HTML table with rounded corners and gradient background - html

I have a table with some CSS to style the table with rounded corners and a gradient background in the first row (for column headings) but come of the gradient is overflowing outside the rounded corner despite me specifying overflow: hidden;
HTML:
<table id="tblIncidentQueue" class="DataTable">
<tr class="TableHeaderFooter">
<td colspan="5">
<strong>Show </strong>
<asp:DropDownList ID="drpNumOfResults" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Text = "10" Value="10" ></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text = "20" Value="20" ></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text = "50" Value="50" ></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text = "100" Value="100" ></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text = "All" Value="All" ></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<strong> entries</strong>
</td>
<td align="right">
<img src="../images/Icons/Refresh.png" border="0" />
<img src="../images/Icons/Down.png" border="0" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS:
.DataTable
{
margin: 10px;
-moz-border-radius : 10px; /* Firefox */
-webkit-border-radius : 10px; /* Safari & Chrome */
-khtml-border-radius : 10px; /* Linux browsers */
border-radius : 10px; /* CSS3 compatible browsers */
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #cccccc;
padding: 0px;
border-spacing: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.TableHeaderFooter
{
background: #eeeeee; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee 0%, #cccccc 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#eeeeee), color-stop(100%,#cccccc)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee 0%,#cccccc 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee 0%,#cccccc 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee 0%,#cccccc 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #eeeeee 0%,#cccccc 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#eeeeee', endColorstr='#cccccc',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
overflow: hidden;
}
Any help greatly appreciated!

You have to set property border-radius for those td elements in TableHeaderFooter.
.TableHeaderFooter td:first-child {
border-radius : 10px 0px 0px 10px; /* rounds the top and bottom left corner */
}
.TableHeaderFooter td:last-child {
border-radius : 0px 10px 10px 0px; /* rounds the top and bottom right corner */
}
Now you shouldn't see any overflowing backgrounds e.g. gradients (note that overflow property is useless in this case)
I hope it helps

Put all your background code from .TableHeaderFooter into .DataTable.
The edges will disappear.
.DataTable {
margin: 10px;
-moz-border-radius : 10px; /* Firefox */
-webkit-border-radius : 10px; /* Safari & Chrome */
-khtml-border-radius : 10px; /* Linux browsers */
border-radius : 10px; /* CSS3 compatible browsers */
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #cccccc;
padding: 0px;
border-spacing: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
background: #eeeeee; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee 0%, #cccccc 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#eeeeee), color-stop(100%,#cccccc)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee 0%,#cccccc 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee 0%,#cccccc 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee 0%,#cccccc 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #eeeeee 0%,#cccccc 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#eeeeee', endColorstr='#cccccc',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
}
.TableHeaderFooter {

img on submit button - that is responsive

I want this
on a submit button so I gave it as a background.
I'm doing the page responsive so I gave it the next css :
#button1{
background: url('../images/button1.png') no-repeat;
margin-top:-270px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-right: 2%;
width: 25%;
position:relative;
right:2.5%;
}
but when the page get smaller the image get cut.
How can I solve this problem?
If you have or can get/crop out the arrow and the barcode separately as transparent PNGs or GIFs, you can do this:
#button1 {
background: rgba(204,204,204,1);/* Old Browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(204,204,204,1) 0%, rgba(102,102,102,1) 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, rgba(204,204,204,1)), color-stop(100%, rgba(102,102,102,1)));/* Chrome, Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(204,204,204,1) 0%, rgba(102,102,102,1) 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, rgba(204,204,204,1) 0%, rgba(102,102,102,1) 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(204,204,204,1) 0%, rgba(102,102,102,1) 100%); /* IE 10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(204,204,204,1) 0%, rgba(102,102,102,1) 100%);/* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#cccccc', endColorstr='#666666', GradientType=0 );/* IE6-9 */
position: relative;
border: 0;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#button1:after,
#button1:before {
display: inline-block;
content: url('img/button-barcode.png');
margin: .5em;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#button1:before {
content: url('img/button-arrow.png');
}
The code employs pseudo elements ::before and ::after to put the arrow and the barcode into the <button> and the button will be responsive that way.
P.S. Works only on <button> tags, not on the button type of <input>!

css how to center this content

I have made a fiddle for my problem.
This is it
http://jsfiddle.net/8Kx8c/
This is the result of my code:
I need to do two things:
First, center all the content inside the div with the border. I mean this div <div id="agentsLegend">
Second, center the text to be in the center of the circle. the text exist in this code:
<span class="oneLegend">
<div class="breakLegend oneAgentLegent"></div>
Break
</span>
I tried:
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
but the content is not centered.
you need to set vertical-align to .oneAgentLegent as well.
And eventually set a line-height to #agentsLegend.
DEMO
#agentsLegend {
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius:10px;
display:inline-block;
margin-top:5px;
height:38px;
line-height:30px;/* tune baseline height here */
padding-left:5px;
padding-right:5px;
}
.oneLegend {
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
}
.oneAgentLegent {
border-radius:50%;
width:20px;
height: 20px;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;/* make this to vertical-align:middle to text aside */
}
To center your inline-boxe: use text-align:center on parent.
DEMO 2
body {
text-align:center;/* parent of your box in fiddle demo */
}
edit , if you want to use display:table instead, add display:table-cell to span , so it easily vertical center content : http://jsfiddle.net/8Kx8c/9/
I've done a few changes to the css. These should help you fix your issue.
Reduced the height and added padding top to #agentsLegend element.
height:28px; padding-top:9px;
Changed vertical-align:middle; to vertical-align:top; in .oneLegend element.
Added line-height: 20px; to .oneLeged element.
FIDDLE
You can accomplish this by using a combination of vertical-align on the children with line-height set on the parent for the vertical aligning, and setting display:table; and margin:0 auto on the parent to center horizontally.

You can change some properties like :
#agentsLegend {
display: table;
}
.oneLegend {
display:table-cell;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/8Kx8c/1
You need to add only line-height:38px; on #agentsLegend and vertical-align:middle; on class oneLegend
#agentsLegend {
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius:10px;
display:inline-block;
margin-top:5px;
height:38px;
line-height:38px; /*Addded line*/
padding-left:5px;
padding-right:5px;
}
.oneLegend {
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle; /*Addded line*/
}
Here is the Fiddle link.
http://jsfiddle.net/DUgKb/19/
You cannot have a span wrapping a div. It was not working since a span is not a block element.
Add a wrapping div to center everything.
.center {
text-align: center;
}
vertical align the icons
#agentsLegend {
display: inline-block;
padding: 5px;
}
.oneAgentLegent, .oneLegend {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}

IE gradient darker than expected

I'm having problems with a gradient in IE, it is not being displayed as I hoped it would.
I have created a grey gradient button which becomes slightly darker as you hover over it. There are no problems with the way it's displayed in firefox or chrome, it seems to only be an internet explorer problem.

IE support for CSS is a nightmare for developers and perhaps worst in case of gradients.

I have a master page with some CSS for a background and am also using a another div to give a content box around what I wish to place on the page. However when I scale the content div to say 1000px the background div doesn't seem to see that I've expanded the content div beyond what it's current height is. Anyone have any ideas on this? I was thinking it had to do with the master page content controls but am not sure.
Some of what I have here has been me playing with it. For example the content box I hardcoded to a height of 100% but it won't have that as I want the content box to expand based on its content. But the hardcoded height allowed me to show the fact of how the background is not sizing with the content.
Here is the code:
CSS:
body
{
border: 0px none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.Button

It looks like the issue you are running into is mainly caused by the child element (ContentBox) and parent element (ContentBackground) in your stylesheet both having absolute positioning.
If you edit your css slightly, it should correct your problem.
Remove height: 100%; and position: absolute; from .ContentBackground
and
Remove position: absolute; from .ContentBox
Here is an article that may help you learn more about positioning: http://www.barelyfitz.com/screencast/html-training/css/positioning/

nav button size changing in different browsers

I'm trying to make a navbar with a gradient and top and bottom borders. Trying it on different browsers results in slightly different sizes which break the layout by 1px. Is there a better way to do this?
Here's the HTML:
<head>
<!--[if gte IE 9]>
<style type="text/css">
.gradient {
filter: none;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>Page Title</h1>
</header>
<div id="navbar" class="gradient">
<ul>
<li> Link 1 </li>
<li> Link 2 </li>
<li> Link 3 </li>
<li> Link 4 </li>
<li> Link 5 </li>
<li> Link 6 </li>
<li> Link 7 </li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
And the CSS:
html, button, input, select, textarea {
font-family: "HelveticaNeue-Light", "Helvetica Neue Light", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
font-weight: 300;

To be completely honest, welcome to the wonderful world of Web Development. I would suggest creating a separate CSS file for each browser (Or at least IE), that way you can tweak the CSS to conform to your vision.
Get your Navbar looking good in say, Firefox/Chrome, then move on to tweaking a separate style-sheet for use with IE.
For example:
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ieisterrible.css" />
<![endif]-->
You have to understand that CSS 3 gradients won't behave equally in different browsers. You may generate a gradient using Ultimate CSS Gradient Generator which generates gradient for cross browser support. Even then, you can notice some color and behavior changes according to browser. In this case, I strongly recommend you to;
Make a nav-bar like rectangle in some image editor like Photoshop.
After applying the gradient, you may re-size the width to 1 px (height is not a problem)
You may then apply this image to your navbar using CSS like
background: #color_code gradient_image repeat-x
Since the image is just 1px wide, the size will be less and will load comparatively faster.
