In my webpage I have set up an image link/anchor using the following code:
<div class="bg_1">
<div class="Absolute-Center">
<span style="font-size: 50px; color: aqua">in short.</span><br />
LIVE LIFE AT YOUR OWN PACE.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<img src="images/scrolldown.png" width="50" height="50" border="0" />
</div>
</div>
<div style="height: 100vh; background-color: black;" >
<a name="home1"></a>
</div>
However when I run my page this image does not appear to be clickable, nor does it take you anywhere when you click. Any ideas? If it makes any difference the image I am using is mostly transparent.
Edit:
I have narrowed the problem down to being caused by z-index. The CSS code for "bg__1" is as follows:
.bg_1 {
height: 100vh;
position: relative;
z-index: -1;
background-position: center center;
background-size: cover;
background-image: url(http://31.media.tumblr.com/2c3a72acc53b1a78ef3b6c4986604cd2/tumblr_ni0jt8sKlY1sr6759o1_500.gif);
}
Removing the z-index line fixes the problem however I need the z-index for my layout.
It might had happen because of the body element covering your link. Just decrease z-index property of the body element.
Without seeing the layout of the page it is difficult to find the fix.
However, you have few possibilities:
Change your page layout
Remove z-index: -1 from css styles
Find the element which is overlapping your image and add pointer-events: none to it's style. Then, click events will pass through to image.
Change z-index of element which is overlapping the image, and give it lower z-index value
I have found my error. Image links become un-responsive if they are contained in a div or block that has a negative z-index. So instead of making it negative to render below default. Keep its container at default and raise the z-index of those you want it to render behind.

I am attempting to set an image as the background and have it auto-resize and auto-center when the window changes size. Right now I have the auto-resize and auto-center working perfect, but I have no clue how to make it my background image. I had to replace all opening and closing symbols with the PLUS (+) symbol. My current code is as follows:
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="amazing.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" alt="Epoxy Flooring of NY" />
</div>
Any suggestions to make it the background instead of just a picture taking up the whole screen? I need the words on top of it, not under it.
Welcome to the stackoverflow-community :)
Just use the background-image-property instead of an <img>-tag.
<div style="background-image:url('amazing.jpg')">
<!-- your text here -->
</div>
For more information See here and here.
Note:
If you use background-image instead of <img> you will not see anything unless you give the <div> a height, by either filling it with text or/and setting it's height of, for example, 100px.
There is two ways to do it one using the css background img property and the other using the HTML img tag.
https://jsfiddle.net/pdhgLap8/
Basically what you need to add to use background images is
background-image: url("https://i.imgur.com/SebQr4d.jpg");
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
This will set the background image
make it so it is only as large as the div it is in
and make it so it doesn't repeat to fill the div
I have uploaded my page here so that you can see clearly what I am referring to:
http://www.emmasteed.co.uk/new/
The menu section works fine it is the larger button icons at the bottom: Portfolio, Get in touch and About me.
I have hyperlinked these images as you will see in the code however nothing happens when I hover over them or try to click. What am I doing wrong? This is driving me crazy!
<div class="largemenubutton"><img src="images/portfolio.png" alt="Portfolio" border="0" /></div>
<div class="largemenubutton"><img src="images/getintouch.png" alt="Contact me!" border="0" /></div>
<div class="largemenubutton"><img src="images/aboutme.png" alt="About" border="0" /></div>
.largemenubutton {
width:283px;
height:259px;
margin-top:20px;
float:left;
display:block;
text-align:center;
}
Remove the z-index -1 there:
.mainimage {
z-index: -1;
}
For keeping the drop shadow do the following:
<div class="header">
<div class="container">
remove the mainhome width and apply to the container in the css:
.container {
width: 850px;
}
Also use that container for wrapping the same way the main content for the site.
and then for the drop shadow (customize as you please):
.header {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 10px black;
}
This is the fiddle that represents more or less this: http://jsfiddle.net/9q7PX/
Two possible solutions come to mind:
1) Wrap the img element in a div, and wrap that div with your a element.
2) Nix the img element from your DOM, and instead make it a background-image of a div (in CSS). Then wrap that div with your a element.
I have finally managed to figure a way round this. I would like to thank everyone for their answers and advice as without this I probably would never have found this solution. The z-index setting on the previous div was the problem I had to get round.
Basically i created another div tag to contain my large menu buttons and placed this outside of the previous div which held my slider image which was set at z-index -1 as i wanted my image to sit behind a drop shadow above. This then allowed the links on the images to work.
Hope this makes sense and helps anyone else who has this problem.
I am trying to position a loading image in the buttom right of the page, but everything works fine except margin-bottom.
<div id="preload">
<div align="right" style="margin-bottom:40px; margin-right:50px;">
<img src="http://thc-racing.ucoz.com/design/loading.gif" alt="" />
<br>
<a style="color:#00ff24;"><b>Please wait while the page is loading...
<br>If the website doesn't load within one minute please refresh your page!</b>
</a>
</div>
</div>
Can anybody tell me what or how to make it work?
Thanks
It's the nature of margins vs padding. Since margins sit outside of the element, they won't render unless there's another element following. You could use bottom-padding of 1px on the parent; that should trigger the render.
You should assign position absolute and use bottom and right proprietes.
http://jsfiddle.net/7yrUy/
<div id="preload">
<div align="right" style="position:absolute; bottom:40px; right:50px">
<img src="http://thc-racing.ucoz.com/design/loading.gif" alt="" />
<br><a style="color:#00ff24;"><b>Please wait while the page is loading...<br>If the website doesn't load within one minute please refresh your page!</b></a>
</div>
try absolute position and use bottom/right instead of respective margins:
<img src="http://thc-racing.ucoz.com/design/loading.gif" alt="" style="position: absolute; bottom:40px; right:50px;"/>
Here - http://jsfiddle.net/maximua/SKcvr/
If you want it in the bottom right of the page just use this css:
.yourClass {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
If you want to change the amount of pixels change 0 to what you want
I had a case where I needed to add display: inline-block.
I can't explain why this worked, but it did! :-) Hope it helps someone.
Even when set display:block to parents and child divs, the margin bottom may not work. The best thing to solve this, after testing with paddings and big margin top values, is using position:relative; for the parent container, and position:absolute; for the child div. The div and other elements have already the display-block for default, so we don‘t need to declare it, as follows:
.parent{
position:relative;
height: 20rem;
/* A big value for height will help you to see the “margin-bottom” with clarity. */
}
.child{
position:absolute;
bottom:0.25rem;
/* or whatever measurement you want: 1rem, 1em, 15px, etc. Be AWARE that it‘s not “margin-bottom” property; it‘s just “bottom” within the absolute position. */
}
In the HTML just consider:
<header class="parent">
<p>This is your main container which has 20rem of height.</p>
<div class="child">
<p>This text is very close to the bottom.</p>
</div>
</header>
In the CSS I consider only the most relevant properties. You can add colors, backgrounds, font-families and so on, which will not affect the layout. I just coded the key properties to create the “effect margin-bottom”.
Example more fancy.
How can I place only an image in a div as background image, and add url link to it.
Currenty I'm doing it this way:
<div class="image"><img src="books.png" alt="Test" /></div>
I want to do something like following, but its not working (the image does not appear).
<div class="image"><span class="books"></span></div>
Thanks.
Place the background image in the <a> tag if you want it clickable.
your css:
.image a { display: block;
background: url('image.jpg') no-repeat;
height: 50px; /* obviously use the same dimensions as your image */
width: 50px; /* obviously use the same dimensions as your image */
}
<div class="image"> </div>
or better yet, get rid of the div entirely, and just apply the image class directly to a:
<a class="image" href="example.com"> </a>
It's likely it's because the div is empty. Try something like:
<div class="image"><span class="books"> </span></div>
If it's still not showing, set the "image" class to have a background color too, so that you can see how big the div 'thinks' it is.
If you want an image to be in the background you need to set, the style property "z-index:-1", that way, the image will be in the back of the other elements in the same content div
Does it have to be a DIV?
I am writing the style inside you can use it in css file
<a class="image" style="display:block; width: (image-width); height: (image-height); background: url(image-link)"></a>
this will work...
you can use it like this if you need div..
<div class="image" style="width: (image-width); height: (image-height); background: url(image-link)"></div>
Implementing a "play video" function on a web site. Each video content item can have a different image. Each of these images will have the same width, but potentially differing heights (they are resized on upload to maintain aspect ratio to meet standard width requirements).
The plan was to display another transparent "play button" image over top of the content image using markup like this:
<div class="media">
<a class="videoLink" href="#" style="background-image: url(http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/beach2.jpg);" >
<img src="PlayButton.png" alt="Click to Play" height="200" width="300" />
</a>
</div>
This is very similar to how channel 9 does it on their home page. This, however, appears to assume any image is of standard height and width. Are there alternative ways of tackling this?
Forgot to mention originally. We have a predefined width that things will fit into, however, each image may have a different height. For example, the same markup needs to be used to support the following images:
W x H
400 x 200
400 X 300
400 X 400
The Play button needs to be centered in each image.
Instead of the inner element being an <img>, you could make it a <div>, styled with the playbutton as the background image, positioned in the center.
<div class="media">
<a class="videoLink" href="#" style="background-image: url(http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/beach2.jpg);" >
<div style='background:url(PlayButton.png) center center;' alt="Click to Play" height="200" width="300" />
</a>
</div>
You'll still need to know the size of the thumbnail image, as you'll still need to supply height and width for the div - since you're displaying the thumbnail as a background image, you won't be able to have the box scale to the right size automatically. But at least now your code can set the values for height and width without worrying about the shape of the play button getting distorted.
(note: the play button as a background image should probably be in a separate stylesheet rather than being declared inline as per my example; I did it like that to demonstrate how it differs from your original code, rather than to show best practice)
Need some your CSS to make sure things work, but this may help you:
.media {
display: table;
}
.media img {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
If not, please add you CSS so I can Fiddle it and make it happen.
I'd do it like this.
<div class="media">
<a class="videoLink" href="#"></a>
<img class="thumbnail" src="http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/beach2.jpg"/>
</div>
Separate the thumbnail image from the link. We want the link to appear on top of the image, and the image to stretch the height of the <div class="media">.
The CSS:
.media {
position: relative;
}
.videoLink {
display: block;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-image: url(PlayButton.png);
background-position: center center;
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
}
