modifying the footer.

[brett]

hey! I am trying to mod the footer.php file a bit and use a standard background image. I have tried literally everything, including <table width="100%" background="includes/bg.gif"> but even that doesn't really work. It just shows up as a little sliver at the bottom of the page.

 

Does anyone know why it wont show up over the whole vertical height of the footer? I just can't seem to figure this out...

 

thanks,

set your background image using the stylesheet for footer

[brett]

i tried that and it still didn't work :(

 

I'll include them, maybe i've got the code wrong?

 

TR.footer {

background-image: url(includes/bg.gif);

}

 

 

TD.footer {

font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;

font-size: 10px;

background: #034363;

color: #ffffff;

font-weight: bold;

}

 

...i tried with both the "background-image: url(includes/bg.gif);" under TR.footer and TD.footer. under the TD.footer it worked, but under the TR it did not.

 

it's mind-boggling i tell ya :) ....any ideas?

 

thanks!

is bg.gif in your includes folder - try it in images folder?

hmm, that partially fixed the problem.

 

check it out at: http://host.9thss.com/~admin96/catalog/

 

if you look at the bottom, you'll see that it doesn't extend to the end of the page like a background image should.

 

here's the exact code from the footer.php:

 

<?php

?>

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" background="images/bg.gif">

<tr class="footer">

<td class="footer" background="images/bg.gif">  <?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG); ?>  </td>

<td align="right" class="footer" background="images/bg.gif">  <?php echo $counter_now . ' ' . FOOTER_TEXT_REQUESTS_SINCE . ' ' . $counter_startdate_formatted; ?>  </td>

</tr>

<tr background="images/bg.gif">

take a look at the bottom of each of you pages (ie index.php)

 

i viewed your source and there is an extra <br> at the bottom.

edit: the bg.gif image was in the includes folder. i put it there so i could use an original one.

[brett]

ah, thanks. the evil <br>.... fixed now.

 

peace !

When you say background image, is this what you mean or are you just trying to display a image picture in the footer?

 

I have found that you can't or I haven't figured out how to add another table to the footer without messing the footer up, look at my footer and let me know if this is what you have in mind or not.

[brett]

actually, i fixed mine up. www.seattleteams.com

 

it works alright, until you get to some of the subpages... i haven't edited all of them yet.

 

you can add lots of tables to the footer if you'd like. i'm not sure why you're having troubles with that.

 

peace!
