What I want:
Current Code
<div class="grid3"><h1 class="lines">Welcome!</h1> <p class="lines2">Text</p></div>
.lines { color: #d5a72b; padding-right: 4px; float: left;}
.lines2 { text-indent: -999999px; background: url('../images/line.png') repeat-x; }
What I get:
I'd do it like this:
<h1><span>Heading</span></h1>
h1 {
background-image: url("lines.png") left middle repeat-x; }
h1 span {
background: #bgcolor;
padding: 1em; }
It's a hack, but I don't believe even CSS3 currently has a solution for this problem except possibly border-image, however that still isn't supported by IE10.

I have tried to code my page as follows:
<div class="Conttent-Group">
<div class="Conttent-Group-Body">
<div class="Conttent-Body-Right">
<div class="Conttent-Body-Left">
<h1>News operations</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and although the following css:
* {
background-color: #006;
}
.Conttent-Group {
margin-top: 5px;
height: 300px;
width: 788px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
background: white;
}
.Conttent-Group-Body {
margin-left: 4px;
margin-top: 5px;
width: 386px;
height: 30px;
float: left;
background: url (Image / module-bg-bodynew.jpg) repeat-x top center;
}
.Conttent-Body-Right {
height: 30px;
background: url (image / module-bg-rightnew.jpg) top right no-repeat;
}
.Conttent-Body-Left {
background: url (image / module-bg-leftnew.jpg) top left no-repeat;
height: 30px;
}
.Conttent-Body-Left div {
background: #fff;
border:> 1px solid # C6B389;
border-top: none;
padding: 0;
margin-top: 7 pixels;
height: 243px;
}
.Conttent-Body-Left h1 {
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 20px 0 0 7 pixels;
text-align: left;
font-weight: bold;
color: # E1F1FE;
font-size: 13px;
}
But when running my code I only see the background-color
* { background-color: # 006; }
And not the background-images I have set. How can I fix this and show the images?
Currently you are using * {background-color: #006}. The * selector targets every element, thats on your side, thats why every background color is the same.
When you are using an image as background, first of all look up its file path:
/index.html
/style.css
/images/
/images/picture1.jpg
/images/picture2.jpg
If you want to target an picture, you always have to choose the file path regarding to your css file. So in this case for example your path is images/picture1.jpg. Although be aware of uppercase and lowercase letters inside your file structure (like Images or images) or not wanted spaces.
Using this you can set your background-image, and although add multiple variables, like:
background-image: url(images/picture1.jpg); /* no spaces inside your url */
background-repeat: no-repeat; /* or "repeat-x", "repeat-y" */
background-size: cover; /* for a fullscreen background */
background-color: #fff /* for everything your background images does not cover */
/* or combine them all into one */
background: url(images/picture1.jpg) no-repeat top center;
Furthermore you have got quite a lot of errors inside your code. Maybe you should consider refreshing the basics, using online helpers like codeacademy or something else you will find.
Is there a way to display a line next to a header using CSS? Here's an image of what I'm talking about:
I could do it with a static background image, but that'd require custom CSS for every heading. And I could do some hacky stuff using :after and background colors on the h1, but it wouldn't look right against a gradient background.
I'd like to do this with CSS, not JavaScript. If it doesn't work in older browsers, that's fine.
UPDATE:
In the past I've done something like this:
<h1><span>Example Text</span></h1>
h1 {background-image:url("line.png");}
h1 span {background-color:#FFF;dislpay:inline-block;padding-right:10px}
While that works, it's hacky, and it doesn't work well with gradient backgrounds, because the span has to have a solid background color.
What I'm really looking for is something like this:
<h1>Example Text</h1>
h1 {background-image:url("line.png");} /* but don't appear under the example text */
I misspoke about the :after thing in the original post, I was thinking of another issue I had in the past.
You could do something like the following:
HTML
<div class="border">
<h1>Hello</h1>
</div>
CSS
h1 {
position: relative;
bottom: -17px;
background: #fff;
padding-right: 10px;
margin: 0;
display: inline-block;
}
div.border {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}
Here is the JsFiddle to the above code.
After doing some more research, I think I found the best solution:
h2 {
color: #F37A1F;
display: block;
font-family: "Montserrat", sans-serif;
font-size: 24px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 25px;
margin: 0;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
h2:after {
background: url("../images/h2.png") repeat-x center;
content: " ";
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
}
h2 > span {
display: table-cell;
padding: 0 9px 0 0;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Modified from: How can I make a fieldset legend-style "background line" on heading text?
It still requires some extra markup, unfortunately, but it's the most minimal that I've found. I'll probably just write some jQuery to add the span automatically to the h2s.
Here is one way of doing it.
Start with the following HTML:
<h1>News<hr class="hline"></h1>
and apply the following CSS:
h1 {
background-color: tan;
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.hline {
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
border: none;
}
.hline:after {
content: '';
border-top: 1px solid blue;
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
See demo at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/Dsa9R/
You can repurpose the hr element to add the line after the text.
The advantage here is that you don't have to wrap the text with some other element.
Note: You can rewrite the CSS selectors and avoid declaring a class name and save a bit of typing.
I use the CSS Sprite Technique with a background image that looks something like this:
The CSS code for the icons:
div.icon {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url("/images/icons.png");
background-position: 0 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
display: inline-block;
height: auto;
vertical-align: text-top;
width: auto;
}
div.icon:empty {
width:16px;
height:16px;
}
div.icon:not(:empty) {
padding-left:20px;
}
div.icon.attenuation {
background-position: 0 0;
}
My icons can be used like this:
<div class="icon warning"></div>
I want to put some text inside my icons like:
<div class="icon warning">There is a warning on this page</div>
But the problem is that the background image covers the entire text area:
The question is: how can I use only part of an image as a background image for part of my element?
Notes:
setting width to 16px for div.icon doesn't help.
Remember, where ever possible, you shouldn't change your markup just to achieve a design. It is possible using your markup.
div.icon:before {
content: "";
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url("/images/icons.png");
display: inline-block;
height: 16px;
vertical-align: text-top;
width: 16px;
}
div.icon:not(:empty):before {
margin-right: 4px;
}
div.icon.attenuation {
background-position: 0 0;
}
You have two ways:
1)Your markup must be like this:
<div class="icon warning"></div><div class="txt">There is a warning on this page</div>
.icon {width:10px(for ex.)}
2)You must change the image. Icons in the image must be below the another
Sorry, my previous answer was not well though out.
Edit:
If you have a 16px padding, you should set the width to 0, not 16px. And I've got troubles getting the :not(:empty) bit to work on all browsers; better get rid of it. So the CSS becomes:
.icon {
...
width:0; height:16px; padding-left:16px;
}
.icon:empty {
width:16px; padding-left:0;
}
jsFiddle
set width: 16px; height: 16px; overflow: hidden; text-indent: -9999em; and remove padding
I was reading an article and just wonder how the arrows as shown in the picture below are inserted. I viewed the html source and there was nothing there.
How to insert arrows just like that?
They are background-images.
#content .bodytext a.external { padding-right: 7px; background: transparent url(/img/extlink.gif) no-repeat top right; }
They are using this CSS
#content .bodytext a.external {
background: url("/img/extlink.gif") no-repeat scroll right top transparent;
padding-right: 7px;
}
And the link is this
http://www.informationweek.c<wbr></wbr>om/news/windows/operatingsys<wbr></wbr>tems/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=208800494
The CSS is to find an element with id="content". Then find it's children with class="bodytext". Now for each child find anchor tag with class="external" and apply the background image to it.
They are set using CSS background images and classes on the elements.
For example the grey arrow for external links is associated with the class external on anchors. You should be able to check the other arrows by inspecting the elements using the developer tools in your browser e.g. FireBug in FireFox.
In relation to above link from Duniyadnd - which I found very interesting, a quick solution for internal links could be:
a[href*="here"] {
padding-right: 7px; background: transparent url(/img/intlink.gif) no-repeat top right; }
What the above code does is look for any links with the word 'here' in them and then stick an arrow indicating 'internal'. That would of course mean you would have to refer to all internal links as 'here', or run up a couple more rules. You could then change the rule to suit external links as well:
a[href ^='http'] {
padding-right: 7px; background: transparent url(/img/extlink.gif) no-repeat top right; }
It's an image, styled that way with css. As you can see the hyperlink has a class='external' and class='internal'

I am currently working on an HTML5 form and using CSS3 for the styling. I have added CSS for input:required and input:valid and input:invalid to make an image get shown inside the text box.
Both the required and invalid CSS work fine but for some reason input:valid gets ignored and is just replaced with the same image as input:required.
Below is the CSS that I have used
input:required.fields, textarea:required.fields, select:required.fields
{
background:url("images/asterix.png") no-repeat;
background-position: right;
width: 200px;
background-color: white;
}
input:focus:required:invalid.fields, textarea:focus:invalid.fields, select:focus:invalid.fields
{
background:url("images/error.png") no-repeat;
background-position: right;
width: 200px;
background-color: white;
opacity: 1.0;
}
Both CSS sections above work fine without any problems but its the CSS below that for some reason is not working.
input:valid.fields, textarea:required:valid.fields, select:value.fields
{
background:url("images/tick.png");
background-position: right;
width: 200px;
background-color: white;
opacity: 1.0;
}
In case it was to do with the image not being found I made the invalid image be the tick.png image and this worked fine but the valid section never seems to get called.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
I just used the following on my form:
input[required]:invalid {
background: #efdee0 url(../images/invalid.png) no-repeat center right;
}
input[required]:valid {
background: #f3f8ed url(../images/valid.png) no-repeat center right;
}
but then my fields are all required (http://www.paul-ellis.co.uk/contact.htm)
