Question

I’m fairly new to css, sorry!

I have a site that is not up yet but it has a menu bar at the top of the page and below that a box with some text in, on the top left corner of that box there’s a rosette. When I view the site with firebug on lower res screens the rosette which is only 50x100px covers a much larged area stopping me from clicking on the menu link.

The box with the text in has it’s own div,textbox

#textbox
{
font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
margin: 45px;
width: 470px;
text-align: left;
padding-bottom: 5px;
padding-left: 35px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
border-collapse: collapse;
border: 1px solid #ffffff;
background-image:url("../images/50.png");
}

The rosette also has it’s own div, rosettepb

   #rosettePB {
    background-image:url("../images/rosette.png");
    -webkit-transform:rotate(-10deg);
    -moz-transform:rotate(-10deg);
    -ms-transform:rotate(-10deg);
    background-position: center center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    height: 180px;
    margin: -140px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 254px;
    width: 390px;
    z-index: 151;
    }

How do I get that box to be only 50x100px and thus not block that menu link?

Thanks,

You have specified the width and height for the box to be 390×180, so that’s what it is. If you change it to 50×100, it will be smaller:

#rosettePB {
    background-image:url("../images/rosette.png");
    -webkit-transform:rotate(-10deg);
    -moz-transform:rotate(-10deg);
    -ms-transform:rotate(-10deg);
    background-position: center center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 50px;
    height: 100px;
    margin: -140px;
    /*  position: absolute; */
    left: 30px;
    top: 344px;
    z-index: 151;
}

Edit:

As the background image is centered, you have to move the element to make the image appear at the same position. I adjusted the top positon, added a left positon and commented out the margin, as what I think would place the element correctly.
