I have little website I'm trying to plan on building. But when I started making the background image for it, the image is made so my website is kind of scrolling web page up and down so I made it long. But now the image only shows small part of it, I trying changing resolution of my browser and I could see it but without that I cannot scroll to see the whole image.
The problem which shows that the photo is not fully shown, photo is 2160*3840 px means it is opposite of normal resolution:
If you're using CSS and adding this as a background image to the page body, then it should be an easy problem to solve (and in fact you get quite a few options).
Firstly, lets assume this is your current code:
body {
background-image:url("yourimage.png"); /* The filetype does not matter */
}
Now, as far as CSS sees it, some people viewing your site could be on phones, some on 13" laptops, or some could be viewing it on 5k desktops - if we want the image to work on all at all of these different sizes, then clearly the image is going to have to be modified in some way.
By adding the background-size property here, we can adjust how this happens:
background-size:cover; seems like the best choice for you. It will slightly crop / stretch the image to fit it (but remember, this is probably going to be beneficial).
background-size:100% 100%; will always display 100% of the image - but this will usually result in it being stretched, etc.
There are quite a few other values this property can be set to - you can take a look at them here, or read the spec on it over at MDN.

I've found a TON of posts and questions on mobile width/height. The top two answers are to use media queries, or to use vh/calc(). The other issue I've seen numerously is the mis-understanding of width/height(100%) vs width/height(auto) with the use of margins/padding/borders. What I've run into seems to be unique, but with the flood of mobile issues, I have a feeling somewhere out there is an answer to this already. If you've seen this, please point us to the correct question/answer.
I've created a black glass along with an element to use as an image previewer. The glass and image have width("100%") and height("100%") without any padding, margin, or border. On a computer, it looks perfect. On a mobile device, the dimensions can get thrown off and the background shows through.
If I remove the height("100%") on images that are taller than wide, it resizes to the entire element. If an image is wider than tall, removing the width("100%") causes it to grow appropriately again too. However, this doesn't solve my issue because without a width or height cap at 100%, larger images will overflow.
I first noticed this issue on my cellphone (android) and have had no issue repeating it on Chrome's emulator. I have uploaded a quick recording of what I am seeing to screencast.
It's been suggested that a css rule is leaking from a parent element. Chrome supports the style 'all: initial;' to reset the css. I also manually reset my css with this method. Resetting the styles did not change the issue.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to look at my issue!
I have begun developing a webpage, just playing around, and I noticed an issue. I code with my live site on one half of my screen, with my editor on the other. It was all going fine until I extended my web browser fully and noticed that only part of my site was re sizing how I wanted it too. Sadly my site is not live, however I do have a link to the code: http://pastebin.com/yeWzfsBW
In theory, the image (logo) doesn't scale down when I resize the window, it stays the same size no matter what. I attempted to use percentages instead of pixel width/heights however it seemed to have no effect. I will try to pop this live so you can see what I mean exactly.

windowed mode: imageshack.us/photo/my-images/42/resizedkl.jpg/ (please put in the http:// I couldn't link more then two links in this post)
Hopefully you can see what I mean, i'd like the logo to scale, like the #info css section.
Thanks!
no need to wrap the image in a div.
set width & height in css.
set max width and max height.
there is a challenge with keeping the aspect ratio on the image.
to get started, below is an example using your code. after looking at this you may provide feedback about exactly you are trying to achieve.

On a webpage I am rendering a collection of images. Some images are portrait orientation, some are landscape, all are larger than the desired render size.
I want to display these images in a gallery of neat, uniformly sized, square thumbnails.
How can I do thus using only CSS?
I would like to avoid a javascript library if possible. I don't need to select a part of the image to display, just any central-ish square area.
I've seen this question asked elsewhere, but have not yet found an answer that seems to work with all orientations (e.g., portraits may get correctly cropped/resized, landscapes do not).
You could still use server side technology to resize the image via cURL; however, that is neither here nor there. One thing to understand, CSS is not really a programming language, as in, it cannot make decisions or do any real math, so we can't make dynamic decisions with just CSS.
That being said, you could create divs for your gallery, and use CSS to set the background image to the desired image. In CSS3 there is a property called background-size. You can set the size in pixels manually, but it will not maintain aspect ratio that way, so it will probably look awful. Setting the background-size: cover will scale the image so that it completely fills the background area while cutting off the excess. Setting background-size: contain will scale the image so that it maintains its original aspect ratio and fills the background without cutting off the image. Here is a little code that kind of explains how to use it. jsFiddle
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this solution will only work in IE9+ (should work fine in FF, Chrome and Safari)
I suggest having a div wrap the images. You can specify a width and height on this wrapper with a overflow:hidden.
First if all I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong place.
I am working on a website for a customer and am getting to the stage where it is almost ready to be released apart from a few minor tweaks.
I am using wordpress to develop the website - I have never used wordpress before so I am kind of learning as I am going along and I am glad the customer understands that.
The problem I am having is related to the header image. I have uploaded a header image by going into Appearance->Header and picked an image that is stored on my hard disk.
The header looks really good on my PC however when I open the website on my phone the header image doesn't get scaled down and the writing on the banner (located on the left) just disappears so all you see is half of the header banner which doesn't look very good.
I am using Mantra as the theme and the responsiveness works fine on my phone but the header image is never re-sized.
I have spend some time on here trying other people's suggestions and the most common solution is found here: Link however I am not sure to which CSS file to add the code.
I would appreciate if somebody out there could point me in the right direction so that I can overcome this issue.
Try having the height of the image: height:100%; It may make it look a little stretched. Or you could make the image height taller and if its a background image the it will cut off what you need
Responsive use in header .. try this in your CSS
.header {
background-size: 50%, auto
}
change 50% with yours
edit :
use image as background-image
I created a black and white collage consisting of a number of images - but saved the file as 1280*1024 - ideally encompassing that rez of a screen.
The issue is, would it be wiser to have the background scale, and stretch the images in the case of a larger screen or should I have it repeat so as not to lose resolution, and have smaller screens cropped from some of the background?
Thanks for any insight!
I personally don't think scaling an image up is ever an option. It's incredibly noticeable, and it doesn't look good. I would recommend using a background image that at least works on 1920 x 1080, and gracefully fade out the image on the edges or tiles well so if someone sees the page on an even larger screen, there aren't strong lines on the edges of the background.
If you are concerned about the bandwidth involved in large images, check out CSS3 Media Queries. All mobile browsers support this CSS3 module, and it will allow you to target certain resolutions and send them smaller images (both in dimensions and file size).
If your image does tile well, I would recommend going with the smallest pattern, and letting css do the repetition for you. There's no point in pushing more pixels down the pipe than necessary.
It's up to the user really but they obviously can't make that decision. I'd scale it but that's not as easy as tiling it. I've never successfully scaled a background image.
It will also depend on your preference.
Are you okay with having a stretched image as a background, in case the user has a larger screen? If yes, then by all means set the background image to stretch. Or, are you more keen on preserving the integrity of the image? In the latter case, it's much better to have the image tile.
