I have a div with height and width, and it has a background image assigned to it in the stylesheet. It works fine in Firefox/Chrome, but in IE8 and below the image just doesn't show up. In the developer the background attribute doesn't even show up as one of the styles. I can add background color and that does work. Does anyone know why this might be?
For reference the attribute looks something like this:
background: url("imgpath.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
width:20px;
height:20px;
position:relative
Edit: the HTML is just a div within a larger wrapper. Other images in the wrapper that are defined in the same way work.
I will blatantly assume that imgpath.png is CMYK. IE8 only supports RGB images.
Try converting it from CMYK to RGB using this CMYK Converter.
Yeah, I think I know what it might be. Try to put the whole image path there including the protocol and domain, just like that: background: url("http://example.com/imgpath/image.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
And tell me if it works or not.

This is my issue.
I have a menu using an image sprite, the image has transparencies, but when I add a :hover, it works, but I am still able to see the original image at the end.
Is there a way to make the hover show the image that I want and REPLACE the original one?
Thanks,
Marco
You can replace an image by using it as a background-image instead of using the <img> tag.
But most of the times, this is slow and another way is maybe good practice:
Create an image that has the :hover image next to it [img|hoverImg]
Do a styling with background-position to change the background.
Like this:
.menuItem
{
background-image: url('hello.jpg');
width:100px;
height:30px;
}
.menuItem:hover
{
background-position: 100px; /* Or whatever measure your image is */
}
The problem with this, is that the image size is fixed. You really have to specify it, instead of just doing this with an image.
I like this as the best way. If you want to set the src in your <img>, this can be done with Javascript, but is much heavier most of the time, because you have to load an extra image from the server.
Screenshot of the issue: here
Webpage in Question: http://cure.org
Offending browser: Internet Explorer 7
You'll notice from the screenshot, or if you view this site in IE7, that the background image is not displaying for the content div (#modal-inner-content). Strangely, the image displays in the other divs where it is used (since it's a sprite, I'm using that same image for #modal-top-border and #modal-btm-border).
In all other browsers it displays properly, and even in IE8. I cannot seem to find what CSS rule (or lack thereof) I may be using that IE7 is choking on.
NOTE: in order to get the modal screen, just click the link at the very top banner of the page that says "login to your CURE account
I had the same problem in IE 7 with a transparent PNG acting as a background inside a <div>. Positioning the background at (0|0) fixed it for me:
background: url("images/bg-header.png") no-repeat 0 0;
I had the same problem, buttons with graphic backgrounds aren't displayed in IE7.
It seems that IE7 has problems with such HTML elements with borders, as setting border-width:0 solved the problem for me.
I just remembered that IE7 has a problem with mixed units in the background position property. so -636px top should be -636px 0
I agree with FutureKode. The background on #modal-inner-content isn't displaying because IE doesn't think the element hasLayout, which sometimes causes problems with other style declarations. To trigger hasLayout, the easiest way I see would be to style that div with width:576px (what Firebug is telling me the width of that div is). I'm assuming the width of that box never changes?
More on hasLayout, and what triggers it: http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html
Are you using some fix for IE and png images ?
If i remember correctly, most plugins/methods to enable transparency to background images by using the filter css property of IE made the background non-repeatable ..
It could be it ..
Not sure why the image isn't showing up in IE7, but this could be a good intermediate fix. this should add a white background if the image doesn't show up.
Try changing #modal-inner-content from:
background: url(http://cure.org/img/modal-bg-xy.png?jcb=1284407379) repeat-y -636px 0%;
to:
background: url(http://cure.org/img/modal-bg-xy.png?jcb=1284407379) #fff repeat-y -636px 0%;
--- Edit - don't use above answer ---
Try wrapping the url in quotes:
background: url("http://cure.org/img/modal-bg-xy.png?jcb=1284407379") repeat-y -636px 0%;
I need to install ie7. My first try would be to add a width to #modal-inner-content
Use the clear-rule:
clear:both;
Hi I have a 1px png file,which I am trying to set as a background image for two divs which are adjacent to each other horizontally.The html and css are as under:-
<div id='one'>hi</div>
<div id='two'>hello</div>
The css is like this
div {
width: 50%;
height: 50%
}
#one, #two {
background-image: url(/images/image.png);
background-repeat: repeat;
}
Now the problem here is in between the two divs a black border automaticaly appears when the image is set. I dont want the two divs to be seen as separate blocks.Please help. Am totally new to css and need help:-)!
I'd be willing to bet that the image you are using has alpha transparency (that is, the image is partially transparent), and what you're seeing is a one-pixel overlap between the two divs. Either make sure that the container is an even number of pixels wide, or put the divs inside another container and use the background on that instead.
like robert, i'm also not getting the border, but i do get some repeats.
see if this works for you:
#one, #two{
background-image:url(99785.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
borders: 0
}
The problem is caused by a couple of interacting things.
First, make sure you are using the html strict doctype. This will help mitigate a lot of the formatting issues between browsers around divs. See alistapart for a description and list of real doctypes to use and quirksmode for a detailed comparison of them.
Second, you will more than likely have to set the margin of your divs to 0. Browsers have different default settings. A strict doctype will alleviate most of this, but there are usually other areas you have to overcome as well.
Also, you might want to grab firebug for firefox and leverage chromes dev tools. firebug will actually show you what all of the margins / padding / everything else is being set to. The Chrome tools don't give you a pretty picture with the details but you can see what the margins/padding/etc are in the Computed Style section.
I am wondering if anyone knows how to achieve the following - take a look at http://www.dspts.si
The first 1/3rd of the screen has an empty background and from there onwards there should be a pattern repeating. I did it right now, by creating a very long pattern png and set it to offset 300 and repeat-x. However, I'm not happy with this solution because it will break if the pages ever get longer than the background image png is.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Put the repeating pattern as background to html element, then a white 1px * 300px image as an background image to body element, and you're all set.
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
html {
background: url(dotted.png);
}
body {
background: url(white_1x300.png) 0 0 repeat-x;
}
You don't have to use html and body tags for this, but it's the easiest way and doesn't require any new markup.
You can specify multiple backgrounds. See Can I have multiple background images using CSS?. The techniques mentioned there are:
Put the whole page into another <div> container or misuse the <html> tag for it.
This means you specify a background for <body> and one for <html>.
Use CSS3 which support multiple background images. That's not yet supported by all common browsers.
Yes, specify your background image as normal but set the background-position like this:
background-position:0 300px;
This will make the background image start at 0px from the left, and 300px from the top.
Let's not forget that you can use FireBug with FireFox to easily diagnose techniques on websites.
I'd like to be able to add a class to images that adds a border that makes them look like a stack of photos. Anyone know how to do this?
Clarifications: Ideally something like the stack shown here but it doesn't need to be interactive and only needs to work for a single photo. I also don't mind using javascript if needed (jQuery would be preferred though).
The "depth" affect is probably going to be some type of drop shadow. Do you need to rotate the photos as well for the "messy photo pile" effect or are you looking for a "neatly stacked" look?
The "messy photo pile" effect seems to me to break down into three components:
Put a background behind the image for the "polaroid" look (explained in other comments
Put a drop shadow behind the image for the "depth" effect (explained above and in other comments
Rotating images. I've never done this myself but it looks like someone has coded the Jquery plugin you are looking for.
Place your IMG tag inside a nested set of DIV elements (the number of divs will determine the number of photos in the stack). Then use CSS to set the border and padding so that the DIV elements get progressively larger than the photograph. Generally you will add more padding to the bottom and right.
CSS3 it's supported by everyone yet, but you might want to look into border-image.
Put a div around the image and then have 2 styles defined.
<div class="img-shadow"><img ...></div>
.img-shadow {style.css (line 456)
background-color:#505050;
float:left;
margin:5px 0 0 0;
}
.img-shadow img {style.css (line 461)
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:3px solid #000000;
display:block;
margin:-8px 8px 8px -8px;
padding:10px;
position:relative;
}
in the .img-shadow class, define a graphic for your background that's large enough for your images, and looks like a stack of photos. The above makes it look like the photo is casting a shadow.
Below is my recommendation which has a clear and simple CSS which results in a perfect photo stack.
