
Obviously this adds complication if one is already using the :before & :after elements, but this works for my purposes. I suppose one could also try setting negative margins on the widget DIV.
Checkout the fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/TVNZ2/
THE PROBLEM:
This appears to be an graduated alpha transparency/aliasing issue to do with even/odd pixelation calculations.
As best I can tell, colour is spilling into that pixel line but the antialiasing calculation is stripping its alpha value in an attempt to try graduate the distinction of the box-shadow with its surrounds.
That is fine on the outside border of the box shadow, but not so great in the inside border - which is why we are all here!
WHAT (PRETTY MUCH) WORKED FOR ME (PURE CSS):
In my use case, this was fixed by adding several additional box-shadows (of different and lesser values) like so:
div {box-shadow: 10px 0px 0px 0px red,
4px 0px 0px 0px red,
3px 0px 0px 0px red,
1px 0px 0px 0px red;}
Though not elegant, this cumulatively increase the "spill" into the inner pixel line. About three additional box-shadows were required to achieve the desired value - suggesting the antialiasing spill is set at about 25%. Different device densities may change that?
Simply repeating the same box-shadow didn't work - so I am guessing IE treated them as an repetition error and ignored them.
THE "PRETTY MUCH" PART (FOR ME):
In my use case I was adding a purely horizontal box shadow to the right of a text span to create the impression of padding if the line broke and became more than one line. I wasn't adding a shadow to the top or bottom or around a div.
The "pretty much" part for me is that there is a little vertical spill "dot" of about 1px or 2 pixels at the top and bottom of pixel line at certain widths. Essentially, the same problem above in reverse.
Not ideal, but far more preferable than having a whole line transparent.
I hope this will work for you (the reader) in similar other scenarios, but I haven't tested this.
Good luck, and let's all thank good ol' IE for its "challenges"!! ;)
You can fill the space with outline:1px solid color; It worked for me.
.container{
display:block;
position: relative;
width:450px;
height:450px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #654d7f;
}
.header-emphasis{
position: absolute;
bottom:5px;
max-width: 420px
}
span{
position: relative;
left:8px;
background-color: white;
padding:4px 4px 4px 0px;
color: #666666;
box-shadow: 6px 1px 0px 2px #ffffff, -8px 1px 0px 2px #ffffff;
outline: 1px solid white;
}
<div class="container">
<h3 class="header-emphasis">
<span class="highlight">
If there are no dogs in heaven then when i die i want to go where they went.
</span>

</div>
I thought I would share my answer to this issue. I cannot be sure that I have had the same exact problem as everyone else, but what I have observed is this: The problem occurs in EI11 (and EI10 according to other which I have not tested) when an element with a set width of pixels is centered using margin: auto; (my case was a left/right issue). I noticed that on resize, the div would shift over to the right 1px on every other pixel width of the screen.
I used a transparent background to observe that instead of just a gap appearing on the left, the div did in fact shift 1px to the right.
Changing the width of the div 1px does work on the current screen width. However, change the screen width will bring back the problem on every other pixel.
To solve the issue, we need to identify the screen width as even or odd. In my case, on even I added a css rule to my culprit div. The new rule changes the left positioning by 0.5px.
Furthermore, the function needs to be executed on the screen resize.
Below is the script I used to fix the issue:
(function (window, document) {
function isEven() {
var windowWidth = window.innerWidth;
// Find out if size is even or odd
if (windowWidth % 2 === 0) {
document.querySelector("#container").classList.add("container_left_1px");
} else {
document.querySelector("#container").classList.remove("container_left_1px");
}
};
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", isEven);
window.addEventListener(('onorientationchange' in window) ? 'orientationchange':'resize', isEven);
})(this, this.document);
And the css rule
.container_left_1px {left: .5px;}
Executing the script only on EI10 and 11 would be optimum. Please forgive my scripting as this is the first js I have made. Please feel free to correct any issues. This solved my problem; I hope someone finds it helpful!
DaveE gave a nice solution. I played with this myself as well. I had an issue with the top and bottom blur of a box-shadow, instead of left and right. I eventually solved it by just adding a border on top and use important next to it.
.class
{
border-top:1px solid $colorBg !important;
border-bottom:1px solid $colorBg !important;
}
Perhaps not as well tought out as the previous solution, but it worked for me.
Found this solution(Small space between box shadow and div when alpha set) and it works for me: div width must be an odd number.
width: 800px; => not working, but width:799px; => works and white gap disappeared!
In my case, I had a white line between the div bottom and the shadow and I resolved the issue adding a height to the div with decimals:
height:30px; -> height:30.1px;
I have two background images-a and b. Automaticly A is in front of B. Can I change this using Z-index?
You can have multiple background images...but the stacking order is determined by the order they are listed in your CSS.
background:
url(number.png) 600px 10px no-repeat, /* On top, like z-index: 4; */
url(thingy.png) 10px 10px no-repeat, /* Middle like z-index: 3; */
url(Paper-4.png); /* On bottom, like z-index: 1; */
CSS-Tricks Article
It's not a good idea because Z-index requires that the image is Absolutely positioned which can cause other layout problems in different browsers. it's better if you put the image in as a background image using CSS and transition for changing background. Here you have a sample of background transition.
How do I add a url background image to the gradient and position it specifically?
Because the gradient is treated as an image in itself
CSS
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #98cb01 2%,#60a822
100%)!important;
http://css-tricks.com/stacking-order-of-multiple-backgrounds/
Multiple background images is a cool feature of CSS3. The syntax is
easy, you just comma separate them. I find it's easiest/best to use
the background shorthand property so you can declare the position and
repeating and whatnot and keep them all grouped together. What isn't
obvious while looking at the syntax is which image is on top in the
vertical stacking order when those images overlap. The spec is clear
in this regard and browser implimentations follow. The first is on top
and they go down from there.
CSS
background:
url(number.png) 600px 10px no-repeat, /* On top, like z-index: 4; */
url(thingy.png) 10px 10px no-repeat, /* like z-index: 3; */
url(Paper-4.png); /* On bottom, like z-index: 1; */
It's like z-index but this isn't z-index, it's parts of one single
element.
I think it's slightly confusing, since it's the opposite of how HTML
works naturally. If all elements have the same z-index (and are
positioned in some way and overlap) the last element will be on top,
not the first. Not that big of a deal though, just need to learn it
once.
The big thing to remember is that if you were to use one of the
background for a fully opaque / fully repeating image, list that one
last not first, otherwise it will cover all the others up.
Also remember that while multiple backgrounds is totally radical, the
fallback for browsers that don't support it is that it displays
nothing at all for the background, so be careful there. The best way
to handle it, as always, is Modernizr. They even use it as the demo
right on the homepage of their site (adjusted for clarity):
CSS
.multiplebgs body
{
/*
Awesome multiple BG declarations that
transcend reality and impress chicks
*/
}
.no-multiplebgs body
{
/* laaaaaame fallback */
}
So for your example, you could do:
background:
url(number.png) 600px 10px no-repeat,
linear-gradient(to bottom, #98cb01 2%,#60a822 100%)!important;
I applied a gradient as background image to my body. Then I added 255px offset at the top using background-position:0 255px;.
It looks quite good except one little issue: of course the gradient does not end at the bottom of the page but 255px underneath.
Is there any easy way to let the gradient end at the bottom but start with offset from to?
http://jsfiddle.net/julian_weinert/ar6jC/
You can achieve what you want like this: Place your background at 0px 0px and define a gradient with more color-stops, having one solid color area at the top and then the actual gradient, like this:
background-position: 0px 0px;
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,
#FFFFFF 0px, /* Have one solid white area */
#FFFFFF 255px, /* at the top (255px high). */
#C4C7C9 255px, /* Then begin the gradient at 255px */
#FFFFFF 100% /* and end it at 100% (= body's height). */
);
(The sample code works on latest versions of Chrome and FireFox, but adapting it to support all major browsers and versions is straight-forward, applying the same principle.)
See, also, this short demo.
I think the answer is no, but can you position a background image with CSS, so that it is a fixed amount of pixels away from the right?
If I set background-position values of x and y, it seems those only give fixed pixel adjustments from the left and top respectively.
background-position: right 30px center;
It works in most browsers. See: http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-background-offsets for full list.
More information: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-background-position
It is possible to use attribute border as length from the right
background: url('/img.png') no-repeat right center;
border-right: 10px solid transparent;
There is one way but it's not supported on every browser (see coverage here)
element {
background-position : calc(100% - 10px) 0;
}
It works in every modern browser, but it is possible that IE9 is crashing. Also no coverage for =< IE8.
As far as I know, the CSS specification does not provide for exactly what you're asking, outside of CSS expressions, of course. Working off the assumption that you don't want to use expressions or Javascript, I see three hackish solutions:
Make sure your background image matches the size of the container (at least in width) and set background-repeat: repeat or repeat-x if only the width is equalized. Then, having something appear x pixels from the right is as simple as background-position: -5px 0px.
Using percentages for background-position exhibits special behaviour that is better seen than described here. Give it a shot. Essentially, background-position: 90% 50% will make the right edge of the background image line up 10% away from the right edge of the container.
Create a div containing the image. Explicitly set the position of the containing element position: relative if not already set. Set the image container to position: absolute; right: 10px; top: 10px;, obviously adjusting the final two as you see fit. Place the image div container into the containing element.
Try this:
#myelement {
background-position: 100% 50%;
margin-right: 5px;
}
Note though that the code above will move the whole element (not the background image only) 5px from the right. This might be ok for your case.
You can do it in CSS3:
background-position: right 20px bottom 20px;
It works in Firefox, Chrome, IE9+
Source: MDN
Image workaround with transparent pixels on the right to serve as right margin.
The image workaround for the same is to create a PNG or GIF image (image file formats that support transparency) which has a transparent portion on the right of the image exactly equal to the number of pixels that you want to give a right margin of (eg: 5px, 10px, etc.)
This works well consistently across fixed widths as well as widths in percentages.
Practically a good solution for accordion headers having a plus/minus or up/down arrow image on the header's right!
Downside: Unfortunately, you cannot use JPG unless the background portion of the container and the background color of the CSS background image are of the same flat color (with out a gradient/vignette), mostly white/black etc.
If you happen to stumble on this topic in these days of modern browsers you can use pseudo-class :after to do practicaly anything with the background.
.container:after{
content:"";
position:absolute;
right:20px;
background:url(http://lorempixel.com/400/200) no-repeat right bottom;
}
this css will put background to bottom right corner of ".container" element with 20px space on the right side.
See this fiddle for example http://jsfiddle.net/h6K9z/226/
The most appropriate answer is the new four-value syntax for background-position, but until all browsers support it your best approach is a combination of earlier responses in the following order:
background: url(image.png) no-repeat 97% center; /* default, Android, Sf < 6 */
background-position: -webkit-calc(100% - 10px) center; /* Sf 6 */
background-position: right 10px center; /* Cr 25+, FF 13+, IE 9+, Op 10.5+ */
If you want to specify only the x-axis, you can do the following:
background-position-x: right 100px;
Just put the pixel padding into the image - add 10px or whatever to the canvas size of the image in photohop and align it right in CSS.
I was trying to do a similar task to get a dropdown arrow always on the right side of the table header and came up with this which seemed to work in Chrome and Firefox, but safari was telling me it was an invalid property.
background: url(http://goo.gl/P93P5Q) center right 10px no-repeat;
After doing a bit of messing around in the inspector, I came up with this cross-browser solution that works in IE8+, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, as well as responsive designs.
background: url(http://goo.gl/P93P5Q) no-repeat 95% center;
Here is a codepen of how it looks and works. Codepen is written with SCSS - http://cdpn.io/xqGbk
You can position your background image in an editor to be x pixels from the right side.
background: url(images_url) no-repeat right top;
The background image will be positioned in top right, but will appear to be x pixels from the right.
Works for all real browsers (and for IE9+):
background-position: right 10px top 10px;
I use it to RTL WordPress themes.
See example: temporary website or the real website will be up soon.
Look at the icons at the big DIVs right corners.
Another solution I haven't seen mentioned is to use pseudo elements and I do believe this solution will work with any CSS 2.1 compliant browser (≥ IE8,≥ Safari 2, ...) and it should also be responsive :
element::after
{
content:' ';
position:relative;
display:block;
width:100%;
height:100%;
bottom:0;
right:-5px; /* 10 px from the right of element inner-margin (padding) see example */
background:url() right center no-repeat;
}
Example: The element eg. a square sized 100px (without considering borders) has a 10px padding and a background image should be shown inside the right padding. This means the pseudo-element is a 80px sized square. We want to stick it to the right border of the element with right:-10px;. If we'd like to have the background-image 5px away from the right border we need to stick the pseudo-element 5px away from the right border of the element with right:-5px;...
Test it for your self here : http://jsfiddle.net/yHucT/
If the container has a fixed height:
Tweek the percentages (background-position) until it fits correctly.
If the container has a dynamic height:
If you want a padding between your background and your container (such as when custom styling inputs, selects), add your padding to your image and set the background position to right or bottom.
I stumbled on this question while I was trying to get the background for a select box to fit say 5 px from the right of my select. In my case, my background is an arrow down that would replace the basic drop down icon. In my case, the padding will always remain the same (5-10 pixels from the right) for the background, so it's an easy modification to bring to the actual background image (making its dimensions 5-10 pixels wider on the right side.
Hope this helps!
Tweaking percentages from the left is a little brittle for my liking. When I need something like this I tend to add my container styling to a wrapper element and then apply the background on the inner element with background-position: right bottom
<style>
.wrapper {
background-color: #333;
border: solid 3px #222;
padding: 20px;
}
.bg-img {
background-image: url(path/to/img.png);
background-position: right bottom;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
.content-breakout {
margin: -20px
}
</style>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="bg-img">
<div class="content-breakout"></div>
</div>
</div>
The .content-breakout class is optional and will allow your content to eat into the padding if required (negative margin values should match the corresponding values in the wrapper padding). It's a little verbose, but works reliably without having to be concerned about the relative positioning of the image compared to its width and height.
Its been loong since this question has been asked, but I just ran into this problem and I got it by doing :
background-position:95% 50%;
Solution for negative values. Adjust the padding-right to move the image.
<div style='overflow:hidden;'>
<div style='width:100% background:url(images.jpg) top right; padding-right:50px;'>
</div>
</div>
Better for all
background: url('../images/bg-menu-dropdown-top.png') left 20px top no-repeat !important;
This works in Chrome 27, i don't know if it's valid or not or what other browswers do with it. I was surprised about this.
background: url(../img/icon_file_upload.png) top+3px right+10px no-repeat;
