CSS background to multiline heading

Hi all, I am trying to get a background colour behind the text of a heading by CSS. Sometimes it is a single line of text, which works fine, but as soon as it wraps, the background spreads right across the container it's in.
How can I get a colour block to sit behind the heading only allowing for a 5px padding on multi line heading.
Here is an example:
http://news.discovery.com
Notice on the middle image there is a heading (currently the walking dead) doing pretty much what I need, but here I notice it is broken down into a span per word. Is this really how I have to do it, and if so, how do you think they managed to break each word into a span?
Thanks.

Here you go:
http://www.showmetransport.com/inc-HomePagePanel.php
It is responsive, so if you collapse the page, you see the effect of the text wrapping and how it suddenly switches from sitting behind the text on a single line to becoming a full width panel on multi lines.
There is already a version in place on the homepage, but although I have tried to make it responsive, the DW extension I used for it is difficult to work with. I actually found the widget spry tabbed panels easier to work with.

Spry Sliding Panel bugs with Flash SWF, iFrames, CSS background images

Greetings,
I'm working on a site right now that is build with Spry 1.6
Sliding Panels. On the home panel I have integrated a looping SWF,
and scrolling iFrames on the Overview panel. After extensive
research on these forums, I'm still scratching my head at a few
bugs listed below:
• Firefox (MAC v2.0.0.14)
- The SWF on the home panel doesn't hide properly when
sliding to a different panel. I have set 'wmode opaque' parameters
to the flash file, but this seems to have not resolved the issue.
- Additionally, I've noticed that sometimes the SWF will not
finish sliding into the correct position when clicking to the home
panel (the SWF will stop sliding several pixels left of the
original positioning).
- The SWF (which happens to be a loop animation) resets every
time the home panel is visited. In my testing, this does not happen
in any other browser.
- On the Overview panel, scrolling iFrames are used on the
"Staff Profiles". These iFrames don't hide properly when clicking
through other panels, as the scroll bars are still viewable.
- Overall, the sliding animation is a bit choppy compared to
all other browsers. I can live with this, but I wonder if I have
improper code somewhere?
• Opera (MAC v9.27)
- Same issue as above concerning the fact that the SWF
appears outside of the sliding panel view port.
• IE 6
- CSS background images flash during the sliding panel
animation.

JTable - Groupable/Multiline Header

I found this code to create a groupable/multiline header for a JTable. It seems to be working fine with JDK 1.1 and we are using 1.4 now. I keep getting 2 errors with the GroupableTableHeaderUI class and has been busy the whole weekend trying to fix it, with no success. Can someone please help? Thanks. Here is the code:

in GroupableTableHeaderUI class replace "aColumn.getHeaderRenderer();" by "header.getDefaultRenderer ();" and try again..
this should solve ur problem ..

CSS background cover vertically?

i want to do a site with a large background image, but when the browser its to small the image repeat itself.
does anybody have a nice idea of how to fix it?
should i use a color gradient to mix them?
or set the size or the proportion of the image to something?
is there a css background property to cover vertically?

I don't like to use extra large images for backgrounds as they take up too much bandwidth which creates slower loading pages. Also, you can't predict how small or large your end user's viewport is so your image may not display appropriately on many web devices (mobile phone, tablet, laptop, ultra-wide).
The best backgrounds for web pages are small seamless tiles or gradient slices that repeat horizontally and vertically to fill the browser's viewport, regardless of size.
body {
background-image: url(BG-image,jpg;
To repeat an image vertically
body {
background-image: url(BG-image,jpg;
background-repeat: y;
To repeat an image horizontally
body {
background-image: url(BG-image,jpg;
background-repeat: x;

Css Background Gradient

i have a css background gradient... but when i scroll, the gradient stick in the loading height.
what can i do to have the gradient correct always?
html {
    height:100%;
body {
    height:100%;
    font: 100%/1.4 Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(84,84,84,0.9) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0.9) 100%);
    background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, rgba(84,84,84,0.9)), color-stop(100%, rgba(0,0,0,0.9)));
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(84,84,84,0.9) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0.9) 100%);
    background: -o-linear-gradient(top, rgba(84,84,84,0.9) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0.9) 100%);
    background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(84,84,84,0.9) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0.9) 100%);
    background: linear-gradient(top, rgba(84,84,84,0.9) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0.9) 100%);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#e6545454', endColorstr='#e6000000', GradientType=0 );
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    color: #000;

Don't know about the Javascript - you basically would need to create a listener that would detect when the window size changed and the reapply the CSS gradients. One issue with that approach is that it can become a bit of a resource hog.
For approach #2 check out: http://www.designbyfire.com/ - scroll and look at the bottom of his text content - he's using a transparent png graphic to create a kind of fade gradient effect (it's very subtle). Take a look at the source to see how he did it. Also this might be helpful:
http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/inspiration/beautiful-gradient-effects-on-web-design-researc h-part-2/ - a bunch of sites that use this technique for background gradients.
But basically create a gradient graphic in Photoshop (you only need a small sliver graphic as we can repeat it across the x-axis). Then in your CSS do something like this:
body{
background:#ccc url("path/to/gradientImage.jpg") bottom repeat-x;
Change the background color (#ccc) to match the top of your gradient image color. "bottom" tells the browser to attatch the graphic to the bottom of the body tag, "repeat-x" tells the browser to repeat it across the x-axis (horizontal). If you've done it right, your background image will blend into the background color creating a nice gradient effect.

Firefox don't load CSS Background at all on any Websites.

Hey All
I am running Firefox12 on Windows 7 ( 64 bit )
Firefox does not load ANY css bg images, css background colors and text colors. Layout is all completely normal, but all colour and background stuff doesn't work (links are all blue, pages all white, etc.). at all on any sites.
I've tried disabling all add-ons and restarting firefox and restarting the computer and clearing the cache and all that good stuff.
Settings are not blocking images and are surely loading all image content automatically and all.
Also Checked
Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors: Colors > [[X]"Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
So that's not it
I also use Firebug, but clearing the console does nothing. Neither does uninstalling Firebug. I noticed that in the Firefox Error Console I receive warnings for these issues. For example on this page I see numerous warning like:
Look below for Few Screenshots of Error Console

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

I hope you can enlighten me guys, am I missing something which makes it NOT to appear in Dreamweaver?

Thanks for the response Gary. However, the 35px that you're seeing is actually for the #nav. I recreate the css and tried to remove some of the heirarchy thing. Here's the updated copy. I even tried to remove the #main_container. Same thing happens, the bg image is still not appearing? I tried changing the file type to JPG but to no avail. I think I'm overlooking something which is causing the issue.

CSS- Background img not showing up in container

Hello, I am new to css but not to webpages. I used to design
pages using tables and now I want to learn and design using css.
But I'm having trouble and I figure its a quick fix. Note this
website is not on line I am doing my test use IE 7 and Firefox ver
2 PC Ver.
Q: I'm trying to design a website for a client and I am have
trouble try to get my background img to show up in my #container.
Here is sample of my basic layout. Hope some could help me.
@charset "utf-8";
body {
background-color: #271a0b;
background-image: url(../images/bgStrip.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
#container {
width: 100%;
height: 900px;
overflow: hidden;
background-image: url(/images/backGround.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0;
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "

<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="asset/screen.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">Content for id
"container" Goes Here</div>
</body>
</html>
body background is working. Note: Got the codes samples from
CSS Cookbook, good book learning allot but can't seem to get it to
work. Hope some could help me.

If the page in question is one level below the root of the
site, and if the
images folder is at the same level as the root of the site,
then both links
would be correct.
Also, since background-position defaults to "0", there's no
reason to
restate it.

Css background-position problem

Hello, I get a problem with this style:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
html {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
body {
background-color:#ffffff;
background-image:url(images/myimage.jpg);
background-position: center bottom;
background-repeat:repeat-x;
</style>
In ie7 works fine, in firefox 2 the bottom position doesn't
work...
Any suggestion ?
Thanks
howdy

CSS Background Shifts Down

So, i am working on my school's website in my Web Development Course, and everything seems to be going fine. I have enctountered a problem, i have a divider holding a table that is our navigation bar, and below it the content of the site. When it is in the design/code view, it looks fine as displayed in Figure 1
then when it is previewed in any browser, or in live view, it moves it down like 10ish pixels...there is no margins on any of the div either.
and here is the code for you to look at.

Browsers add their own default margins and padding to markup elements. You may want to use a Reset CSS. Or add a universal selector rule to the top of your CSS code:

CSS Background image

At
http://www.robinbachnia.com/index1.htm,
you'll see the content lies in a table cell. I want the background
image to be centered in this cell, non-repeat, etc. Can you show me
what I'm doing wrong, and solution? It will be a template change
I'll apply, once I get it right.
Thanks

This is what you now have in the page -
body{
background: url(images/darknia_cssbgd.jpg) center no-repeat
fixed; }
the syntax is wrong. It should be -
body{
background: url(images/darknia_cssbgd.jpg) no-repeat center;
(in this shorthand CSS, the repeat style has to come before
the position
style, and you do not need the 'fixed' style)
Making that change will get you EXACTLY what you are
specifying - a
background image that sits in the center of the page without
repeating. Is
that what you want?

CSS Background frustrations

Hi Guys,
I've come across an issue I regularly have and am determined
to find out why
and to solve it.
Basically, the problem is applying background images to divs.
Works fine in
IE but never in FF.
FireFox takes it's positioning from the top left hand corner
of the browser
window (or body tag) and *not* the div to which the style is
applied.
Why O Why does it do this. Have I missed something?
Currently working on the following which demonstrates the
issue:
http://www.scstechsolutions.co.uk/06/blank.asp
I have looked at the CSS Specs and taken a quick tour though
the newsgroup
and it would seem that this should work... Don't think it
likes me :-(
Many thanks
Justin

Good luck, Justin. The observation you made about the
position of the
background element when using fixed is exactly the reason why
IE is the
outlier, once again.

CSS Background properties

Hi there and thanx for helping me out.
I'm having trouble with my background properties in CSS.
I used CS3's Two Columns, Header & Footer, Fixed template
to build my
site.
I have a background which I want to use. It must not repeat
and also
must be fixed and not scroll with the page.
When using this:
background-image: url(../graphics/background.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
The image shows perfectly well
BUT, when adding:
background-attachment: fixed;
my background does not appear and has disappeared.
Can someone please help me? This happens with both FireFox
and IE.
Thank you so long.
Deon

Try something like this. Good luck, Tom
table
margin-top: auto !important;
margin-left: auto !important;
margin-right: auto !important;
margin-bottom: auto !important;
width: 850px !important;
height: 100% !important;
text-align: left !important;

CSS background & border graphic confusion

I'm helping this lady with a few things on her site but don't know how to fix the purple gradient background (http://mabelspralines.com/images/subBGProd.png) to show behind the Products table (table BG stays white) here
http://mabelspralines.com/_productsFINAL.html   new
to look like it does here:
http://mabelspralines.com/products.html     previous
CSS: http://mabelspralines.com/styles/global.css
Also the original site had this gold shaded border not just at the top like it is now, but down the sides of the content div and the bottom as part of the footer. Here are the images:
http://mabelspralines.com/images/vertbg.jpg
http://mabelspralines.com/images/bottbg.jpg
I tried a few things, but can't seem to make it display like the original designer intended - one wrong CSS adjustment and the whole thing goes haywire.
Also, why is there a 1/2" space above the header on each page?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I try to keep things simple.
Take the footer for instance. At the moment you have
<div class="footer">
     <ul class="list" id="ftnav">
          <li class="list"><a href="index.html">home</a> |</li>
          <li class="list"><a href="about.html">about</a> |</li>
          <li class="list"><a href="products.html">products</a> |</li>
          <li class="list"><a href="events.html">events</a> |</li>
          <li class="list"><a href="testimonials.html">testimonials</a> |</li>
          <li class="list"><a href="contact.html">contact </a></li>
     </ul>
     <p>© 2009 Mabel's Gourmet Pralines. All rights reserved. Site by SOF Designs</p>
</div>
The above should look like
<div class="footer">
     <ul>
         <li><a href="index.html">home</a> |</li>
         <li><a href="about.html">about</a> |</li>
         <li><a href="products.html">products</a> |</li>
         <li><a href="events.html">events</a> |</li>
         <li><a href="testimonials.html">testimonials</a> |</li>
         <l><a href="contact.html">contact </a></li>
     </ul>
     <p>© 2009 Mabel's Gourmet Pralines. All rights reserved. Site by SOF Designs</p>
</div>
This reduces the number of keystrokes during development and makes it a lot easier to read. Also a CLASS does everything that an ID does with the exception of uniqueness. Hence I always use a CLASS except where an ID is required for exact identification. The latter is often used in JS and DOM manipulation.
The style rules for the proposed footer looks like
.footer {
    background: url(http://mabelspralines.com/images/bottbg.jpg) no-repeat;
    height: 40px;
    padding: 15px;
.footer ul {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding: 0px;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin-left: 238px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
.footer li {
    display: inline;
When using images as in
<img src="http://mabelspralines.com/images/home1.jpg" alt="Home" width="82" height="25" border="0" id="home_bt" />
The red coloured part should be included in the CSS, again reducing keystrokes and making it easier to change the values. But why use (different) images for the menu buttons. If you cannot find a CSS alternative you can use the same image for the menu buttons and use text for the label. This has an added advantage in that your anchor elements are not empty which is frowned upon. Instead of using mouse events, use CSS to replace the image as in
a
a:hover
a:focus
At this stage I will not give you examples for a better functioning menu, I shall leave it up to you to find out. If you run into trouble, please come back here.
Have a look at what Nancy does with CSS menu's http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/demos.shtml
