I have taken over a website that was coded in tables (looks like DW) and is half coded in typo3 CMS and half hard coded.
Anyway, my boss has asked me to make the logo clickable to link to the homepage from every page that the logo shows. The problem is that the logo is part of the whole image that makes up a third of the page, so linking the whole image is out of the question.
I don't want to have to restructure and slice the images to separate the logo from the BG image, so is it possible to place a link section over the logo only?
I thought about an empty div that sits over the logo section only with a link tag that fills it 100%, is this possible and would it work? The site is here http://overbeckanalytics.com/typo3/menu-top/about-us.html... you can save the BG image and see its not just the logo...
Please tell me how I can make a link that sits over the logo only on that image.
Is the background image on the <body> element? If so, this should work:
<body>
Example Company
</body>
With this CSS:
a#logo_link {
position: absolute;
display: block;
visibility: hidden;
left: 42px;
top: 42px;
width: 42px;
height: 42px;
}
Note the <a> tag needs to be directly inside the <body> tag, or else the position may be incorrect. It can be anywhere in the body tag however, at the beginning or the end.
I've also placed the company name inside the link, since it's a bad idea to have a link without any text. A blank link cannot be understood by browsers designed for disabled users, and it may trigger spam algorithms in search engines. The visibility property will make the link invisible, even though it is still there and can be clicked on.
I provided an example answer. If you're allowed to load a JQuery library and can place the anchor somewhere on the page.

You would be looking for something like this:
<html>
<body>
<img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/honda-v4-concept1.jpg"/>
</body>

I just want to add a basic banner at the top of my tumblr website. The code (posted below) is just below the <body> part of the html, however I can't figure out why any img link that I put into the 'imgurlhere' section only shows up as a broken icon (see picture).
<a href=“myurlhere”><center><img src=“imgurlhere” width=“500”></center></a>
broken image icon that's showing up
My idea is to upload a short gif to tumblr, and then copy the code into the html so that it is placed at the top of my website as an advertisement. However, every url I put into the 'imgurlhere' section shows up as broken - regardless of advice I've found online stating that's all one needs to do.
I'm making sure to include the correct link, such as .png etc
And making sure to copy it straight from the 'copy image address'.
Any idea?
Thanks!
I think that setting width="500" in img tag was causing this issue.
-The best way would be to add a class and then set the width of the image.
.image{
width:500px;
}
</center>
Try using your image there and let me know if it works or not.Thank You
I need a big banner at the top of the screen going from end to end. It has to be a link and on the banner is an image. I have all that set up and working. However, around it all is a gray box and in the top left corner is the icon that is displayed when no image is found. How do I remove the box and the icon?
header.php
<body <?php body_class(); ?>>
<a class="vcuLink" href="http://www.vcu.edu/" >
<div id="topBanner" class="vcuBanner">
<img class="vcuLogo" src="vcu.png" width="910" height="59">
</div>
</a>
<div id="page" class="site">
<div class="site-inner">
I do not think showing more is necessary.
style.css
.vcuBanner {
position: relative;
background-color: black;
z-index: 100;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 62px;
top=0;
}
.vcuLogo {
position: relative;
background:url(vcu.png)no-repeat center;
height: inherit;
width: inherit;
z-index: 101;
}
EDITS: More information and a screen shot.
When either the background:url line in style.css or the img tag in header.php is deleted, the image in the banner stops showing. However, when the img tag is there so is the weird icon and outline, leading me to believe that the img tag is the culprit.
Screenshot:
In the VCU banner at the very top, you can see what I am talking about. In Internet Explorer, the icon at the top left is an X button instead and there is no outline.
There are many possible causes for this, so I’ll try an educated guess at what seems the most likely cause.
I don’t know where your files are located relative to one another, but the way your markup and CSS here is written, the file vcu.png should be in the same folder as the PHP file where you’re displaying it (presumably index.php, given the URL in your address bar) for the <img> tag to work. Similarly, it must be in the same folder as the CSS file for the background declaration to work.
Since the position of the <img> tag itself is not specified in your CSS, it should show up in the top left corner of the container. The background image is centred, so it should show up in the centre. Given that there is an image in the centre and a missing image icon on the left, it would seem it is the HTML <img> tag that points to a nonexistent file. That in turn means that the PNG file is in the same folder as the CSS file, but in a different folder than the PHP file. Perhaps the CSS and PNG files are in a subfolder called style or something like that?
When either the background:url line in style.css or the img tag in header.php is deleted, the image in the banner stops showing.
This makes sense. Since the CSS-defined background is declared on the image tag (not the containing <a> or <div>), removing the tag from the HTML markup naturally also removes the background image. Conversely, since the HTML tag is pointing to an incorrect path, having the tag there also means there will be a missing image icon.
You can solve this in two simple ways:
Figure out where the image is located relative to your index.php file, and make sure you point to the correct location (perhaps src="style/vcu.png" or something like that). Then style the <img> tag with something like margin: 2px auto; to centre the image and give it a couple of pixels of space at the top and bottom, and get rid of the background declaration in your CSS.
Remove the <img> tag from your HTML altogether, replace it with (to make the containing <a> non-empty), and style the container to be display: block.
The first yields more semantic code and would be my preference; but both should render the same in regular browsers. Removing the <img> tag also removes its alt attribute, however, so users relying on text-to-speech systems will have no way of knowing what that link actually does, since the only meaningful content it will contain is a non-breaking space.
What I want is a link in my text to a image. When u click on the link the image should open fullscreen on a new tab. I got so far that the image opens on a new tab, but it isn't fullscreen. My code looks like this:
<p>some text website and more text</p>
But if i click on the link it looks like the image get the height of the page, in my case:
img[Attributes Style] {
width: 918px;
height: 979px;
}
I want it to be something like this
img[Attributes Style] {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
I've tried
website
but both dont work.
Have u guys any idea how I can do this?
This is the first time i ask something here, if i did something wrong I would like to hear it :)
You have no control over any style attributes, because the new tab is actually not an html page, but only the image by itself. You can on the other hand make a html page that's sole purpose is to show the styled image. Make your link something like website and in bigImg.html you can use javascript or php to get the src of the image you want to load. In the css of bigImg.html style the image anyway you like.
I am actually making a small website for my company, but i'm not good into HTML.
I am placing an image in background.
But i want some think special.
When someone is reading the site and go down, the image doesn't move.
But when we hit the end of this image's background, the image's background follow the user to the down.
I know the code for making it fixe, and making it following.
But i don't know how to
IMG go Fixe;
IF (End of IMG) {IMG go Follow;}.
If I understand your question correctly, you want a background of an image that has text over it and scrolls/moves with the page when the user scrolls down. If this is what you are asking, and please correct me if I am wrong, then some CSS will do the trick!
Since you are new to HTML, I will assume that you don't know CSS but you know HTML. So create a new file called 'stylesheet.css' inside of the same folder as your webpage. Between the head tags in your HTML, add the following line of code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
Now, in your HTML body, put the image inside and give it an id of "background". Do this by writing:
<div id="background">
<code for image>
</div>
Now open your .css file and add the following code:
#background{
opacity: 0.7;
position:fixed;
}
The opacity property makes sure people can see the text in front of it, and the position property anchors it to a position on the browser window.

I'd like to add a hyperlink to this background image. Should I create a new class within the stylesheet? (When I attempted to call the new class, the image disappeared).
body{
background-image:url('http://thehypebr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/boundless-sem-branco-2.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
line-height:20px; font-size:14px;
font-family:"Trebuchet MS";
margin:0
}
EDIT: Now there's whitespace on the top and bottom (created by the new div class?)
You're using a background-image on the body tag. Assigning a hyperlink to it is impossible.
Also, whats stopping you from using it in an img tag? This seems like a semantically valid thing to do:
<img src="http://thehypebr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/boundless-sem-branco-2.jpg" alt="Image" />
But, if you must use it as a background image, than creating an additional class is the way to go.
You can place a div behind everything on the page, give it a background image, and then add an onclick handler to that div. But you can't hyperlink a background image.
You'd have to do something like:
<body>
<div id='background' onclick='window.location.href="mynewurl"'>
<!-- Rest of page goes here -->
</div>
</body>
Also, add cursor: pointer to the css for the background div so people know it's a link.
OK, I can't tell you if this would be a valid solution, because I would have to see what you actually wanted to be a link. If for example you wanted to make a link to the cream "Boundless" boxes in your background image I do have a work around. It will be a pain to get it correct cross browser, but it's doable.
Make clear gif's the same size as your cream boxes
Put those images in something like this <img src="blank.gif" alt="Link Location" />
Use CSS to make the a tag a block element and place it over the cream boxes in the background image
I would of course clean up my code, it's a mess, but I am sure you can figure that out. Just make sure to have descriptive alt tags for accessibility.
This isn't the best solution, that would be to take the "boundless" boxes out of the background image and place them instead of the blank gifs, but if you HAVE to do it for one reason or another, this option will work.
You're going to have to change your html code a bit to do that. You need to surround the image with a tag, but you can't do that to the <body> tag, obviously.
** EDIT ** Since it's been pointed out my first answer is invalid HTML (thanks, and sorry), you can use a jquery approach like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("body").click(function(){
window.location='http://www.yoururl.com';
});
});
The issue with setting up an onClick method, is that you remove the anchor hint at the bottom left of the browser window, as well as any SEO that might be associated with the link.
You can accomplish this with just HTML/CSS:
<style>
.background-div {
background-image:url("/path/to/image.jpg");
position:relative;
}
.href:after {
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:0;
right:0;
content:"";
}
</style>
<body>
<div class="background-div">
</div>
</body>
In this case, the relative positioning on background-div will keep the link contained to only that div, and by adding a pseudo element to the link, you have the freedom to still add text to the link (if necessary), while expanding the click radius to the entire background div.
