I've been doing a site for tafe and I've gone over different ways to do this and none of them have worked so far. I am trying to add a button image to a list menu using div id but it just seems not to be working. This demo page is a online version of my page, Image menu is suppose to be on the left hand side with the text over it.
I am trying to put a image in a unordered list as a background image and it doesn't appear to be working.
I am trying to put it in this part of the css at the very ened
#navcontainer ul {
padding: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
width: 200px;
display: block;
line-height: 34px;
background-image: url(images/pg_menu_bg.png);
}
Here is my html and my css:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="navigation"><ul><li>HOME</li><li>NEWS</li>
<li>
CONTACT</li><li>ABOUT</li></ul></div>
<div id="leftcolumn">

Edit:
Yes, this is exactly the problem. I just checked the link you posted, and the browser is looking for an image located at: http://www.156.onl.checit.info/CSS/images/pg_menu_bg.png - which doesn't exist.
See that "CSS" in there? I'm 99% sure that's unintentional. It's an absolute/relative path issue. Read on...
if your image is not appearing I'm gonna go out on a hunch and say it's because your image paths are messed up.
Solution:
This:
/* ABSOLUTE PATH solution */
background-image: url(/images/pg_menu_bg.png);
or maybe even this (depending on your file structure):
/* RELATIVE PATH solution. This is FROM YOUR CSS FILE.*/
background-image: url(../images/pg_menu_bg.png);
Explanation:
There is a big difference between:
background-image: url(images/pg_menu_bg.png);
and
background-image: url(/images/pg_menu_bg.png); /* note the leading slash */
The leading slash means an absolute path (ie. "path from your root domain url"), whereas no leading slash means a relative path (ie. "relative to the location of this file, in this case, your CSS file").
That means, presuming you have a file structure like this:
root
|
----images
| pg_menu_bg.png
|
----css
| mycss.css
from your css file, calling:
background-image: url(images/pg_menu_bg.png);
actually results in:
http://yourdomain.com/css/images/pg_menu_bg.png /* note the "css" */
whereas calling:
background-image: url(/images/pg_menu_bg.png);
results in:
http://yourdomain.com/images/pg_menu_bg.png
So I think you need to have a look at your directory structure, and work from there. My guess is you need to use absolute paths.
But if you wanted to use relative paths with the dummy file structure above, you can use:
background-image: url(../images/pg_menu_bg.png); /* ".." means "parent directory"
More info:Using relative URL in CSS file, what location is it relative to?
Second problem:
You have another issue, this style:
* {
background-color: #6FF;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
This style applies a blue background TO EVERY ELEMENT. So even if your paths to that background image are ok, they're being hidden by foreground elements with blue backgrounds.
Try change * to body:
body {
background-color: #6FF;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
Note: if you actually want a margin:0; and padding:0; on every element, leave the above style as you had it (but remove the background-color), and define a new body style and put the background-color in there instead. Like this:
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
body {
background-color: #6FF;
}

the contact form i have on my front page that im making, has some CSS on it so its all centred, fits inside the white box it creates etc, yet one of the fields doesn't seem to fit inside the white box but everything else does, heres the site.
https://www.traveltradewinds.com/ttw/
When i change the CSS to try and fix it, i noticed that the width being set to 110% fits it in, but then isn't in the centre of the screen as a result, on a side note, the checkbox isn't the default input type checkbox it has a style to it that i haven't added, can anyone help me to show whats going wrong as it looks like ti should work to me?
Many thanks

Looks like it belongs to hotel-booking.css. Please check this
You didn't need to use the FORM tag for parent and LIST tag to children. You would use the DIV to create this part and then give 17% of main width to each subDIV.(1% to margin) such as below code:
body {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.mainDIV {
background: red;
width: 80%;
}
.subDIV {
background: blue;
height: 100px;
width: 17%;
margin: 1%;
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="mainDIV">
<div class="subDIV">
</div>
<div class="subDIV">
</div>
<div class="subDIV">
</div>
<div class="subDIV">
</div>
<div class="subDIV">
</div>
</div>
I hope it will be useful.
I have the following CSS lines:
.liquid {
display: inline-block;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #ff8125;
margin-right: 15px;
}
<h2 class="liquid">Liquid</h2>
It should look like this:
http://imgur.com/B9vblUP
But instead looks like this:
http://imgur.com/8RQTkcO
What am i doing wrong here and how to get it exactly like the first pic?
I tried overflow hidden but that only shows Liquid in 25x25 on the block and the rest is not showing.
Any help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Majin Buu
I think you should create another element for the orange square instead of editing the class of the h2 element because the background attribute it will be applied on that element, so I would make something like:
<div class="liquid"></div>
<h2>Liquid</h2>
.liquid {
float: left;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #ff8125;
margin-right: 15px;
}
To have the square floating to the left of the element.
Check out CSS position!
.liquid {
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #ff8125;
}
h2 {
position: relative;
margin-left: 30px;
}
<div class="liquid"></div><h2>Liquid</h2>
Use html like this
<div class="bg_white">
<span class="liquid"> </span><h2>Liquid</h2>
</div>
CSS
.bg_white{background:white; padding:5px; width:auto; float:left;}
.liquid {
display: inline-block;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #ff8125;
margin-right: 15px;
float:left;
font-size:18px;
}
.bg_white h2{float:left; margin:0px;}
Pseudo element is better for this solution:
h2 {
background: #eee;
padding: 5px;
display:inline-block;
}
.liquid::before {
content:'';
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #ff8125;
margin-right: 15px;
}
<h2 class="liquid">Liquid</h2>
You are styling the font part of the wanted result itself. You should either add an element for the orange square or use a pseudo element. This will get you in the right direction.
.liquid {
line-height: 1;
}
.liquid:before {
background: #ff8125;
content: ''; /* important for pseudo elements */
display: inline-block;
height: .9em;
margin-right: .45em;
position: relative;
top: .1em;
width: .9em;
}
<h2 class="liquid">Liquid</h2>
you can use below CSS for this if text is small and always in one line.
.liquid {
display: inline-block;
padding-left: 10px;
border-left: 25px solid #ff8125;
margin-right: 15px;
font: 25px/25px Arial;
font-weight: bold;
}
<h2 class="liquid">Liquid</h2>
This is piece of bigger project but what happens is that use of negative margin on one element (.pag) takes the other element (#ar_wr_in) out from floated box (#ar_wr)?
It works fine in Firefox but does not in Chrome or IE.
HTML:
<body>
<div id="ar_wr">
<div class="pag">pagination</div>
<div id="ar_wr_in">
<section class="ar">isdjs fjs odifj</section>
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
body {
color: #f00;
background: #191919;
font-family: LucidaGrande, Helvetica, Arial, sans;
}
section {
display: block;
float: left;
}
section {
margin: 0px;
}
#ar_wr {
width: 59%;
padding: 1%;
background: #ffddff;
border-radius: 5px;
margin-right: 1.5%;
}
#ar_wr {
float: left;
margin-top: 80px;
}
#ar_wr_in {
width 100%;
float: left;
margin-top: 17px;
}
.pag {
font-size: 12px;
margin-top: -77px;
/* background: #ddffff; */
position: relative;
}
.ar {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 40px;
position: relative;
background: #ddffff;
}
Here is JSFiddle
Is there some fix or hack for this to make it look as in Firefox?
Thank you
If you make your pagination element have absolute positioning then it can happily sit outside it's parent without affecting other non-absolute elements that come after it:
.pag {
font-size: 12px;
margin-top: -77px;
/* background: #ddffff; */
position: absolute;
}
Strange that Firefox treats it differently, but I would actually expect the result that you see in Chrome from using relative positioning like that.
The app (RoR) shows a set of rows with posts info. Each row has the title aligned to the left and date aligned to the right.
I need to have a link working over all the row, not only over the text.
If I don't use float, the link works properly over all the row but I cannot establish a margin-top. If I use float, the margin-top works OK, but then the link only works over the text.
I don get what the issue is. Any ideas?
This is my css:
.post {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 900px;
height: 40px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #BDBDBD;
}
.post a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
}
.post a span.title{
float: left;
margin-top: 7px;
}
.post a span.date{
float: right;
margin-top: 7px;
}
I assume your html structure is like this:
<div class="post">
<a href="#">
<span class="date">date</span>
<span class="title">title</span>
</a>
</div>
Note: I moved the date up and title down, because we're going to make the first one to float right. You can then use margin or padding as needed.
.post {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 900px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #BDBDBD;
}
.post a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px 0;
}
.post a span.date {
float: right;
}

I have 2 questions based on the linked(or above) code.
The 5 container div's width was set as:
.itemnumber 6%, .userprofile 14%, .nameandcredit 45%, .ranktitle 15%, .usercredit 20%. So in total they are 100%. But as you see, the last one .usercredit is not in the same line and there're margins between each div, which is not what I want.
for the .username, I have set overflow:hidden, but as you see, when there's a large string, the .username was totally disappeared. If there're spaces in the string, it will only hide the overflow part and show the front part. I want to know what's the problem?
I know it's a little bit messed up of a lot code here. But my question is as listed as above. Thanks in advance for any kind suggestion.
For the spacing, you have two problems:
Implicit spaces between inline-block elements, and
Defining widths for elements with padding.
Regarding username overflow, you have one issue:
Default word wrapping behavior is to wrap the whole word to the next line. You need to change that behavior.
Let's take a look at each of them:
Implicit Spaces
The problem is that your divs have a display: inline-block; style. Elements displayed as an inline-block have any white-space between them converted to a single space.
See the "Fighting the Space Between Inline Block Elements" article on CSS Tricks for more information on how to overcome this.
One fix, for instance, is to have the li element that is wrapping the divs to have a 0 font-size, and reset a non-zero font size to its children, e.g. in your CSS:
.font-size-0 {
font-size: 0;
}
.font-size-0 > * {
font-size: 12px;
}
Any of the links outlined in the link above would work; for example, removing spaces and newlines between your closing tag and opening tag would do the same thing, without forcing you to set and reset the font-size.
Widths for elements with padding
In CSS, a width is defined by default for an element to include only its content area (box-sizing: content-box; by default) and not the padding. Set the box-sizing to border-box and you'll be all set.
E.g.
.font-size-0 > div {
box-sizing: border-size;
}
Properly wrapping a single word without spaces
See this StackOverflow answer to see how to address the issue. You will basically need to add this to your .username rule:
.username {
...
word-wrap:break-word;
}
