Forgive my lack of expertise in web programming, as my knowledge is limited and I struggle with finding the right terms even through online searches.
With that said, my question (which may be worded oddly due to my lack of familiarity with the topic) is:
Is it possible to implement this pseudocode using html + css?
CSS file:
#ropeimage {
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background:url(images/rope.png);
}
#ropetext {
<div id="ropeimage">
/* some text properties */
}
And then in the HTML file:
<div id="ropetext">hello</div>
<div id="ropetext">there</div>
The reason for my inquiry is that although I understand I can do something like:
<div id="ropetext"><div id="ropeimage">hello</div></div>
<div id="ropetext"><div id="ropeimage">there</div></div>
If I know I will always need this, why not keep it organized in the CSS file.
For those interested, what I am trying to accomplish is creating a div that will repeat a 'rope' image horizontally and then display text vertically. I cannot include both the image and text in the same div because the background image of the rope would repeat under the text. Therefore, I require two divs to ensure the image stops repeating once it reaches the text div.
