I'm learning css and xhtml through a website called html.net. I'm following their instructions while working on my own website. I've just started the CSS tutorials on image background and i am encountering a small but annoying problem. When I do this, everything is fine. Meaning, there are pirate ships all over the place. It looks like the spanish armada.
body {
background-color: silver;
background-image: url("pix/pirateship.jpg")
}
h1 {font-size: 40px; font-family: arial; color:yellow; background-color:#0000a0;}
h2 {color:maroon;}
li {font-size: 20px; font-family: arial; color:#87f717; background-color:#34282c;}
table {color:black; background-color:gray;}
th {color:black;}
But... when i try and follow the next example, this is not showing any image at all.
body {
background-color: silver;
background-image: url("pix/pirateship.jpg")
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
h1 {font-size: 40px; font-family: arial; color:yellow; background-color:#0000a0;}
h2 {color:maroon;}
li {font-size: 20px; font-family: arial; color:#87f717; background-color:#34282c;}
table {color:black; background-color:gray;}
th {color:black;}
I suspect this has something... actually, I don't know enough to start suspecting. I'm just gonna leave this one to you guys, and hopefully somebody knows the solution.
PS All of that is in a css file in the same folder as the index file. When I try and use any of the no-repeat, repeat-x or repeat-y values all of my pirates vamoose. The regular background image shows just fine when I don't use those.
you're missing a semi-colon after the background-image selector in your second example. If this is an copy and paste of your code, then that missing semi-colon is the problem.

I'm trying to use the background-image property on a small site I'm making, but to no avail. Here's the code:
body {
background-image: url(/images/Pangolin.png);
background-size: center;
font-family: arial, "Times New Roman", Times, Serif;
color: #fff;
font-size: 32px;
line-height: 20px;
}
I'm 99% certain the path is correct. I've tried putting the path in quotes, but nothing seems to be working.
Random shot here but hell, maybe it'll work.
I'm assuming that you're using BEM file structure here.
I think you're just forgetting to go up a level, try putting two periods before the first forward slash if the images folder is in the root level.
So it'd look like;
background-image: url(../images/Pangolin.png);
use cover for background-size
body {
background-image: url( path to image );
background-size: cover;
}
I'm new to js and I was following a tutorial to learn about node.js.
I used middleware and tried to adapt my css file into pages. But only a part of css file doesn't work even though I just copied and moved the whole style part from html file to css file.
Here is my style.css.
<style type="">
body {
background: skyblue;
font-family: verdana;
color: #fff;
padding: 30px;
}
h1 {
font-size: 48px;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 2px;
text-align: center;
}
h2 {
font-size: 30px;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 2px;
text-align: center;
}
p, li {
font-size: 16px;
text-align: center;
}
And only background: skyblue this part doesn't work.
The part I handle with static files is just like this.
app.use('/assets', express.static('assets'))
All other styles does work and I have no idea what is the cause.
Remove <style type=""> from your CSS. That's HTML, not CSS.
The skyblue color is equal to #87CEEB - might try and change to a HEX color instead as it seems node.js has trouble interpreting the skyblue color.
You can see the color references here CSS Colors
It is not possible that only a part of CSS is not working.
Inspect body tag and check from where it is picking background style.
Include your CSS right after the the CSS file from which background style is currently picked.
My most probable guess is it is picking background style from some other file.
Make sure there is no in-file and inline CSS giving background style.
or use
background: skyblue !important;
This is my first question (and first post) on Stackoverflow. Hope to contribute more once I become skilled enough.
Anyway, I'm having trouble understanding why my background image appears when I reference it using css that's inline with my html, but not when I put it in a separate css stylesheet that the html links to.
Here's what my inline css looks like, which works fine:
<style>
body {
background: url('background.jpg') center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
My styles.css file is shown below, which contains the exact same code:
<style>
body {
background: url('background.jpg') center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
p {
font-family: 'Helvetica Neue' Helvetica;
font-color: white;
}
h1 {
color: white;
font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';
font-size: 3.5em;
text-align: center
}
.textbox {
background-color: beige;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
padding: 10px;
margin: 50px auto;
text-align: center;
font-family: 'Helvetica Neue' Helvetica;
font-weight: 200;
}
</style>
...but it no longer shows the background image. Everything else from the css file (paragraph formatting, text size/color, etc.) shows up in the browser just fine.
Also, the html file, css file, and background image are all in the same directory. So I figured I don't need to use "/background.jpg", "../background.jpg", etc. which I've seen suggested in other cases in other posts on Stackoverflow.
I tried to find an answer to this but couldn't find one. Any help is greatly appreciated!
But, in a separate .css file, I typed the exact same code as above, linking to it in the html file by using:
Did you remove the <style> & </style> tags from the CSS file ? For example, like:
body {
background: url('background.jpg') center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
These HTML tags are only required around your CSS rules if you're including CSS directly into your HTML.
i need to see your file and folder structure.. makes sure the the stylesheet you are referring is in the same folder where the html is, if so the same code will do.. if you css is in another folder like in css/styles.css than you have to change the link as well as the href of stylesheet to something like ../image.png
the folder structure matters here
Take the style tags out of your .css file.
I have a simple html and css website which was working fine until i updated some content.
The main background is a colour with one image in the top right corner which is in the 'body' div properties. the font family is also in the 'body' properties.
everything else in my website (div layouts, menu bar background image and div back colours etc.) are all displaying ok, but i have no main background and all font is displaying at a small size and as serif when my set font family is san-serif.
body{
min-height:700px;
min-width:900px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #000;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;
line-height: 1.4;
background-color: #666;
background-image: url(Images/backleave4.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right top;
}
As its was working just fine before, i assume the issue is that for some reason its not reading all the body properties correctly.If anyone can give me some advice that would be awesome!
Thanks
EDIT:
Over night it somehow fixed itself, for the most part. I don't know what was wrong. Gahh technology!
Your posted CSS is fine. Can you post a link to the website?
Upgrade your #rightwrap to-
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6);
I think you want to show your background image all over the page.
I'm working on a site's CSS and am running across an issue with the body margin section. If you look at this in Firefox and then IE, you can see the line isn't lined up right in Firefox, but it is in IE. (In the black header section).
Here is what I have for the body tag, It's something with the margin and I can't figure it out:
body {
margin: -2px;
padding: 0px;
background: #E7E7E7 url(images/bg01.jpg) repeat-x left top;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #888888;
}
Thank you for any responses!
You've placed the image with the text "Nickelson Associates" inside a table cell with a default padding which is 1px in MSIE. You need to force the td element in question to have a padding of 0.
That said, using tables for layout/positioning is considered bad practice.
