I am New to web-design. I have learned it by myself but its very hard for me to understand "CSS". I am trying to build a simple website were I want to insert image using CSS than using img tag but the image doesn't show up.
Its happening only with one image which has transparent background and 300px/300px.
My folder directory:
index.html
images (folder)
css (folder)
Above are the files I have in my project. And below is my code I have used.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>XYZ</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/reset.css" />
</head>
<body>
<header id="main">
<h1 >XYZ</h1>
</header>
<nav id="main-nav">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>How it works</li>
<li>About Us</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
<li>Report bugs</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</body>
CSS
/** web-page default stylings **/
body {
background-color: #efefef;
line-height: 17px;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
a{
text-decoration: none;
}
/** content styling **/
#logo {
background: url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/PJgCt/
#logo {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
background: url('http://www.smiley-faces.org/wallpaper/smiley-face-wallpaper-widescreen-001.jpg');
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
I would recommend making the #logo a div by itself instead of calling it in the a tag. Also you can use the background-size attribute to fill up the full width/height. I provided a JS fiddle that should help you.
I hope this helps you, Good Luck!
You have to add a Width and Height to the block element (#logo) for it to display. Otherwise it's an empty container with a background image sitting at width: 0; height: 0; Also adding a display: block; to turn the tag into a block level element.
Again display block is key for my solution. http://jsfiddle.net/olwez/T5evL/
html.
css
#logo {
display: block;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
background: url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat;

this is my first posting here and I am new to CSS. I am trying to get a sprite of Mario with dimensions of 32 x 16. When I open the html file nothing appears. I try to inspect element the html but I cannot see a div.
CSS
#stillMario {
width: 16px;
height: 32px;
margin: auto;
background-image: url("sprites/still.png");
position:absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
bottom:0px;
}
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Super Mario</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div id="stillMario"></div>
<script src="myjs.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
If you are sure that the folder 'sprites' is in the root of your project, then try prefixing it with '../', then try without the absolute positioning first. If it works, then return the positioning again as follows;
#stillMario {
width: 16px;
height: 32px;
margin: auto;
background-image: url("../sprites/still.png");
//position:absolute;
//left: 0px;
//top: 0px;
//bottom:0px;
}
Let me know if it works
Use <img> element instead of setting the background of the <div>.
Example: <img src=""sprites/still.png"" alt="Mario" height="32" width="16">
I'm trying to make a website with Twitter Bootstrap, that is basically a single, vertically centered column on top of a background container div (so I can color / image the background on the edges).
I keep having this issue where I can get the background div to fill the enter screen, but the centered column div sets its height to the size of the content. I want it to always, at least, be as tall as the screen size. I thought min-height would do this, but it does not.
Here's what it looks like right now: (it's just a test page for the layout)
Here is the code for it:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Baileysaurus -- Dinosaurs && Logic in your face!</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link href="/bootstrap/css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<LINK href="header.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- Bootstrap -->
<LINK href="/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"
media="screen">
<!-- A file of PHP utility functions -->
<?php
include 'functions.php';
?>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Bootstrap -->
<script src="bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<div id='background' class='row-fluid'>
<div class='span12'>
<div id='site-column' class='row-fluid span10 offset1 column-wrap'>
<img src="/PipeDog.jpg" alt="ARGUMENT INVALID" />
<hr>
<p>
Put a blog here!
</p>
</div> <!-- END of outermost span12 div -->
</div> <!-- END - "site-column" div -->
</div> <!-- END - "background" div -->
</body>
</html>
CSS
html, body
{
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#background
{
position: absolute;
top:0;
bottom: 0;
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
background-color: Gainsboro;
}
#site-column
{
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
min-height: 100%;
border-left: 2px solid;
border-right: 2px solid;
background-color: white;
}
.column-wrap
{
overflow: hidden;
}
I'm trying to get the white column in that photo to stretch to the bottom of the screen, at least, even if the content is not that long.
Anyone have any ideas on what I'm missing?
You should also be able to add the following CSS:
.span12 {
height:100%;
}
Try to make your outer <div> to extend to the bottom of the page.
So try this in the css:
.row-fluid
{
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
}
And I'm not sure but you may have to move your
<script src="bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
line to the <head> part of your page.
I'm trying to get the Google Map div fixed so it becomes always visible, but somehow the style property "position:fixed" is not working. The code is the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<meta name="layout" content="main" />
<style type="text/css">
html { height: 100% }
body { height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px }
#map_canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Some script
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()">
<div class="nav">
First div
</div>
<div id="artistList">
Second div
</div>
<div id="map_canvas" style="position: fixed; right: 0px; top: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%">
Map div
</div>
</body>
</html>
Any help? Thanks very much
This will solve it:
<div id="fixed" style="position:fixed; top:0">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%">
[map content goes here]
</div>
</div>
You should clean up your code a little to make things more visible. At first you should move the css style settings from your map_canvas into your css section in the html head. What remains is a clean <div id="map_canvas"></div>. Now let's head to your CSS section in the html head. Try it like this:
<style type="text/css">
html {}
body {margin: 0px; padding: 10px }
#map_canvas {
position: fixed;
right: 0;
top: 0;
width: 90%;
height: 90%;
border:1px solid #f00;
margin:10px;
}
</style>
I removed the height:100%; from html and body. I reduced to sizes of the canvas from 100% to 90% and gave it a red border and a margin of 10px to make things more clear. The div is set in the upper right corner now and is fixed. I tested it on FF, Chrome, Safari and IE.
But now one little question... Does it make sense to make the canvas 100% wide and high?! The map_canvas would hide everything else in your html...?
Najeeb's solution did not work for me.
Changing the map elements css (from position:absolute to position:fixed) after the "tilesloaded" map event seemed to work.
I wanted the footer on a mobile site I was working on to stick to the bottom of the page. I found the CSS Sticky Footer example by Ryan Fait and implemented it. On every browser I could conceivably test, I found the footer to stick nicely to the bottom.
And, then it happened. The clients complained about the footer throwing itself all over the place. On painfully requesting details, I found out that the problem occurred on only one model of BlackBerry mobile devices: the 8250 model. I pulled out a Windows VM, downloaded and installed the BlackBerry 8250 simulator, and sure enough, I saw the problem.
For a page the height of two BlackBerry screens, the footer sticks to the middle of the first screen, on top of everything else. The footer does not move as you scroll, and if you scroll down to the lower half of the page, the footer is not visible. It stays fixed to the middle of the top screen.
I will post the HTML and CSS to the end of this question. If I could get any pointers or clues as to why this is happening on the 8250 BlackBerry model, and not least, how it could be fixed, I would be very very grateful.
Thank you!

I found this jQuery Sticky Footer hack. I am not too sure of whether this is going to be something people would suggest I should go with. I've not tested it yet, though.
Update: This is a small update to say that I toyed with the jQuery Sticky Footer hack linked right above. It didn't work for the BlackBerry device mentioned, either.
After trying a couple of different things, I stumbled into the CSSStickyFooter solution. I implemented it and found it to work well on the Black Berry device in question, along with the rest of everything I have tested it on. I am going to paste the HTML and CSS code below:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=320; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=yes;"/>
<title>Another CSS Sticky Footer that works on Black Berry</title>

}

min-height: 100%;
}
.push {
padding-bottom: 4em;
overflow: auto;

even after many lines i've written in css and html, the css-behaviour still manages to surprise me - in a bad way.
I was putting together a sample site for a friend to show him how he could build his layout,
but Firefox 3.0.5 and IE8 create margins between my #header, #content, and #footer-divs out of nowhere. If i switch in IE7 Mode, the margins disappear.
CSS:
html, body {
background-color: #fff;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#page {
background-image: url('bg_gradiant.png');
background-repeat: repeat-y;
width: 950px; /* 770px + 2 * 90px; */
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left: 90px;
}
#header {
width: 770px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#header #row1 {
background-color: #9ab3ba;
height: 50px;
}
#header #row2 {
background-color: #517279;
height: 50px;
}
#content {
width: 770px;
background-color: #d7e9ed;
}
#footer {
background-color: #5eb6cc;
width: 770px;
height: 150px;
}

Browsing through the IE Developer Tools and Firebug showed me that they were no default-margin values set for these div's, but as one can see, they are there.
Hope you can give me a hint how to get rid of them - it's seriously driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance!
Add the following to your stylesheet:
* {
margin: 0;
}
It's not the DIV but the P tag that has the margin set by default. I tested setting it to 0 and the space disappeared.
The margins are on the p tag in the #content div
Hope this helps you a little
You need to use a reset css. You should do this on every Web page/site you develop. A good reset CSS will remove many of the default settings and make cross-browser look and feel much less painless.
There are several of these around such as Eric Meyer's or the Yahoo UI Reset CSS.
When I've seen this before, I've added a padding-bottom:1px to the bottom of the containing DIV so that I can keep the margins on the Paragraphs
Hope that helps
