CSS background container color not "showing through" ?

Hi all-
I know this may be a basic CSS question but as I'm just now getting into doing it by hand, I'm looking more closely at how things work (or don't seem to) and can't figure this one out.
Here's the example:
http://www.turnerdesign.com/testsite/
and the css:
http://www.turnerdesign.com/testsite/test.css
I have #container as a green color, but it doesn't show in the gap to the right of #rightColumn.
I think it has something to do with the way floats work... uh... or something
Any help appreciated!
thanks,
Andrew

Wow, thanks guys.
Looks like I have some reading to do. Odd thing is, I don't see where the "overflow" is actually occurring. Maybe I'm misinterpreting the definition.
But I have to read it a few more times...
I'm trying to choose which one "solved" this!
thanks again,
Andrew

  • Spot colors not showing correctly in acrobat 11

    Spot colors not showing correctly in the output preview as well as the page correctly. I have a spot pms
    295 on a page in a few different areas of text and backgrounds. The spot color shows on 1 of my backgrounds
    and text and a spot color on another background does not. These items are on the same page. Although I
    can use the eyedropper to check the color of these items and it states the spot color is present. The page
    also prints correctly. Previews not happening.

    I included 3 screen shots from Acobat 11 of the test requested. Also, included the last screen shot from Acobat 9 of same file.
    Which shows correct preview. To eliminate possible ICC profile issue. I did change profiles to all that were in the profile list
    with no change in either test.

    How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?

    Open Activity Monitor and look for the program.  Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
    Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages.  You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.

  • Div background color not showing in Internet Explorer 8 and before

    My Footer div is not showing the background color (supposed to be black...)  in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier.  It's assuming the body color instead.  Also the border color on top of the 'bubbles' that run across the page is wrong (supposed to be blue)    Is this just because Internet Explorer 8 and earlier did not support div background and border colors yet, or is there a work-around??  Or maybe I did something wrong?

    It should be OK with rgb but not rgba.

    No its doesnt
    I'd just use a hexidecimal color - black #000 and blue: #03f (see below)
    .footer {
    position: relative;

  • Background/ broweser fill not showing up in preview

    In the website I am currenlt building I tried adding a picture as the browser fill, it shows the result in the workspace but when I press preview or even preview in browser the background does not show up it is just the default grey. Even if I take the picture down and try to simply change it to a color, it wont change in the preview just stays grey. I need to add a new page and paste all I have into it to be able to change backgrounds again, but I can only do colors no images otherwise I run into the same issue. I have no idea what to do, a few images do work but a lot of them dont and I don't know why, I tried .psd .jpeg .png and sizes from 150kb to 5mb, still can't figure out what the problem is.
    PS. I have the same issue on both my laptop and desktop (they even run different operating systems, Win7 and Win8) I just don't get it, nor what I can do.
    Edit: I just so happen to realize something 7 minutes after posting this while having the problem for 2 days, I have a large HTML element on the page. The issue occurs only when it is on the page, (it is basically a PDF that got converted into HTML). Still not sure how to fix the issue though

    They will not re-align if I drag the page smaller.
    That's because you are using a combination of AP divs and tables.  AP divs are taken out of the flow of the page and they stay constant depending on their co-ordinates.
    I've noticed that you use AP divs exclusively and I'm afraid it's not the optimum way to lay out a page... here's why:
    http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
    The pages I've seen can easily be created using plain old styled divs - they don't have to be absolutely positioned at all.
    You may want to check out the valildation errors - on this page;
    .http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcosmicthings.com%2F
    Fixing those errors may very solve the problem.
    Put your other pages through the validator and see what needs fixing:
    HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
    CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
    Fix the validation errors and see where your page is at that point..

  • Background Image will not show on website but does in Dreamwever

    I have the image in my file plus I have uploaded but without success ... I recently have a new ISP and it has not worked correctly since.  I checked the in-line style and it is correct ... the background color will show, what is my problem?

    A page created in Microsoft Word is no more a web page than one created in Microsoft Publisher.  Yours is pretty messy as a result of its passage through Word -
    <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"

    xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"

    <meta name=Originator content="Microsoft Word 12">
    and, what's equally bad, there is no doctype.
    Finally, Word's Word Art is not suitable for use on the web at all.
    I'm guessing that this is the image that is missing?
    style={background-image: url(&quot;curly.jpg&quot;)
    Change that to this and see what happens -
    style={background-image: url(curly.jpg)
    Dreamweaver and HTML pages are all about HTML markup.  If you want to use DW you will need to learn about HTML (and CSS).

  • Dreamweaver and Safari - colors not showing up

    I am creating a web site in Dreamweaver, and when I preview it in Safari my background colors do not show up at all. They look fine in Firefox and in mobile device previews. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? Thanks!

    Go to Image>Mode and make sure you color is RGB, not gray scale. Also, a preference reset might help: Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop startup.

  • Image background in table NOT showing up!  ffs

    I am not kidding, but I have seriously spent HOURSSSSSSS
    trying to figure out why the freakin picture will not show up.
    It’s really irritating, and there’s NO reason why it
    shouldn’t show up. I made my template in photoshop and slice
    it all up. I save it. Then I save the template as a WEB. The thing
    saves all the images and creates an editable site.
    So I then go into dreamweaver to load up the site.
    Everything’s is fine. I have ONE image which is being a pain
    to me because everytime I delete it and replace that image as the
    background so that I can type in it, the stupid image doesn’t
    appear.
    The image I’m trying to get to show up is the GOLD
    navigation bar image. PLEASE PLEASE Help. It’s for a project
    in my webpage design class and I really need help, thanks.

    There are several issues here, not the least of which is that
    you are trying to create a web page with a program designed to
    create and edit images, then trying to make it work in a program
    designed to create web pages.
    The proper approach is create your web page in Dreamweaver
    (or notepad or what ever you like) then augment it with images
    processed in Photoshop (or Fireworks, etc) optimized for the web.
    Next, there are several things that could be causing your
    problem, but what we really need to see here is a url to your site
    so we can examine the code and tell you what might be causing you
    trouble. Pictures of the problem in this case are NOT worth a
    thousand words.
    Please post the address to your site and I’m sure
    someone will post the solution pretty quickly.

  • Nested Container Message Not showing up in BPM

    Hi,
    when I try to open the container of my BPM process and check the individual request and response message I am unable to see the nested message inside the container. Any ideas why would they not show up in SXMB_MONI? Also this worked before and my sync logging is set to 1 in ADM.
    Thanks for any help
    Regards
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    Your XI's trace level has to be set to 3 to be able to see all the messages ijn your SXMB_MONI. To do this , you need to have the admin access to your XI server. I think michals weblog provided by chandra can help you to do the same.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,

  • Colors not showing up in Photoshop. Worked fine the first day, now when I click on a color it comes out in gray tones. Pop up about RAM storage?

    Just downloaded Photoshop and there was a pop up box that mentioned my RAM and something about not enough RAM left for certain 3D features, filters, and image/color graphics(?). I continued. Everything was working fine the first time I went to use it, but the next day I opened the program and could not get any colors to show up. How can I fix this?

    Go to Image>Mode and make sure you color is RGB, not gray scale. Also, a preference reset might help: Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop startup.

  • Gridlines and alternating row colors not showing!?

    I selected the entire spreadsheet & invoked gridlines and alternating colors but there are patches where neither one took hold thus is not showing. Anyone know what other setting is off?

    Hi,
    Can you post a screenshot? Do you mean you selected one table on a sheet by clicking the "bulls-eye" to the upper left of the table? Or did you select cells within a table? (I don't think it is possible in Numbers to "select the entire spreadsheet.")
