Comment on CSS Random Background Image Rotation by ChrisR

ChrisR — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 18:57:12 +0000

Hello.

I was able to accomplish the random background with a different method, it's not as dynamic as this one, I have to put the file names in an array. since I'll only have a couple images, that is fine.

Thanks!

Chris

Hello,

Yup, I have the @import directive in place. If you'd be willing to check it out, that would be great. My site is http://hasslefreegaming.com/v2/index.php. I'm new to css and php, the site is a work in progress

Thanks again!

Hey Chris, have you included the @import style directive in the head of your page? It looks like you're doing everything else right. Do you have a URL I can have a look at so I can help debug?

I'm going to be "that guy", and reply to my own post… So, im my css file, I left the body section empty

Body { }

I then added a rotate id

#rotate {
background: #012d4a;
background-position: top center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
font-size: 1em;
font-family: verdana;
margin: 0;
}

From there, I did as you suggested, and put the id in my body tag . Everything worked, except this script. The background colour was correct, so I am assuming the rotate properties are applied to the body. However, I end up with no images.

I have dynamic_css.php located in the same directory as my css file, though I'm not sure how it knows the name of the css file? Fortunately, I only have one css file so i guess that shouldn't be an issue. I put the following in the dynamic_css file;

$imgFolder = "/img/rotate/"; (I also tried img/rotate/)
$element = "rotate";

My image directory contains two images, both .png files.

I can't think of any other useful information

Not sure where I could be going wrong?

Cheers,

Chris

Hello and thanks for the quick reply! Just so I'm clear on your instructions, you're suggesting I make up an ID for this script, lets say we call it rotate. I would then do something like in my pages?

Would I need to have the #rotate id added to my css file as well?

I'm very new to css and php, sorry

Hi Chris, the script attaches itself to an element identified by an id attribute. Quick fix is to add an id attribute to your body element, and use this id in the script.

Hello,

Hopefully someone can help me. I'm trying to use this script to rotate the overall site background. I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work. Could my problems be related to the fact that the body section of the CSS file doesn't start with a # (as seen below)?

BODY {
background: #012d4a;
background-image: url(img/background3.png);
background-position: top center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
font-size: 1em;
font-family: verdana;
margin: 0;
}

This is the background image that I am trying to rotate… is it possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Chris

Comment on Firefox and Java JRE update problem fixed by Gregory

Gregory — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:46:30 +0000

WTF? I have been a loyal Firefox fan and understand diff between commercial software and Mozilla. But this does not sound like an obscure bug and I am getting similar messages in February 2010. I have seen similar discussions of same topic from late 2006. Why is this not fixed by Mozillar and/or Sun(Oracle) Java?
I have latest versions of Java and Firefox. I can't find trace of Java Console in the plugin lists or in my Control Panel list of Add or Remove Programs.
When I search I find ten copies (!) of NPOJI610.dll in various Java directories. Apparently when Java updates it simply creates a new directory and a new copy of everything. How strange is that. I wonder why they are the only program install that is too lazy to uninstall or at least write over the old version.
I will uninstall all my old versions of Java and then install again from scratch. I hope that works.
