[WSG] background won't repeat-y
i have done this before, but i can't seem to get this going. according to css definitive guide 3rd edition if i use the following css the background image is supposed to tile vertically: background: url(some-image.png) repeat-y; well, without a height and width on the image it doesn't appear on the page, much less tile vertically. the page is here: http://www.alforddesigngroup.com/sandbox/marbling-effects.html css is here: http://www.alforddesigngroup.com/sandbox/css/mueller.css like i said, i have made this work once before, but i can't figure this one out and i've been at it all day. dwain -- dwain alford p.o. box 145 winfield, alabama 35594 u.s.a. tele: 205.487.2570 cell: 205.495.5619 *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] background won't repeat-y
Hey Dwain,
Do you want the paint stripe to repeat as the background for the
whole page? I tried background: url(../images/paint-stripe.png)
repeat-y; on body {} and it worked fine.
Hope this helps!

I'm almost certain that you need the positioning in that shorthand to make it work: background:url(some image) left top repeat-y; or center center, or anything really. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.net .. designtocss.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] background won't repeat-y
Hello Dwain,
Am I correct in assuming you want a paintstripe running down the side of
your wrapper? If so, if that's what you're asking about, I would do the
following
First get rid of this: div id=paintstripe/div
And remove that entry from the style sheet. I can't see that it is needed
for anything.
Then change the #wrapper in the style sheet to this:
#wrapper {
background : #fff url(../images/paint-stripe.png) repeat-y;
margin : 0 auto;
width : 760px;
}
That's all you need to do. It'll position itself snugly in the upper left
and it'll repeat downward. If you want the image on the body, put that line
there. If can be adjusted inward as well on the same line if you need it.
Hope this helps.
Respectfully,
Mike Cherim

PS. I would also add background-color : #fff; to the body element in your
CSS.

Re: [WSG] background won't repeat-y
jake, this is what i wanted to do. i looked back at an old site where i had
used a background image and all came out in the wash, so to speak.
http://www.mppsi.com/ works great at 800x600.
