I have a background image pulling in but it is taking the height of the text not the image, I will eventually do a text-indent: -99999px but I have tried every CSS property to get the whole image to appear. Can anyone help with this, my website is: http://yesiamshow.biz/ it is the buttons under the slideshow, you can see I have the image for previous pulling but it does not show the whole height. All my CSS properties have a height of 60px and nothing is happening.
The button is actually the right height, but your .window class is cutting off it off. Looks like you can change it to 410px and it will fix:
.window {
height:410px;
}
You should also give the button a display:block or inline-block since you're giving it a width and height.
I took a quick look at your CSS and it seems that you are wrapping your link with a span element. You can still do that, however you need to make sure that you are applying all of your styling to the links.
Example. If your HTML was something like.
<a span="prev_btn">Previous</span>
You would have to style like so.
span.prev_btn a { }
And it should look something similar to the following.
span.prev_btn a {
background: [your url];
display: block;
height: [height];
width: [width];
text-indent: -9999px;
}
Hope that helped.

I am using bootstrap and I would like to display an image, followed by some text. However, no matter what I do, the text gets bumped to the next line, even though there is plenty of room after the image. Here is the code:
<div class="splash">
<h1><img src="logo.png" style="width:120%;height:auto" class="gold"><small>text</small></h1>
</div>
I thought images were supposed to be inline by default, but just in case I added this class in my css sheet:
.gold {
display: inline;
}
Can anyone explain why this is not working?
Your problem is with the width that you manually set to 120% with inline CSS. It's taking more than the full width (100%), there's no room remaining so the text is bumped to the next line.
If you remove that piece of code or change it to something smaller, it will work as expected.
Example : https://jsbin.com/quyogodawa/edit?html,output
When I had these issues I would always go into the Dev Tools in the browser. You can then go to the CSS tab, select the area of your page and it will show you all the styles being applied to that section.
You can tweak each style, add/remove on the fly, and see it change on your screen to figure out why it's not doing what you thought it should.
Each browser has it's own dev tools, and you access them by pressing F12.
Try changing your width and height values:
.gold {
display: inline;
width: auto;
height: 100%;
}
I think the fact that you're setting width to be 120% is forcing the small text to take a new line
Appears to be issues with my own .splash class, things work normally when I remove it. Not really sure why it would cause an issue though:
.splash {
font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
I have a layout as shown in this fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/4dbgnqha/4/. For reasons that you can read about in this post, I don't want to change the way the page is laid out.
Now, it works fairly well, but the issue is that when I add a border to the bottom of the .item divs, I realize that they don't span the full width of the page. As you can see in the above fiddle, the second .item down doesn't have enough content to fill the width, so its border doesn't reach the full width.
I thought I could fix this by just adding .item { width: 100%; }, but when I do that, the image gets added enough additional width to center the p, which looks really weird. Demo of that: https://jsfiddle.net/4dbgnqha/7/
I know it will fix if I add a set width to the image, but as I mentioned in my original post, I want it to be really flexible, able to have many image widths. I also know that if I wrap the image in an element and set that element to a really small width, like 1px, it will work, but that seems like a hack, and the reason I'm doing this stupid table layout in the first place is that I'm trying to avoid any such hacks.
How can I fix this issue?
You can add this into the CSS, it's a hack, but works very well with table layout.
.item p {
width: 100%;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/4dbgnqha/8/
you need to add width 100% to the .item p element so it gets the maximum available width, otherwise that element will get width:auto. So just add width:100% like this:
.item p {
margin: 0px;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: top;
width: 100%;
}
edit: well, now I see it was already answered, but for anyone looking for info, this is why it happens
I am trying to position a Twitter and Facebook image next to my portrait on my website but in order to get the positioning correct i have to use divs. The problem is that when i add a div to the image and a link to it the div makes the image unable to be clicked and go to the link. I can't get rid of the divs because its the only way for my images to be positioned correctly. I will post a JSfiddle below with the code.
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/HeyItsProdigy/RVUhV/
Area of issue : <div id="facebook"><img src="fb.png" height="101" width="101" />
The problem isn't exactly as you describe. The issue is that your positioning is causing your Twitter element to overlap the others, which makes them un-clickable.
There's unfortunately not an easy solution. I think you're going to have to rethink your whole CSS structure, including eliminating the deprecated <center> tags to figure this one out. Good luck.
Use z-index:
#twitter {
position:relative;
bottom:290px;
left:168px;
z-index: 1;
}
#facebook {
position:relative;
top:83px;
right:168px;
z-index: 5;
}
jsfiddle
However, this type of CSS styling shouldn't be used in this manner. Using rules such as top, left, bottom, right etc should rarely be used for positioning, unless using absolute positioned elements.
You should look into using margin and padding as well as display properties for positioning your divs. Much of this code can be taken out.
I'm very sorry to tell you, but the answer is: do a modern HTML tutorial!
You should try Code Academy they have interactive course for beginners and intermediates with direct feedback. It seems you got stuck with an old HTML 3/4 book which won't do you any good.
But I also got an direkt answer for your link problem: this fiddle where you include the images as background-images and by using your classes and selectors efficiently you have to write(mostly copy+paste) very few lines if you want to add something.
You do the most with this CSS part:
.socialmedia a {
display: block; /* Because the image is probably higher than the text */
height: 50px; /* you have to set it to block and height 50px to show the image */
padding-left: 55px; /* make room for the background image(50px) and extra margin(+5px) */
padding-top: 12px; /* center in the middle of the image */
padding-bottom: 12px;
text-decoration: none;
}
Example g+:
CSS:
.g a {
background: url(logo_g_50x50.png) no-repeat;
}
HTML
<li class="g">+1 me on g+</li>
and done!
It's easier to read and even easier to maintain for later reuse or additions
im having a problem regarding using background property with url('location') value with a div element. All browsers do not show the background image for any content written within the div tag.
code:
HTML:
body has a div tag with the class = slide. this div tag contains some content and links.
CSS:
div.slide {
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(images/btnslide.gif);
}
please help me identify the error. maybe i have misused div tag. please point out the solution for the above problem
thanks in advance
You either haven't set the height for your .slide element, or you haven't cleared the floats for the elements inside .slide. Try setting a height or adding overflow: auto if you want to clear the floats inside your <div>.
This code should work by default, as everybody said something else is wrong.
Either the height is wrong or the image does not exist.
Which browsers are failing exactly?
If you like you can try writting the CSS with full syntax:
background: url(..) top left repeat;
On a customer website, I have to add a background image for only a contained region of the page (its real content part).
The problem is, if the content is short enough, then the image will be clipped. How would be possible to have the image completely visible? I have tried to add the "overflow" CSS attribute but unfortunately it did not help me.
Here is an example of the website I have to work on: http://www.sfp-pensioen.nl/werknemer/welkom The background image is on the div element with id="content".
On the specific link that I am sending it is not an issue because the content is long enough, but if you remove elements using firebug then the problem will become obvious.
ps: IE6 must be supported.
Following on from Graham's answer:
"height" in ie6 acts like "min-height" across other browsers.
min-height: 50px;
_height: 50px;
The example above will provide a cross browser minimum height of 50px. ie6 will read "_height" where other browsers will not. If you don't hacks, use a conditional statement.
Rich
you could either give a height to the id #content
or
apply the background:url("/images/Doelgroep-Background-Image.jpg") no-repeat scroll left top transparent; to #mainContent instead of #content
overflow for background-images is impossible, but you could set a min-height for content (or set the image in another div with lower z-index and position it abolutely to appear at the place you want - but thats a very bad solution)
The overflow attribute controls what happens to the div when the content is too big to fit - if you have a fixed-size div with some content that might overflow, you generally want the auto option. overflow has no effect on a background image.
For your case, it sounds like you want to specify a min-height on the content div. Note that this isn't supported by older browsers like IE6, which you may or may not care about. There are plenty of ways to work around this, though.
What you want is the 100% height you can achieve this with the following.
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
height: 100%;
}
#content {
height: 100%;
}
You need the min-height and the body needs a height so every child element of the body will follow the rule.
Also by adding min-height: 100%; to all css rules will solve all your problems for any grade A browser.
If you know the #sidebar or #main will always have a visual height the same or larger than the background image then you can simply add the background image to:
.sub #wrapper #mainContent {
background:url("/images/Doelgroep-Background-Image.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 150px transparent;
}
instead of where it is an the moment on #content
