Building a Product Box using images w/ CSS - html

I designed a very basic looking box in Photoshop that I would like to use to show product information inside of. It basically consists of a Header, Body and Button (each a separate image) that look like the image below.
How can I use CSS/HTML to piece these together? I just need to show header text in the top box and bullet points in the body area, but not sure how to actually build this from the image files.
I know the HTML will look as such, I am just confused as to how to actually build the box, such as stacking the images and overlaying the button in that position over the body.
<div id="product_box">
<div id="header">Title Here</div>
<div id="body">
<ul>
<li>Point here</li>
<li>Point here</li>
<li>Point here</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="button></div>
</div>

Well Have a look at:

You don't have to change your html markup just use css:
Here is relevant CSS:

And Here is output of that:
EDIT
According to your comment here is updated code:
http://jsfiddle.net/2A2Fn/5/
and its output:
Hope it helps.

It can be done using only HTML/CSS.
Use CSS gradient for it.
Here is the DEMO

Seeing your CSS code would help. This is how I would achieve what you want:
Set a div element to the desired height of the box. Apply a border and border-radius property as desired, probably 2 px border and a radius of 10-15 px.
Take the header image, and crop it down to 1 pixel wide (for memory conservation). Then set a div element and use this 1pixel wide image as the background, repeat x, but not y. Set the height of the header to the height of the gradient image.
Then, make another div inside the container div. Take your second gradient image and again reduce it to a 1 pixel width. Set it as the background for this div with repeat-x. You'll have to set the height of the header div to the difference of the height of the header and the height of the container.
Your button can then be placed as a link, probably in another div element.
All this can be coded something like as follows:
CSS:
div.container
{
height: 400px;
width: 300px;
border: 2px solid #000;
border-radius: 12px;
}
div.header
{
background-image: url("header-grad.ext");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
height: 40px;
width: 100%;
}
div.content
{
background-image: url("content-grad.ext");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
height: 360px;
width: 100%;
}
And the HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="header">text here</div>
<div class="content"><\div>
<div class="button></div>
</div>
This should do what you want. You'll need to specify the button CSS as well which I didn't do as I'm on mobile right now.
Hope this helps you!

Display image on a gradient background on hover via css

I have this background:
.background:hover {
background: #F4F4F4 url(../images/arrow_down_over.gif) no-repeat right;
}
that I would like to change into a gradient like this one :
.background:hover{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #f4f4f4 0%, #eeeeee 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#f4f4f4), color-stop(100%,#eeeeee)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #f4f4f4 0%,#eeeeee 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #f4f4f4 0%,#eeeeee 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #f4f4f4 0%,#eeeeee 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #f4f4f4 0%,#eeeeee 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#f4f4f4', endColorstr='#eeeeee',GradientType=0 );
} /* IE6-9 */
But I would like to keep the arrow image. I can't find a way to do it. I did try something like this:
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #f4f4f4 0%, #eeeeee 100%) url(../images/arrow_down_over.gif) no-repeat right; /* FF3.6+ */
or add this after the gradient properties but without any success.
background: url(../images/arrow_down_over.gif) no-repeat right;
I can't add another class so I have to deal with this CSS. Any idea how to do it?
You may try:
background: url(../images/arrow_down_over.gif), linear-gradient(...);
Multiple backgrounds must be comma-separated rather than space-separated, and they weirdly stack from top to bottom.
Also note that this is not necessarily supported by all browsers.
See http://css-tricks.com/stacking-order-of-multiple-backgrounds/ and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Using_multiple_backgrounds for details

Two background colors (Horizontal)

I'am wondering If It's possible to have two different colors in the background, expanding 100% with bootstrap, en each side.
Here is a screenshot of what i mean,
Red on the left side, dark on the right side, expanding 100% for bigger screens. Any easy solutions for this?
There are a couple ways to do this. The best way uses pseudo-elements. You'd apply one color to the <body>, and the second color to a created :after element.
HTML:
<body>
<main>
<p>This is my first paragraph.</p>
<p>This is my second paragraph.</p>
Page continues...
CSS:
body {
background-color:rgb(155,155,155);
}
body:after {
top:0;
left:0;
width:40%;
height:100%;
position:absolute;
z-index:-1;
background-color:rgb(239,0,0);
content:"";
}
main {
width:80%;
margin:0 auto;
background-color:white;
min-height:400px;
padding:20px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Q66Xn/3/
This answer produces the cleanest code. Disadvantages: Limited IE8 support, no IE7 support. If you need to use those two browsers, then see the next option:
Give the <body> the same background color of one side, then instead of using :after to create a pseudo-element, we just create a real element.
HTML:
<body>
<div id="bgleft"></div>
<main>
<p>This is my first paragraph.</p>
<p>This is my second paragraph.</p>
Page continues...
CSS:
body {
background-color:rgb(155,155,155);
}
#bgleft {
top:0;
left:0;
width:40%;
height:100%;
position:absolute;
z-index:-1;
background-color:rgb(239,0,0);
}
main {
width:80%;
margin:0 auto;
background-color:white;
min-height:400px;
padding:20px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Q66Xn/4/
The produces exactly the same as the first method. The advantage is higher browser compatibility, with a disadvantage of a little bit more code.
Finally, you could use a gradient attached to the body. This will give both colors on the single body element, saving extra HTML, but it'll by a nasty set of CSS to support all browsers:
body {
background: rgb(239,0,0); /* Old browsers */
/* IE9 SVG, needs conditional override of 'filter' to 'none' */
background: url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,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);

Disadvantages: Complex CSS which is difficult to easily edit later on.
You're issue isn't related to bootstrap specific, as Ollie stated.
Some of your options are, using a gradient, or a sliver (a 1px width/height image, which you repeat on which ever axis).
I find using a gradient generator works quite well for most of my new projects I need to startup. I've attached an example for you to try.

You will struggle to do this using only bootstrap.
You could achieve the result you are after using linear gradients: http://codepen.io/ollieRogers/pen/snjkw this would need a fallback for browsers that do not support gradient bgs.
body{

background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, color-stop(0%,#49191a), color-stop(30%,#49191a), color-stop(30%,#53cbf1), color-stop(100%,#53cbf1)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */

How do I make buttons stay active rather than revert to normal state?

I want touchscreen buttons that stay depressed while the page is active rather than revert to normal state.
Is there a simple solution to this?
Ie, you're on the main page, there are three buttons, you press a button, it takes you to the new page and shades a different color.
The code I'm working with looks like this:
HTML:
<input type="button" value="Name" class="Class" onclick="location.href='#';">
CSS:
.class {display:inline;border:solid #000 3px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;padding:10px;font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial;font-size:16px;font-weight:600;
color:#fff; -webkit-border-radius: 0.5em; -moz-border-radius: 0.5em; border-radius: 0.5em;
background: #aaa; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #636363 0%, #ffffff 4%, #000000 75%, #ffff00 97%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#636363), color-stop(4%,#ffffff), color-stop(75%,#000000), color-stop(97%,#ffff00)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #636363 0%,#ffffff 4%,#000000 75%,#ffff00 97%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #636363 0%,#ffffff 4%,#000000 75%,#ffff00 97%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #636363 0%,#ffffff 4%,#000000 75%,#ffff00 97%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #636363 0%,#ffffff 4%,#000000 75%,#ffff00 97%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#636363', endColorstr='#ffff00',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
}
.class:active {background: #bababa; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #bababa 1%, #636363 69%, #000000 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(1%,#bababa), color-stop(69%,#636363), color-stop(100%,#000000)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #bababa 1%,#636363 69%,#000000 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #bababa 1%,#636363 69%,#000000 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #bababa 1%,#636363 69%,#000000 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #bababa 1%,#636363 69%,#000000 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#bababa', endColorstr='#000000',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
}
What i would do is assign some sort off 'active' class to the link (eather on the server side, of by using some javascript), and give it the same styling as your hover state. Something like this:
#menu a:hover, #menu a.active {
background: #[PressedStateColor];
}
You could add the 'active' class with some easy javascript (jQuery) like this:
// when the dom is ready
$(document).ready(function() {
// for each of the links in the #menu
$('#menu a').each(function() {
// if the href of the link matches the one for the current page
if ($(this).attr('href') == window.location.href) {
// add the class 'active' to the link
$(this).addClass('active');
}
});
});
Note that this is not foolproof, it will only work on simple url's. Personally I would go for a server side solution.
To demonstrate, I set up a little fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/RyHse/

Same line div tags

Sorry to ask such a stupid question, but it's been quite a long night and I cannot seem to get my code to display the divs on the same line.
I've searched all over Stack Overflow and none of the answers has helped. It might be a very stupid mistake I have done but I haven't noticed it.

#sameline {
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.hbox, .mbox {
box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box; /* Firefox */
display:inline-block;
}
Add float:left to both .mbox and .hbox.
I take it you need the two divs inside <div class="sameline"> to appear next to each other
so a css rule like
.hbox, .mbox {float:left}
Should do it
Just add .sameline div {float: left;}.
(BTW, try to avoid posting PHP when asking CSS/HTML questions, as it makes it harder to read/interpret the code‚though not too difficult here. Get the HTML from your browser's source code, if necessary.)
Also note that sameline is a class, so this won't work unless you change the # to a .:
#sameline {
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
}
if you add float: left; to .mbox and .hbox it should work.
Example here.

Div going beyond the background color

What I want to do is that the background color will remain the same no matter how big the screen resolution is for the reader. I created a div where its height is set to auto.
.news-box{
margin-top:5%;
border-radius:6px;
background-color: #EEE;
border: 1px solid #EEE;
margin-left: 24%;
height:auto;
width:620px;
}
This how it looks like
And this my CSS rule for the whole html
I am using this body css rule. for my gradient
CSS RULE FOR THE WHOLE PAGE
html
{
height:100%;
}
THIS COMES BEFORE THE .news-box class
body
{
background: rgb(125,126,125); /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(125,126,125,1) 39%, rgba(14,14,14,1) 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(39%,rgba(125,126,125,1)), color-stop(100%,rgba(14,14,14,1))); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(125,126,125,1) 39%,rgba(14,14,14,1) 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, rgba(125,126,125,1) 39%,rgba(14,14,14,1) 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(125,126,125,1) 39%,rgba(14,14,14,1) 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(125,126,125,1) 39%,rgba(14,14,14,1) 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#7d7e7d', endColorstr='#0e0e0e',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
}
This how the page looks like without the Div
Any way to fix this?
