CSS problems

You know what the problem is, we can only guess … can you do a screenshot, highlight the exact points and then we can home in on it ?

Well, you see the link, you see the headerimage and you see the backgroundimage that is behind the headerimage and forms a 6 till 8 px border on top of the headerimage? Got it?

“Got it?”

What was so difficult about a screenshot …………….. ?

You see the link up there? It leads directly into my testblog, where I’m trying to make a new theme for my blog and where you can see the problem live. So for what a screenshot?

And YOU know what YOU want the theme to look like.
WE have NEVER seen it before.

Um. Besides, no header image appears on your test page when I access it….

Yes and I explained it: I want to get rid of this 6 till 8 px space above the headerimage. These little 6 or 8 px that belongs to the backgroundimage.

As I said:

Sorry when I couldn’t explain it better, but you see the site, you see the headerimage, and maybe you see my problem. But how could I tell better?

Headerimage needs some time to load btw, its a ~250kb PNG24 (I don’t mind IE compatibility, I support the “Too cool for IE” campaign. ^^’)

Try putting the headerimg in your CSS for starters.
And lighten up, this is a all volunteer forum, the more info you provide, or asked for, the easier it is for the people giving of their time to help you.

{ margin: 0 !important; margin: 0px; padding: -5px 5px 5px 5px; height: 164px; width: 770px; }

I would suggest you play with your padding. It looks like it requires a negative -5px in your margin but doing that will give you css validation errors.

I agree with milklb – get it into your css file first.

And yes, we all understand frustration but it’s even harder for us if we are not sure of the exact problem to start with.

I know, sorry, but its little bit hrd for me to explain such technical stuff in Englisch. I can understand Englisch in every way, written or spoken, but I have some problems to write down what I mean. Please don’t hit me for this.

Well, as I said, I tried to get the CSS working for the headerimage with the margin and padding values, but nothing works for me at the moment. I would be glad, if someone knows how to get this 6 to 8px padding/margin problem out of the way. I#m little bit helpless for now. (-_-)

The padding: -5px 5px 5px 5px; leads to a funny result, look at the testpage.

Ah, sorry – I’m on VERY slow dialup, I simply can’t wait around for something that large to load.

Your welcome, me too. 56k dialup sucks, but here we have no other ISP in this region. Well, trying to optimize the imagesize for you.

EDIT: replaced with a 50kb GIF87.

Did you try taking out the “bottom” in the headerimg? The current view might only need a little more left padding ,from my view.

Huh. I’d kill to get over 24k….

Hm, to delete “bottom” didn’t work. It must be something else.

What I say now is not my real opinion, but now I hate CSS for the moment. -_-
