I'm having trouble getting my background image to show on all of my html pages. I was able to get the image to be the full background on all pages before, but after I put the image into a folder in my project, it's no longer working. I have a folder called images inside of my project that contains the image I want to use as my background so I added the images/ path. I double checked the name of the folder, name of my image, and also to see if its a jpg (which it is). I also checked my CSS code and no not have body mentioned anywhere else or background-image anywhere else. Can't think of anything else I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks!
body{
background-image: url(images/main.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
If the images directory is next to the css file then it will be like this
background-image: url(./images/main.jpg);
but if the style file is inside a directory next to the images directory, then it will be like this
background-image: url(../images/main.jpg);

I have a problem which is my background image doesn't show up. I am sure that my url is correct (Because I have used this url in other aspects).
This is my css file:
body{
background : url(assets/image/main.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
so what happened?
This is my folder's structure:
/assets/
css/
style.css
image/
main.jpg
/index.html
Remove the space between background : and add quotes to your URL string so it looks like background: url("assets/image/main.jpg");
Beyond that just ensure that the filepath from this css file still maps to that folder correctly, just because it works in one css file doesn't mean it works in another if the folder structure differs.
Your code is correct.
You should know that the path is relative to the location of the style (and not the html).
The fact of having used this code elsewhere does not mean that the path is correct here.
After that may be the image which is corrupt.
when i change path of imag.Browser doesnot show image
working code
body {
background-image: url("D:\main.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position : center;
background-attachment : fixed ;
}
same code but changing path of image does not show image in browser .Not Working
body {
background-image: url("D:\Source_Code\HTML\Adventure Time\main.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position : center;
background-attachment : fixed ;
}
You should give the url path from the current css file and not from the root of you computer. Also it's slash not backslash.
For example if your css file that contains this is in adventure-time directory do : background-image: url("./main.jpg");
Try giving virtual path instead of physical path.
e.g.
background-image: url("/HTML/Adventure Time/main.jpg");
The reason most urls are relative is because that absolute urls will work albeit they do depend on the operating system. Which is not desired for maintainability.
To explain a relative url (since your relative url seems to be working for you) i made this example. I wil use the following file structure.:
Your webpages are in ./myWebsite/Pages
your CSS is in ./myWebsite/CSS
the images are in ./myWebsite/Images
Then the url of the image would be as follows:
background-image: url("./Images/main.jpg");
Breakdown of the url:
The url is made up of different parts to be simple. The first part would be the "./". This is simply to say something like "parent directory".
So the parent directory of the file which this line of code is in(./myWebsite/CSS/stylesheet.css) would be "./myWebsite/".
Then the next part is "Images/". This means something like; "select folder 'Images' ".
So now we navigated to the parent directory and then selected the folder where the images are located. The only thing left to do is to select the image, which is done by specifying its name and extension; "main.jpg".
Keep in mind this is a basic explanation
I'm trying to create my first Wordpress theme, and I've been stuck on this for a few hours. I know how to add images using HTML(Through Wordpress), but I can't add images in the CSS, specifically, through background-image.
My guess is that it has something to do with the file path, but I was sure I had everything right. Also, I tried checking for spelling errors. If I didn't mess up the file path, I don't know what I did.
Does anyone have any ideas of what is wrong?
.jumbotron {
background-image: url('Images/header.jpg')
height: 500px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
To give additional information about the file path, All the files are inside of the theme's folder. The CSS stylesheet, header.php, footer.php, and the "Images" folder are located here. In the images folder is a picture named header.jpg.
the problem is that you forgot ; after url()
Fix this:
background-image: url('Images/header.jpg')
to
background-image: url('Images/header.jpg');
and maybe try adding no-repeat like:
background-image: url('Images/header.jpg') no-repeat;
This is quite embarrasing. I am learning new things but I am surprised I can't figure this out on my own.
On my desktop, I have a folder called Test and in that I have index.html and a folder called CSS, which contains index.css and another folder called images with an image called logo.png.
In my index.css file, I have the following line:
background: url("images/logo.png") no-repeat;
Using the above line I can't display the image locally. I tried using /images and test/images but it doesn't work. How can I display this if I am viewing it locally?
As you mentioned, you have different folders for CSS and images inside your root folder Test. Since you are writing code for background in your CSS file:
Case 1:
background:url("logo.png");
Will search for your image inside CSS folder.
Case2:
background:url("images/logo.png");
Will search for images folder first inside CSS folder and then will search for logo.png inside that images folder. (But there is no images folder inside your CSS folder).
Case3:
background: url("../images/logo.png") no-repeat;
In this case .. will take you back to the main directory (i.e. from css folder to your root forder Test. Then /images will take you inside images folder and it will find /logo.png as a path to your image.)
Change img to the name of your class. Use content instead of background or background-image, and Set some width.
img {
content: url("../img/Wizard-of-os-black.png");
width: 90px;
}
Try changing this to
background-image: url("images/logo.png") no-repeat;
Basically, you would have to think logically. If your in a CSS file in contained within a folder, all links in the file are searched in the folder. If you want to link to an image in a folder called /img in the root of your site, you would have to move up a level by using
../img/pic.extension
I am trying to set my background image of the page via CSS using the following code, but no image shows up. The image will be tiled on the page and is only 10x10px big. Nonetheless, it still doesn't show up. Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
<body>
<div id="background"></div>
</body>
#background {
background-image: url("img/background.png");
}
Is the image in linkToCssFolder/img/background.png? The image path is relative to your CSS file.
Also, does your #background div have content in it? If not, it will probably have the default 0px height, and not show any background.
You need to give the element dimensions too...
#background {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
}
Background images do not make their container stretch to fit.
Here is a list of all CSS keywords
Just tried this at http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss3_background_multiple and it works.
I assume your image is not at right location or if the background property is being over written by style or another css rule.
such a no brainer thingy of css and html often forgotten even professional due lack of proper focus and just being tired.If you knew it just rest for a while.
here are some tips if you lost in the tree of web design.
Check the files if it is there, the file type and support for the file in your browsers
Check the directory if you are online you can put all the URL of the file OR use "../" if your css and the image file is in different level of directory.
Check your syntax.
rest, take a nap or have a coffee break.
Firstly check your CSS and image location
1) Both in same folder then try " background-image: url("background.jpg") " simply.
2) If you have img folder and image inside this folder then try " background-image: url("img/background.jpg"); "
3)If you have img folder and If you have CSS folder then you have to go one step back then goes to image folder and choose image it seem like this " background-image: url("../img/background.jpg"); " where '..'represent one step back
#background {background-image: url("img/background.png"); height:300px;}
add height element in css
Another source of error may come from image extension name, for instance in :
background-image: url("img/background.png")
Image name must be "background" and NOT "background.png"
Image "background" must be a PNG and not another image type like JPG
Hy,
to get your image you must imagine that you are in a terminal(or cmd prompt) and write as youuld do to get to the image.
So let us say that your css file is /css/ and you image is in /img/background.png.
To get to the image you must write this code background-image: url("../img/background.png");
This is because in terminal/cmd prompt to get to the image from your .css file you would first type cd .., then cd img, then background.png. Hope it will help you!
Cheers!
