Im trying to create my first web project using Brackets and cannot get the background image to show up.
My css code is
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html {
color: #555;
font-family: 'Lato', 'Arial', sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: 300;
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
}
.row {
max-width: 1140px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.header {
background-image: url(../img/hero.jpg);
background-size: cover;
height: 100vh;
}
h1 {
margin: 0;
}

I've been following a course online and have typed all the code in identically. I don't know why my background image wont appear. I dont think its a problem with the file tree as when I click on the url(../img/hero.jpg) Brackets shows me that it recognizes the image. Any help would by greatly appreciated. Thank you.
You are targeting the class .header instead of the tag header.
header { /* Change from .header to header */
background-image: url("../img/hero.jpg"); /* Add Quotes */
background-size: cover;
height: 100vh;
}
I think there are two things going on here that will get it working again:
Your css declaration for header is referencing a class but I think you want it to reference a tag header.
Will want to make sure the url path is relative and surrounded by quotes. The example below references one that is hosted online. The snippet you supplied didn't have the path inside quotes: '../url/destination'

Apparently CSS is not recognizing the file path. I suggest you describe it more extensively to resolve this error: "C:\Users\Name\img\hero.jpg"

I am creating a personal website in html and am trying to add a background image to the "index.html" page. I have pasted my the index.html and style.css code below:

I've added the same background-image code line to the h1 tag, and it applies, although only showing the very top of the image. So I know the background-image code itself isn't the problem. Please help! Also, any other general advice is appreciated, I am brand new to HTML and CSS.
Thank You
I've tried adding the background-image element to the h1 tag, and it worked, although it only showed the very top of the image. But when I apply this line of code to the body tag, nothing appears.
Not too sure why, but it is showing up as a blank screen.
How it looks:
Here is my file structure:
css:
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html {
background-color: #ffffff;
color: #555;
font-family: 'lato', 'Arial';
font-weight: 300;
font-size: 20px;
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
}
.row{
max-width: 1140px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
header{
background-image: url(/resources/css/images/hero.jpg);
}

I guess you are looking for this in wrong directory, beacuse your style is already in "resources/css/". Try to continue this directory by doing this:
header{
background-image: url("./images/hero.jpg");
}
You need to wrap the soure in quotes like this
background-image: url("./resources/css/images/hero.jpg");
Would anyone know why css is not working in my html? It is linked to my html, but not working. It is also showing empty in chrome inspect - css tab. I see that css is linking , but not sure why it is not working.. Thank you in advance!

Your css is invalid:
html {
font-size: 10px /* You're missing a semi-colon here*/
color: #eee;`` /* You don't need the strings `` here...*/
...
It may be of interest to you to find a tool like w3c css validator: https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/.
Missing semicolon and empty string are problem but they are only affecting font-size property of html selector.
If your intention was to add background to body then you should fill image url
body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: url('http://image-url.com/image') no-repeat center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
These is main reason for empty page
Didn't see any 'body' tag in your HTML that's why I think it's not working
I'm trying to create a hero image for a website, and I'm receiving a random white bar the bottom of my website.
This is the HTML
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: padding-box;
}
img {
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
body {
margin: 0px 0px;
}
<img src='https://static.pexels.com/photos/158607/cairn-fog-mystical-background-158607.jpeg' />
img element is by default display:inline-block; vertical-align:baseline;
That baseline alignment is what you see.
So either display:block; or vertical-align:top;:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<link rel='stylesheet' type="text/css" href="styles.css"/>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<img style="display:block" src='https://static.pexels.com/photos/158607/cairn-fog-mystical-background-158607.jpeg'/>
</body>
</html
Another option - to set your image to background:
body {
background: no-repeat url(https://static.pexels.com/photos/158607/cairn-fog-mystical-background-158607.jpeg);
background-size:cover;
}
<body>test</body>
I have a question or two about floating headers.
Currently, I'm working with two CSS files, bootstrap.min.css and main.css, the latter being a custom file, containing the following
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#heading {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
border: 0;
background-color: #acc7dc;
height: 10%;
width: 100%;
z-index: 10;
position: fixed;
font-family: 'Merriweather', serif;
text-align: center;
}
which to the best of my understanding should start the heading block at the very top of the screen. However, sometimes when testing the HTML, there is a whitespace between the top of the screen and the header.
The HTML is structured like so:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../static/main.css" >
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<title>Trial</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="heading">
<header>
<h1>Trial</h1>
</header>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I don't modify this behaviour anywhere else. Any ideas what the problem might be?
Since you are using Bootstrap you could utilize the .navbar-fixed-top class, that should correct for the gap . If you want to apply your own custom styes to the header, you would just need to apply both the class and the id styling:
<div class='navbar-fixed-top' id="heading">
<header>
<h1>Trial</h1>
</header>
</div>
