CSS frame work in IE but not FF

[jjpeacha]

Hiya, I have created a frame on a site (www.rarecommunications.co.nr) and I have used CSS on the page in the frame to have a fixed background so only the text moves. However it doesn't work on FF. Is there any reason why?

Code: Select all

html {
background: url('../Images/news_writeable_com.png') no-repeat fixed;
}

if i were you i wouldent use png's/ they're less "browser friendly". change it to a gif, or a jpg.

also you have it in the wrong place, its supposed to be in the body, not the html. makes a big difference

[jjpeacha]

Its not in the body its in a seperate sheet, I used notepad to make my CSS stylesheet.

[daygon]

thats ok. this is what i ment.
[code]
body{
background: url('../Images/news_writeable_com.png') no-repeat fixed;
}

Ok, ive done that and it works in FF but now it doesn't work in IE. Is there a way of making it work in both?

Well perhaps if you added a position for the background etc.. that may help although not quite sure why you are using framesets etc..

[moojoo]

#foo {
background: url(../Images/news_writeable_com.png) left top no-repeat;
background-position:fixed;
}

[jjpeacha]

That didnt work. If you gom to www.rarecommunications.co.nr you will see why I need it. I want to have a news section without making the site any bigger than needed so I have set up a frame which will fit into the center of the content box.

You can simulate frames via CSS and do a <?php> include or a jsp include etc etc depending on your needs.

[jjpeacha]

I just want something really easy which I can edit easily how would I make a php include?

[moojoo]

Assuming your server has PHP installed.

<?php include("../includes/foo.php"); ?>

i donno. moojoo maybe your making things more complicated than you think. jj double check your code and make sure you spelled everything right. Sometimes thats my problem and you can see why, just look at some of my previous posts.

Here's the code right

Code: Select all

<td colspan="3" align="center" valign="bottom" background="Images/news_writeable_com.png">
            <!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->
      <iframe src ="../Rare/News_Frame.htm" width="100%" height="99%" frameborder="0"></iframe>
      <!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan --></td>

Have you tried valign="top"

When I put your code into dreamweaver, in design view there is a big white gap of space in that table cell. Then towards the bottom of the cell the iframe begins. I think IE is seeing the gap and not seeing the iframe.

Oh another thing... IE doesn't recognize .png graphics many times. Change it to a .gif and see if it fixes your problem.

[jjpeacha]

Yes if changed it and it still doesn't work. . . I just don't understand why?

I also changed the PNG to a GIF but it just vanished on FF then . . .

[Lchad]

does it see a .jpg?

[Lchad]

At this point, I don't know. I've never used iframes so I'm limited in how I can help you. You might be better off using a php include in that cell, rather than the iframe.

[jjpeacha]

can you tell me how to do that, and make itr have the same effect that I want?

Here is a very basic explanation. http://www.lissaexplains.com/html6.shtml#php Turn down your speakers if they are on. They have annoying voices.
