[css-d] Background Image Position Problems--Do You Have a Work Around?

2007-06-27 Thread Fabienne
Hello, all. I am creating a Zen Cart for my store and  have put an image 
in the background of my pages. The webpage is found here: 
http://www.possets.com/zen-cart and the CSS can be found here. 
http://www.possets.com/zen-cart/includes/templates/magic/css/stylesheet.css 

In some browsers, the image looks great. In other browsers the 
background images are drifting up too high and show the bottom being cut 
off and it's unattractive. I have been just positioning the image 
downward in the past but that is a bad solution because it makes the 
image look bad in some browsers. My main troubles are in IE5, 5.5, and 6 
and Safari. It appears to look just fine in IE 7 Firefox. I want to be 
able to position the image in the background and have it look good in 
IE6, 5.5, and 5 at least, so the image bottom sits on or below the 
bottom of the page.

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4 and I do my coding in TopStyle Pro (so all 
mistakes are mine and I cannot blame them on any other source). I have 
my screen res set at 1024 x 768 (because it seem like a popular size). 
Thanks for any help you have on this cross browser vexation.

Try

background:#FF url(../images/possetsgirl800w.jpg) no-repeat fixed 
left bottom;

or

background:#FF url(../images/possetsgirl800w.jpg) no-repeat fixed  0 
100%;


This will fix the background to the bottom of the viewport, which might 
be below the bottom of the page at higher resolutions.  When you use 
fixed units like pixels, the top left of the image is put at that point 
in the containing box, which is basically the viewport in your case.  
But if you use percentages, a point in the image at the specified 
percentages is matched to the same point in the containing box.  So, for 
example, if you specify 10% 20% as the percentages, a point 10% across 
and 20% down in the image is matched to the point 10% across and 20% 
down in the containing box.

You might try playing with percentages as well to see if they provide 
the effect you want.  Setting the horizontal percentage (the first 
value) to 50% will centre the image in the containing box.

Please note: I tried to send this message to the list earlier today but 
it did not look as if it was received. If it turns up twice on the list, 
I apologize. My intention was not to duplicate questions to the list. I 
also looked at the Public area on the website to see if this message 
turned up in the last 40 messages and it had not, so I thought it safe 
to resend.
