CSS background is not covering whole viewport width while using media query #media (max-width: 62.5em)
I tried using background-size: cover, background-position: top left, background-repeat: no-repeat but still nothing works.
here's main CSS styles of that section.
max-width: 100vw;
min-height: 100vh;
background: url(../images/bg-hero-desktop.svg);
background-color: #ebfbff;
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-top: 20rem;
padding-left: 5rem;
This is a fairly common error that I experience at times while working on layout.
The problem is NOT with the background of the html component, but rather with the layout on your footer, and your footer-cta-box div. These elements are pushing the layout outside of the viewport which is what is making it appear as though the background for the html is not rendering correctly. If you use "Inspect" in your browser to temporarily take out those elements you will see that the html background renders correctly! You're doing things right!
I'm not sure exactly how you want the footer and footer-cta-box to be laid out on the page, or else I could help you to get them in the right place, but those are the culprits of the problem.
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
background: url(https://www.nasa.gov/images/content/296150main_2-226.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
main {
color: white;
}
<main>Hello world</main>
try
background-size: contain;
or
background-size: 100%;
instead of
background-size: cover;
I am having trouble with my background covering the whole page vertically, as it is only halfway now. This is what I am currently doing, and I am not sure why it is not working.
<div class="bg">
<div class="container">
some more code here
</div>
</div>
And in my CSS I have:
body, html {
height: 100%;
}
.bg {
background-image:url(myimage.png);
background-height: 100%;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
I have also tried a few solutions from previous posts on here to no avail.
Thank you for your time.
Your bg class will need a height value, otherwise it will only be as tall as the content that fills it.
Also, background-height is not a valid property.
body, html {
height: 100%;
}
.bg {
height: 100%;
background-image:url(http://www.fillmurray.com/800/400);
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
Change the image to your image and you should be good. See the attached fiddle.

Your can also give your container class a height value. Depends on what you are looking to do
Unfortunately I can't comment, so I'm offering this answer as further help (although it doesn't answer your question):
You can take those background properties and use shorthand to place them all into one line, instead of separates. That would look like:
.bg {
height: 100%;
background: url(myimage.png) no repeat cover center;
}
My college asked me to code a site for a project but make it responsive. The image i'm using for the header background is not resizing.
This is the code for the HTML
<div id="headerbackground"></div>
And for the style i've put
#headerbackground {
background-image: url('../images/header.png');
background-size: contain;
max-width:100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
I've followed a few tutorials but no luck
You can't set an empty div background until you set a height on that. Or you have some content inside that div. So all you need to set the height of the div.
So here is your responsive background image. You can check responsiveness resizing the window.
body {
margin: 0;
}
#headerbackground {
background: url('http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2098/2260149771_00cb406fd6_o.jpg');
background-size:100% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 100vh;
}
<div id="headerbackground"></div>
First, you haven't specified a minimum height, only a maximum, so it's collapsing to 0.
Second, you probably want to use background-size:cover; - that resizes the image to cover the whole element. Contain resizes the image so that the whole thing only fits within the element.
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
#headerbackground {
background-image: url('https://placekitten.com/g/800/600');
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
max-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
<div id="headerbackground"></div>
I have a header image on a wordpress site I'm creating that needs to be the full width of any browser.
The code already existing on the parent theme is:
background: url("/test/wp-content/themes/Howtopassyourexams.com/Theme/images/page-header-bg.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
position: relative;
box-shadow: 0 7px 10px -10px #000;
width: 100%;
z-index: 0;
height: 300px;
margin-bottom: 80px;
There is also a second style sheet on the theme thats used and inherits most of the styles from the parent stylesheet, where the image CSS on that stylesheet is:
background: url("/test/wp-content/themes/Howtopassyourexams.com/Theme/images/page-header-bg.jpg");
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
I'm not sure why the heading image has two css codes in two stylesheets, but thats the way the theme came, and I'm not a expert in this so that may be normal.
The image is sticking to the original size (1369x325px) even when the width is changed to 100% and therefore cutting some of it out on a smaller browser.
Any help where I'm going wrong would be great, site address: http://biobreak.co.uk/test/services/
Thanks.
The rule in the first stylesheet actually sets the size of the background image with the word cover.
The second rule's width: 100%; setting only sets the width of the surrounding element, not the background image itself (which remains unchanged cover).
So you have to add
background-size: 100%;
to that second rule.
Two way, the first one is to put the image in a relative div and then give the image the following
img {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
or just use the vw unit
img {
width: 100vh;
}
if you're a background image just use background-size: 100%;
I have
body {
background: url(images/background.svg);
}
The desired effect is that this background image will have width equal to that of the page, height changing to maintain the proportion. e.g. if the original image happens to be 100*200 (any units) and the body is 600px wide, the background image should end up being 1200px high. The height should change automatically if the window is resized. Is this possible?
At the moment, Firefox looks like it's making the height fit and then adjusting the width. Is this perhaps because the height is the longest dimension and it's trying to avoid cropping? I want to crop vertically, then scroll: no horizontal repeat.
Also, Chrome is placing the image in the centre, no repeat, even when background-repeat:repeat is given explicitly, which is the default anyway.
There is a CSS3 property for this, namely background-size (compatibility check). While one can set length values, it's usually used with the special values contain and cover. In your specific case, you should use cover:
body {
background-image: url(images/background.svg);
background-size: cover; /* <------ */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center; /* optional, center the image */
}
Eggsplanation for contain and cover
Sorry for the bad pun, but I'm going to use the picture of the day by Biswarup Ganguly for demonstration. Lets say that this is your screen, and the gray area is outside of your visible screen. For demonstration, I'm going to assume a 16x9 ratio.
We want to use the aforementioned picture of the day as a background. However, we cropped the image to 4x3 for some reason. We could set the background-size property to some fixed length, but we will focus on contain and cover. Note that I also assume that we didn't mangle the width and/or height of body.
contain
contain
Scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the largest size such that both its width and its height can fit inside the background positioning area.
This makes sure that the background image is always completely contained in the background positioning area, however, there could be some empty space filled with your background-color in this case:
cover
cover
Scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the smallest size such that both its width and its height can completely cover the background positioning area.
This makes sure that the background image is covering everything. There will be no visible background-color, however depending on the screen's ratio a great part of your image could be cut off:
Demonstration with actual code
div > div {
background-image: url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/r5CAq.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-color: #ccc;
border: 1px solid;
width: 20em;
height: 10em;
}
div.contain {
background-size: contain;
}
div.cover {
background-size: cover;
}

Based on tips from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/background-size I end up with the following recipe that worked for me
body {
overflow-y: hidden ! important;
overflow-x: hidden ! important;
background-color: #f8f8f8;
background-image: url('index.png');
/*background-size: cover;*/
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right;
}
Background image is not Set Perfect then his css is problem create so his css file change to below code
html {
background-image: url("example.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0% 0%;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
%; background-size: 100% 100%;"
I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly, but you really should check out these excellent blog posts written by Chris Coyier from CSS-Tricks:
http://css-tricks.com/how-to-resizeable-background-image/
http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/
Read the descriptions for each of the articles and see if they're what you're looking for.
The first answers the following question:
Is there a way to make a background image resizeable? As in, fill the background of a web page edge-to-edge with an image, no matter the size of the browser window. Also, have it resize larger or smaller as the browser window changes. Also, make sure it retains its ratio (doesn't stretch weird). Also, doesn't cause scrollbars, just cuts off vertically if it needs to. Also, comes in on the page as an inline tag.
The second post's goal is to get the following, a "background image on a website that covers the entire browser window at all times. "
Hope this helps.
Just add this one line:
.your-class {
height: 100vh;
}
vh is viewport height.
This will automatically scale to fit the device' browser window.
Check more here: Make div 100% height of browser window
body{
background-image: url(../url/imageName.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: auto 100%;
background-position: center;
}
Try this,
element.style {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) url("img/shopping_bgImg.jpg") no-repeat scroll center center / cover;
}
I had the same issue, unable to resize the image when adjusting browser dimensions.
Bad Code:
html {
background-color: white;
background-image: url("example.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: 0% 0%;
}
Good Code:
html {
background-color: white;
background-image: url("example.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: 0% 0%;
background-size: contain;
}
The key here is the addition of this element -> background-size: contain;
Here's what worked for me:
background-size: auto 100%;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
background: url("../img/hero-bg.jpg") top center;
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0% 0%;
background-size: 100% 100%;
if you set min-height, for example:
min-height: 100vh;
You can use the below code to fit your background easily
body {
background: url(images/background.svg);
min-height: 100vh;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
Setting background size does not help, the following solution worked for me:
.class {
background-image: url(blablabla.jpg);
/* Add this */
height: auto;
}
It basically crops the image and makes it fit in, background-size: contain/cover still didn't make it fit.
