background style in css

background style in css

am 25.10.2007 16:13:25 von badgerduke

..wipa:active {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
background: url(tiny_assign_list_gray.jpg) no-repeat;
width: 30px;
height: 5px;
}





The above background image will not show up. I've tried every
variation possible regarding the path to the image, so I am confident
it is not the path. The image is 30x5px. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks.

First of all

width: 30px;
height: 5px;

would make your link element (A) 5px x 30px not the background *if* the
A element was a block element, which it is not unless you have changed
it some where. Who knows because your snipped doesn't show. Anyway would
would not want the A element 5px x 30px because what if the content
"Work In Progress" doesn't fit within that tiny block?

Now if you want some real help, post a URL to the page in question.

Have you tried writing a.wipa without the :active to see if it works
then? And without the no-repeat? (it might just be sitting where you
can't see it - I don't know the size of the image, but it does say
'tiny' :-)

How about a URL so we can check that path too? ;-)
Other idea: there are styles further down the stylesheet that override
this one?
