I'm trying to change the color of the background. However, the background stays white even if I remove the background-color keeps showing me that the background color is white. To make sure that I'm changing the background I opened the style file in the browser but it still shows "background-color: white".
My code:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
After adding a background:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #000;
}
The code the browser shows:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: white;
}
Can someone explain why is this happening and how can I fix it.
Try applying the background-color to the body, and not to the * (Universal Selector). The Universal Selector will apply the background-color to every element on the page, which might be breaking things.
If that doesn't work, make sure the css is linked to the HTML properly.
Example of applying background-color to the body
body {
background-color: #333;
}
/* The above css applies a dark gray background color to the body */
If all of the above doesn't work, add your HTML and CSS so I can help further diagnose the problem.
Good luck!
It should provide the background-color:#000 as you have written. There is no problem in that. Try to write the same as in the <head>...</head> section. So that you confirm, whether the issue is not due to some external-css file you are adding.
Also, this issue seems awkward, as I too tried and the browser is able to map correctly whatever is written in the CSS file.
It doesn't matter if you are taking * selector or any other selector. It doesn't make sense, nor does it affect or overrides your CSS.
I've a Button with the following super simple css:
button {
background: #005eb8;
border: 0;
padding: 0;
color: white;
line-height: 50px;
}
"line-hight" is set to 50px. But the button is (in Firefox) 52px - I expected it to be 50. Is there any reason for that? In chrome the height is 50 as expected...
Code at JSBIN:
http://jsbin.com/jagiviyima/9?html,output
button::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="reset"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="submit"]::-moz-focus-inner {
border: none;
padding:0;
}
Add such css rule.
You ask - is there some reason for that - I believe it is. I don't have Firefox at hand now, but you are using button html element and buttons typically have some default css rules applied to them across the browsers (these are obviously browser specific). My guess is FF is adding some default padding, margin, border or something of that kind to your own defined style. Try setting these to 0 explicitly.
A bit of googling yielded this SO answer which exlains the issue in a more detail, proposed resolution is:
button::-moz-focus-inner,
input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner {
padding: 0 !important;
border: 0 none !important;
}
I'm trying to set a background image for the site I'm building. I know I have to use background: url(); but it doesn't seem to show up whether its in body or a specific div.
body {
/* background: linear-gradient(#2c3e50 75%, #ecf0f1 88%); */
background: url(c:\Users\Saleh\Desktop\Abid\ggbridge960.png);
} /* This is is what it looks like when I add it to body */
.container {
margin: 20px auto 20px auto;
/* border: 2px solid black; */
width: 960px;
height: 1000px;
/* background: url(c:\Users\Saleh\Desktop\Abid\ggbridge960.png) no-repeat; */
} /* this is what it looks like in the div. */
I've tried them both separately not simultaneously.
Do it like this..
body {
background: url(file:///c:/Users/Saleh/Desktop/Abid/ggbridge960.png);
}
background-image:url(images/your_image.png);
width:960px;
height:1000px;
should do the trick :)
Maybe you have a div ahead which is hidden it ?
To make it simple at the beginning you could also try to give a relative path.
A few things to try:
Make sure the image file exists by entering the file path in your browser (c:\Users\Saleh\Desktop\Abid\ggbridge960.png)
If you're linking to the css file from the HTML, make sure it's linked correctly by adding an obvious style to the container and checking whether it gets applied.
Use this syntax:
body {background-image:url('c:\Users\Saleh\Desktop\Abid\ggbridge960.png');}
also noticed that you're using back-slashes instead of forward slashes - maybe try:
c:/Users/Saleh/Desktop/Abid/ggbridge960.png
I'm trying to take away a white border that is appearing from behind an image on my sidebar. I can't figure out what is causing the white border. I thought it was the padding, and then I thought it was the border. If you visit our home page (http://noahsdad.com/) and look on the side bar under the "new normal" picture you will see a "Reece's Rainbow" image. I'm trying to remove that white around the image. I pasted in the code below, but it's not doing anything. Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
#text-23 { background: none}
the reason it's not working is the background: none is never getting to the img which has the background set on it (backgrounds don't cascade down they exist in the element and you can have multiple elements layered on top of each other much like a painting. Which has the effect of the background cascading)
#text-23 img { background: none; }
that should resolve your problems. I am assuming that when you call the class textwidget you still want it to append the white background, just not for this instance. So if you set the above it will cascade properly with the correct specificity while leaving the rest of your page alone.
This can also be done by
#text-23 .textwidget img { background: none; }
but that level of specificity is not required. However if you try to just do:
.textwidget img { background: none; }
this will override all of the instances where the background is set on an image in the textwidget container.
You have added the white border yourself by setting the following in line 884 of style.css:
.textwidget img {
background: #fff;
padding: 5px;
max-width: 290px;
}
Simply remove the background declaration. If you only want to remove this instance of a white border, add the following rule:
#text-23 .textwidget img {
background: none;
}
This seems to be the conflicting CSS class.
.textwidget img {
background: white;
padding: 5px;
max-width: 290px;
}
If you want to debug css you should really look into Firebug(a plugin for Firefox) or Opera and use builtin dragonfly
These allow you to rightclick on your HTML page and inspect it.
Go to your style.css file and search for .textwidget img and change the background-color property to none. It is currently set to #FFFFFF which is the hex color code for white and is resulting in the white border or background (precisely).
.textwidget img {
background-color: none;
}
This question was asked before but the solution is not applicable in my case. I want to make sure certain background images are printed because they are integral to the page. (They are not images directly in the page because there are several of them being used as CSS sprites.)
Another solution on that same question suggests using list-style-image, which only works if you have a different image for every icon, no CSS sprites possible.
Aside from creating a separate page with the icons inline, is there another solution?
With Chrome and Safari you can add the CSS style -webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; to the element to force print the background color and/or image
Browsers, by default, have their option to print background-colors and images turned off. You can add some lines in CSS to bypass this.
Just add:
* {
-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact !important; /* Chrome, Safari 6 – 15.3, Edge */
color-adjust: exact !important; /* Firefox 48 – 96 */
print-color-adjust: exact !important; /* Firefox 97+, Safari 15.4+ */
}
I found a way to print the background image with CSS. It's a bit dependent on how your background is laid out, but it seems to work for my application.
Essentially, you add the #media print to the end of your stylesheet and change the body background slightly.
Example, if your current CSS looks like this:
body {
background:url(images/mybg.png) no-repeat;
}
At the end of your stylesheet, you add:
#media print {
body {
content:url(images/mybg.png);
}
}
This adds the image to the body as a "foreground" image, thus making it printable.
You may need to add some additional CSS to make the z-index proper. But again, its up to how your page is laid out.
This worked for me when I couldn't get a header image to show up in print view.
You have very little control over a browser's printing methods. At most you can SUGGEST, but if the browser's print settings have "don't print background images", there's nothing you can do without rewriting your page to turn the background images into floating "foreground" images that happen to be behind other content.
The below code works well for me (at least for Chrome).
I also added some margin and page orientation controls.(portrait, landscape)
<style type="text/css" media="print">
#media print {
body {-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;}
}
#page {
size:A4 landscape;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin: 0;
-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;
}
</style>
Make sure to use the !important attribute. This dramatically increases the likelihood your styles are retained when printed.
#example1 {
background:url(image.png) no-repeat !important;
}
#example2 {
background-color: #123456 !important;
}
Like #ckpepper02 said, the body content:url option works well. I found however that if you modify it slightly you can just use it to add a header image of sorts using the :before pseudo element as follows.
#media print {
body:before { content: url(img/printlogo.png);}
}
That will slip the image at the top of the page, and from my limited testing, it works in Chrome and the IE9

Use psuedo-elements. While many browsers will ignore background images, psuedo-elements with their content set to an image are technically NOT background images. You can then position the background image roughly where the image should have gone (though it's not as easy or precise as the original image).
One drawback is that for this to work in Chrome, you need to specify this behavior outside of your print media query, and then make it visible in the print media query block. So, something like this...
.image:before{
visibility:hidden;
position:absolute;
content: url("your/image/path");
}
#media print {
.image{
position:relative;
}
.image:before{
visibility:visible;
top:etc...
}
}
The drawback is that the image will often be downloaded on normal page loads, adding unnecessary bulk. You can avoid that by just using the same image/path you'd already used for the original, visible image.
it is working in google chrome when you add !important attribute to background image
make sure you add attribute first and try again, you can do it like that
.inputbg {
background: url('inputbg.png') !important;
}
Browsers, by default, have their option to print background-colors and images turned off. You can add some lines in CSS to bypass this. Just add:
* {
-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact !important; /* Chrome, Safari */
color-adjust: exact !important; /*Firefox*/
}
Note: It's not working on the entire body but you could speciy it for a inner element or a container div element.
You can use borders for fixed colors.
borderTop: solid 15px black;
and for gradient background you can use:
box-sizing: border-box;
border-style: solid;
border-top: 0px;
border-left: 0px;
border-right: 0px;
border-image: linear-gradient(to right, red, blue) 100%;
border-image-slice: 1;
border-width: 18px;
https://gist.github.com/danomanion/6175687 proposes an elegant solution, using a custom bullet in place of a background image. In this example, the aim is to apply a background image to an a element with class logo. (You should substitute these for the identifier of the element you wish to style.)
a.logo {
display: list-item;
list-style-image: url("../images/desired-background.png");
list-style-position: inside;
}
By including this within a
#media print {
}
block, I'm able to replace a white-on-transparent logo on the screen, rendered as a background-image, with a black-on-transparent logo for print.
You can do some tricks like that:
<style>
#page {
size: 21cm 29.7cm;
size: landscape
/*margin: 30mm 45mm 30mm 45mm;*/
}
.whater{
opacity: 0.05;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 9999;
}
</style>
In body tag:
<img src="YOUR IMAGE URL" class="whater"/>
