CSS: background image not behind all text


Recommended Posts

wanting background image only on bottom menu section but i can not seem to get the image to show behind all of the menu items.

 

<div class="header">
<ul>
      <li class="firstmenuitem"><a href="#">Welcome</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">About us</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Menu 4</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Menu 5</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Menu 6</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Menu 7</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Menu 8</a></li>
</ul>
<br style="clear: both; line-height: 8px;">
<ul class="RoundMenuBox">
      <li class="customerfirst"><a href="#">Menu 9</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Menu 10</a></li>
</ul>
<br style="clear: both;">
</div>

 

CSS

.header { margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; padding: 10px 10px 5px 10px; position: relative; font-size: 12px; }
.header ul { display: block; text-align: center; width: 100%; list-style: none; padding: 0; height :12px; }
.header li { padding: 0 8px 0 10px; color: #000; display: inline; position: relative; top: 30%; border-left: 2px solid #319cfe; }
li.firstmenuitem { border-left: 0px; }
li.customerfirst { border-left: 0px; }

.RoundMenuBox { background:url(../images/RoundMenuBox.gif) no-repeat center center; }

 

I have attached both the image i am using and my original photoshop file.

 

can anyone see why the image is not showing correctly ?

 

wanting the text to be center center of the image

I have opted to use this method instead of images but now have different views in IE than what is correctly showing in Firefox.

 

also i wish for the bottom menu to be in the centre like the top menu, but can not seem to get this right even using a centered div

 

.header { margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; padding: 10px 10px 5px 10px; position: relative; font-size: 12px; }
.header ul { display: block; text-align: center; width: 100%; list-style: none; padding: 0; height :12px; }
.header li { padding: 0 8px 0 10px; color: #000; display: inline; position: relative; top: 30%; border-left: 2px solid #319cfe; }
li.firstmenuitem { border-left: 0px; }
li.customerfirst { border-left: 0px; }

.RoundMenuBox { position: relative; background: #4B8EC3; margin: 0px 5px; width: 400px; color: #ffffff; }
.rtopcolour1, .rbottomcolour1{ display: block; background: #ffffff; }
.rtopcolour1 *, .rbottomcolour1 *{ display: block; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; background: #4B8EC3; line-height: 1px;}

 

 

<div class="header">
<ul>
      <li class="firstmenuitem"><a href="#">Welcome</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">About us</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Vehicles</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Services</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Quote Me</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Bookings</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Accounts</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Accounts LOG OUT</a></li>
</ul>
<br style="clear: both; line-height: 8px;">
<ul><div class="RoundMenuBox"><div class="rtopcolour1"><div class="r1"></div><div class="r2"></div><div class="r3"></div><div class="r4"></div></div><li class="customerfirst"><a href="#">Change password or email address</a></li><li><a href="#">Manage Passengers Details</a></li><div class="rbottomcolour1"><div class="r4"></div><div class="r3"></div><div class="r2"></div><div class="r1"></div></div></div></ul>
<br style="clear: both;">
