[css-d] Stationary Image Problem

2006-10-01 Thread Fabienne
I am trying to create a web page with an image which would remain 
stationary while you scroll up and down the page. I want the image to be 
on the left hand side of the page and it would be great if I could get 
it to rest on the bottom of the viewer's browser screen no matter what 
their screen resolution is.

Here is the html of the page: http://www.possets.com/scent/newmain4.html
Here is the css:http://www.possets.com/scent/newscent4.css
The element I am trying to apply to this problem is #possetlady2
The image I want to have on the left hand side of the page is 
venusonhalfshell.gif

I can't get her to appear in my browser (latest Firefox). She appears 
about 500 px away from the left hand side of the browser window and 
directly under the upper menu in the latest IE, behind the text, not the 
way I want her to be seen. My resolution is 1024 x 768. I am using Top 
Style Pro to make up the html and css.

I want her to be on the left side of the screen, and out of the way of 
the company logo (in the upper left side).

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me on this. I am just 
spinning my wheels at the moment.

You might use this method http://limpid.nl/lab/css/fixed/footer .
And you might give Botticelli credit.
Best,

Hi Fabienne

I am learning as I go, but first check your html, you have an extra
/head and body in there to mess things up, and then try placing your
image as a background-image in your body style declaration in your CSS
something like:

body{
background-image: url(venusonhalfshell.gif);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: bottom left;
background-repeat: none;
}
I haven't used the shorthand notation because I am not that sure of myself
and it lets you see more easily what is going on.
It can be combined with your existing style block apart from maybe the
html part of your declaration.
If you put it on any other div than the body, varieties of IE will not
honour the fixed position and will scroll it.
Hope in my newness I haven't given you anything ropey, but it might get
you in the direction you are looking for.

Hi again Fabienne,
I knew I would do one obvious mistake at least in the code I gave,

The line background-position: bottom left; should of course read as

background-position: left bottom;

Best wishes
