I am using HTML and CSS to create a webpage. I want to create buttons that are of a .gif file that I already have. I am using div to place items in the page itself. How do I use the image, and also use the rollover features so that the image changes to a different image I have that is a different color.
Thanks.
Changing the image url works, but can be a nuisance if the images are not preloaded or the user's cache is disabled.
Check out sprites FTW.

A quick definition of a sprite is a large image, containing several smaller images. So a 10x20 image, with the normal state being the upper 10x10, and the hover state being the lower 10x10. The user only sees the upper 10x10 due to the CSS:
.button
{
display: block;
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
background-image: url(to-image.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
}
then on hover, it shifts to the bottom part of the image
.button:hover
{
background-position: bottom left;
}
Make the button element a fixed size, and set the .gif file as the element background in CSS. Then you can use a :hover class on the element to change the image. Here I'm using an "A" tag so it works on IE6.
<a class="button"></a>
.button {
display: block;
background-image: url(default.gif);
width: 100px;
height: 20px;
}
.button:hover {
background-image: url(hover.gif);
}

I've been trying to set a background image to a div in css i.e.
React.createElement("div", {className: "icon"})
.icon {
background: url("../images/icons/icon.png") 0 0 no-repeat;
}
Nothing seems to be displaying. I've also verified that the image is in the correct location.
However, when I set .icon to display: list-item i.e.
.icon {
display: list-item;
background: url("../images/icons/icon.png") 0 0 no-repeat;
}
the image appears on the page. Is there any reason why display-list item works, but nothing else will? is there a way to get the background image working without having to use display: list-item?
It depends: Does your .icon DIV have any content?
Because, if a DIV doesn't contain anything, it has no size (i.e. height zero), so you wouldn't see a background-image.
However, a li by default is always at least one line high (i.e. the line-height that's defined for it) and 100% wide, even if there is no content, so you'll see a background-image...
Try something like the following;
Create a div with the following css code:
div {
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
background-image: url("INSERT URL HERE");
background-size: contain;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
That should create a perfect square on the page with the image you post between the quotations as its background.
I am using the Electoral template from ThemeForest here, this is the original template. I am trying to use CSS to fade out the edges of the blue image to the right, however the change is affecting the entire container. I've changed the background color to reflect the undesired behavior at the first link.
What I want to do is be able to apply CSS instructions to just the image. This is the section that controls the container:
#hero .q-container {
position: relative;
padding-top: 8%;
background-image: url(../img/sam.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom 30% right 10%;
background-size: 30%;
}
I tried using the following but it didn't work:
#hero .q-container img {
background-color: red;
}
Does anyone have any ideas to fix this? Thanks!
I'm having a problem displaying a small image using CSS. I'm trying to show an icon sized picture (the picture has a few pixel border so it isn't edge to edge) but the image itself isn't centered when it's displayed and part of it is being hidden by the right and bottom shadows of the surrounding box. I like the look of the shadows but I think the image is so small, the shadows of the box can't be ignored in the sizing. Here's my CSS. Any ideas?
.delete_button {
background: url('trash_can.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 20px;
height: 24px;
display: inline;
}
Try this, adjusting the background-position values until your image is positioned correctly:
.delete_button {
background: url('trash_can.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 20px;
height: 24px;
display: inline;
background-position : -3px -4px;
}
Expanding on this a little further, you might want to try to add all your small images into one icon image in a matrix style. Then you can select just the image you want using the width, height and background-position. This will allow all your icons to be loaded at once as a single file, reducing internet traffic. When a "new" icon is needed, it will already be cached and immediately be available.
background-image: url("icons.png");
background-position: 30px 40px; /* Use these values to select your small image contained in your large image */
background-repeat : repeat;
width : 20px; /* or however large your icon is */
height : 24px; /* or however large your icon is */
I am developing a website and the problem is that when I resize the browser (horizontaly), my HOME link from the menu gets broken. It's harder to explain in words what happens, so check it out here: http://www-user.tu-cottbus.de/~carbusor/Red%20Diamond/html/index.html.
The grey background is an image, having the up-right corner cut. After I cut that area, I made the area transparent. So, it is a trapezoid on transparent background.
My question is: what to do to prevent the trapezoid transforming into a rectangle when resizing?
If you want something like that.
Where the diamond is in between the two tabs then you should give particular width to your li elements(All).not use percentages for that. Like this
.menu > li#home {
display: inline;
float: left;
background: none;
background-image: url(../img/home.png);
width: 273px; /* same as your image size */
}
and also to both of your header images
img#logo {
position: absolute;
top: 10px; /* Change it as it sets in the gap */
left: 250px; /* Change it as it sets in the gap */
width: 140px;
height: 90px;
}
Instead of using an image, create the shape you want right in the file. Try this link:

I have an image that looks like this:
Is it possible to extend this image (perhaps inside a div) so that it would look something like this:
Thanks!
You can create a div of the same color using the CSS background-color property (I believe the hex should be ~#999). Then, position the image as a background-image within the div using the background-position: right property.
HTML
<div class="arrow">Home</div>
CSS
#arrow {
background-color: #999;
background-image: url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/QDCz4.png');
background-position: right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
/* sets div dimensions/text styles */
height: 24px;
color: white;
text-align: center;
line-height: 24px;
float: left;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 30px; /* slightly longer to account for background image /*
}
JS Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fbBsz/14/
Get a vertical slice of the gray part of very top left of the arrow with having width:1px. Take that one px slice image and repeat it on -x.
Here is something you can practice with
Since your image does not have a gradient, you have a better chance of matching the color(s) you want with just using background color.
you can set it as a background to a div
#elem {
display:block;
width:200px;
height:20x;
background: url(/filepath/to/image.gif) right top no-repeat #ccc;
}
Just make sure the background color is the same as the dark grey on the gif
No, this is not possible in CSS. You must set the width of the containing element, set the background image's url and set the x-position to right and set the repeat to no-repeat. Then set the background color to the same as the button's foreground color. If the button foreground is a pattern, you will have to use another image as the background.
No, not with that image at least :-)
Looks like you could make use the "sliding doors" technique – see http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors/ for a good article about it
