[css-d] border needed to display background-image

[john saylor]

hey

i have a div that i am using for a header image. i get the image from
the background-image property and set the size using padding-bottom.

the image won't show unless i put someother display element out there.
i have been using a 1px white border-right, but there must be a better
way. i can't be the first with this problem.

if there is a better way to do this, can someone give me a hint? some
kinda 'display' property?

thx for any help.

yes.

 I would love some insight

the answer was on the first page i found when i searched for css
asterisk. you can probably do this search yourself.

my guess is that the double asterisk is a typo or misunderstanding of
css selectors.

 Does anyone on this list define DT and DD tags in their CSS? I am
 trying to make this work and I'm having a tough go at it.

you might try using a more complete selector.

instead of something like this:
dt { color: green; }

try this:
dl dt { color: green; }

good luck!

firefox has an extension for HTML validation:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/249

with CSS i think you need to go to w3c [unless you want to program
your own extension to do this].

but there is a file upload interface that may work for you:
