I am unable to get the background picture to show in my pages. I am trying to do this in the master page using CSS.
I have a CSS which contains the following:
body {
background-image: url(../images/background.jpg) no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
margin-top: 0px;
}
I know the CSS is being read because all other styles defined in it are working on the .aspx pages... except of course the background image, the background remains white. (This works perfectly fine in .php pages by the way.)
I have been searching online like crazy and all the answers I find, say the above CSS code is the answer... but it is not working!
I am using the following:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.30729.1 SP
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.5 SP 1
Firefox Version 3.6.6
If anybody knows how to get this to work, PLEASE let me know!
The CSS background image technique is correct. But have you looked at things in a Http debugger (such as the net monitor in firebug or fiddler) and figured out if your relative pathing isn't screwing the proverbial pooch. Or, CSS paths and ASP.NET and MasterPages sometimes don't quite agree, you probably have an issue of requesting the image from the wrong url so it isn't showing up.
Thanks to Wyatt Barnett I was able to figure it out. I used firebug to edit the CSS file and discovered the problem.
My path was wrong, I changed it from ../images/background.jpg --> ./images/background.jpg
The attribute tag was wrong, I changed it from background-image --> background
I don't know why I did not think to do this with firebug to start with (it is after all why I have it) so thank you Wyatt for the proverbial slap upside the head - I needed it! :o)

After spending a while creating an online portfolio, then uploading it, I noticed an issue with one of my sections. On the "Advertisement" section, I noticed it was not displaying the information, just the title. So, I kept on re-pushing the stylesheet.css, even editing it, and it would still look the same. The HTML, CSS, and JS is working how I wrote it. But it is just the section that is not showing. After browsing online and on stackoverflow for an answer, I believe it has to do with Firefox. When using Firebug, I noticed the section's background has been removed, causing the entire section to "disappear." It works just fine on Chrome. I'm not worried about IE, I know that browser has some issues in itself. Anyway, would anyone on here have an idea to resolve this issue, if I can? Or even, what could be causing this issue?
Here is my website to see for yourselves. www.voelkerdesigner.com

It is the opposite for me your entire site works in firefox for me but not in chrome, looking through your code, its being caused by your naming conventions. Namely #advertise
I use the adguard extension in chrome and below is the css it plugs into my html pages to hide ads, so im guessing your using an adblocker in firefox
#adsense_top, #adsensewide, #adspace, #adspace_top, #adspot-300x250-pos-1, #adspot-300x250-pos-2, #adswidget1-quick-adsense, #adswidget2-quick-adsense, #adtext, #adtop, #adv-masthead, #adv-top, #advert1, #advert2, #advertbox3, #advertise, #advertisement1, #advertisetop, #advertising-container, #advertising_wrapper {
display: none!important;
}
Might as well post a random answer on this... As i wont visit posted links by new users.. i'm just gonna guess that your background image might not be 100%...
In general i use background-image instead of background.. Short hand can be a little pain and breaks in some browsers if not perfect.
so i would compare against the following example
background-image:url('images/mybg.jpg');
background-image:url('http://somesite.com/images/mybg.jpg');
Basically alot of people do not use the url and just go straight for a file name or dont quote it.. And have seen that be the problem in the past, so do use the url('') method.
Otherwise if it still fails to work and you know the image is absolute, you would then have some other css that is either over riding your elements background or is preventing it from loading.
Another trick is using your console / inspect element to manually inject the background-image and see if that works... So once the page has loaded in chrome, inspect the element as normal.. And double click on your css property listing as you can add your own styles this way and if it fails, then its not the markup but something else.
I'm having browser compatibility issue in my UI. In Firefox I'm facing some UI breakage issues, In chrome i don't have any issues.So my team said to try some CSS properties with don't dependent on browser that could be a solution for this.So anyone may know about this?
<li align="center" ng-show="showLoadingIcon">
<img src="app-vrm/img/loader.gif"/>
</li>
This is what the code for that loading mask. If change align from center to right,left or justify .That is working fine in chrome but in Firefox the loading mask is loading always in left side. It should be displayed in the center of the screen
A good starting point is to make sure you're starting from the same point by creating a reset.css file. This file makes sure that for each browser e.g. the margin-top for a P-tag is always 5px. There are plenty of resources on the web
Furthermore, you should have a look at W3Schools table for browser compatibility here.
Last but not least, be aware that some CSS3 tags are not implemented at all yet because they are 'too modern'. Or your browser is too old.
And a good CSS-validator might help. In Google Chrome (or Iron Browser, or Chromium) you can enable the developer tools and look at the console for errors, or install an extension (Web Developer for Firefox together with Firebug). Or if your site is online validate it with W3 CSS validator
Good luck!
I have created a cross-browser centre alignment of image. Main useful thing is img having margin and display property. Please see working solution at this link:
URL: http://codepen.io/krunalv/pen/gborwo
.loadingImage-wrapper li img{
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I fixed this issue........ i changed the code instead of
align="center"
i added
style="text-align:center;"
So this property is working in Firefox as well.
I really want to thank the people who help me to find out the solution.I got many new things from you whenever you are giving some answers.
I've got a very strange bug in chrome recently that is when you load the page first time, or in incognito mode that none of the background images show.
when you then F5 the page, the background images all load in.
When you inspect the css it shows the image url in the css panel, however when you mouse over the url it doesn't display a tool tip with a preview of the image.
Neither when you check the downloaded resources are there even any mention of the background-images downloading.
you then refresh the page and it works fine, tool-tip of the css url even shows a preview.
The bug only randomly happens on first load occasionally, no way to guarantee to reproduce this.
Also its worth to note, it you untick then retick the background-image property on chrome it then downloads and displays the image.
I've got a piece of jquery that solves the issue but as you can see its hardly very elegant!
$('*').each(function(){
var bg = $(this).css('background-image');
$(this).css('background-image', 'none');
$(this).css('background-image', bg);
});
this happens on every instance of windows in multiple versions of chrome.
any ideas would be great! thankyou!
you might be able to see it happen on http://ensa.ac.uk
here is a video demonstration # http://youtu.be/oLTyhk5rXgE
Just to note.
The problem had been solved.
The issue was that the browser downloads all the css background images last. So if you refresh the page before its finished downloading the images, when the page loads again it loads from the cache. but because the images did not fully download they dont show correctly.
First of all, fix these:
backg1round-color: #c7dfe3;
backg1round-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.67);
If images is a subfolder then use
url('images/logo-bg2.jpg');
instead of
url('/images/logo-bg2.jpg');
in main.css
Try this instead. Not tested though;
$('*').each(function(){
var bg = $(this).css('background');
$(this).css('background', 'none');
$(this).css('background', bg);
});
And make relevant changes (ie, background-image to background) in your CSS also.
OR try;
$('*').each(function(){
var bg = $(this).css('background-image');
$(this).css('background-image', 'none');
$(this).css('background-image','url(bg)'); // or try url("bg") i am confused :P
});
From some search and research I came to a conclution;
The way I would tackle this is with classes. Have a separate CSS classes for each of the states, then simply use jQuery to change the class. This would ensure that all of the images are actually downloaded and available when you set the class -- which is where I think Chrome is failing (probably all WebKit browsers would do this)
Change css class as:
#nav
{
background-image: url(../images/logo-bg2.jpg);
height: 180px;
}
Owen,
I still see this problem on the application that I'm working on. I know this is also a hacky solution, but it's a little less hacky than the jquery solution that you had posted. I simply threw a version number based on time after the css include and it
e.g.
" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
I know that this causes the css to never be cached, but I have not found any other solution.
I'm having a problem where I have a background image that will show up perfectly fine when I'm using it in dreamweaver, but once I upload my site and the CSS files and everything it won't show.
Here's my CSS code:
.ELSsubbg {
background-image: url('../images/NTG_images.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:top left;
}
Any help would be great.
Because you are using a relative path in your CSS, where the stylesheet is looking for the image may be different than where you are seeing it when you go to it directly in the browser.
Try using an absolute path to your images directory instead of a relative one. Assuming you can see the image in your browser at http://www.website-name.com/images/NTG_images.jpg try removing the dots to make the path absolute from the root of your website.
background-image: url('/images/NTG_images.jpg');
Have you uploaded the image? Have you uploaded it to the right place? Is the CSS looking for it where you think it should be?
The easiest way to answer these questions is to use the browser's developer tools (eg Firebug) to watch the network traffic your page generates. Look for the request where it tries to load the graphic. Is it giving a 404 error? Probably.
If you are getting a 404, look at the URL it's calling to find out why. The answer should become clear.
The boss wants the master page's menu to look nicer. I generated my gradient file with one of the tools available on the net, no problem there..
I tried to make a CSS class for each menu item but when I use the background-image directive and the style builder, I get a line like:
background-image: url('file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Username/My Documents/Visual Studio 2008/WebSites/ThisSite/Images/Gradient.png')
...when what I want is
background-image: url('~/Images/Gradient.png')
The first url will, of course, only work when I'm debugging on my local machine - deploy this and I'm hosed. So many other ASP.NET objects work with "~/" to indicate the top-level directory of the website but my css file doesn't like it and I can't set a background image for the menu control or the menu items - seems like a GLARING omission when I can do it to so many other controls.
What am I missing?
The url in your CSS needs to be an absolute (or relative) url and not use the tilde mapping as it is not a server-side component.
background-image: url( "/images/menu.jpg" );
You're almost there... try this:
.menuStyle
{
background-image: url('/images/BG.gif'); /* Putting a slash in front means its relative to the root. No slash would be relative to the current directory. */
background-repeat: repeat-x; /* assuming you have a vertical gradient. */
}
Hope that helps.
It's not a glaring omission. Not an omission at all. The tilde is an ASP construct. In your CSS it won't have any meaning.
One "replace all" operation and you're set.
Replace file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Username/My Documents/Visual Studio 2008/WebSites/ThisSite with blank.
I have tried setting the background-image property from CSS in my ASP.Net application (i.e. giving the relative path as described in the post). However, it did not work for me. Later, setting the background-image as background-image:url('http://localhost:1701/Images/BannerTileBackground.gif'); it did work..
Please let me know what is the correct approach, and the reason why it didn't work before.
