image tiling/background problem

aylin / 2008-08-06 12:20:48   

hello,

i'm working on my site, beginner in css and changing things and learning as i go along but something has happened along the way! and i cant seem to figure it out...

when i tile an image as background on my home page, how can i get it to stop where my menu starts? it suddenly seems like my menu is in a white box :( how can i avoid this box and just have the whole left menu side of my page white?

my site: www.studiodosis.com

maybe someone around here would be able to give me a pointer?...
thankx in advance,
aylin

Hi!

Set all of the menu-margin to 0, and then use padding instead. This will result in the menu having a white background to all margins.

Cheers!

May not cover the full scope of your query, but...

  1. <strong>To remove bullets</strong>
  2. Add the following to your style.css in #menu ul: -
  3. list-style: none;

Background
Is this what you mean?

Peace.

Really sorry about the above formatting, grrr!!!

Add the following to your style.css in #menu ul : -

hi leslieOA,

i went to list-style in my style sheets and it said unchanged.
when i changed that to 'none' the bullets disappeared!
i had already done the 'making the background white' trick from the link you sent...

thank you thank you to both of you guys!
