div background image copied through to cleared class

I have set a custom CSS class for one of my content sections in a page. I have set a background image for this as

.frontpagemain div
{
background-image: url('images/home-panel.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
height: 336px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;}

On displaying the page this image appears twice, this appears to be because the CSS is applied to the outerwrap and the subsequent divs that are created within it as explained in your post http://www.mojoportal.com/a-more-flexible-set-of-container-panels.

The custom CSS for the background image is also applied to divCleared. I have tried to override this with

.cleared
{
background-image: none;}

But that gets overwritten by the custom Class.

Are there any suggestions on how do I stop divCleared from inheriting the custom class Image

Re: div background image copied through to cleared class

Hi,

Your selector ".frontpagemain div" is very generic. You should make the selector more specific. The easiest way to do so is to add a class to the divs you want to use the css you've written. So, if you add class="backgroundimage" to the div(s) that should get the image, you would change your selector to ".frontpagemain div.backgroundimage" .

HTH,
Joe

Re: div background image copied through to cleared class

Joe,

Cheers for that, the way I have resolved that is along similar line with

div.frontpagemain .art-postcontent

{background-image: url('images/home-panel.jpg');}

So rather than just a div I place in the content area it refers to the whole content div.

This appears to work both for

.frontpagemain div.art-postcontent

and

div.frontpagemain .art-postcontent

Cheers for the input.
