Responsive css background images
(19 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have an html file, and I set the background url to an image, but the image does not fill the browser's width:
I also tried set the width property to make it wider, but it seems to have no effect.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
<style>
#bg {
height:1500px;
background: url("img/timg7.jpg") center top no-repeat;
width:1800px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body id="bg">
<div style="width:400px; height: 200px; background-color: antiquewhite">
BLOCK
</div>
</body>
</html>
You need the background-size attribute for this.
Your CSS should be:
#bg {
background: url("img/timg7.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
In this scenario, you should use background-size, there is a demo for background-size.
Try to use:
background-size: 120%;
Try to use:
background-size: cover;
and please remove those height and width
Try this:
#bg {
background: url("img/timg7.jpg") center top no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
#bg{
background: url("img/timg7.jpg");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:contain;
background-position:center;
}
You don't need an id on your body, as document.body with get it with JavaScript, and you can just use body in the CSS. Of course, that's not your issue. See the code below:
html,body{
padding:0; margin:0;
}
body{
background:url(img/timg7.jpg) no-repeat; background-size:cover;
}
By the way, you should use external CSS, so it's cached into Browser Memory.

How to remove the stripes that appears when using linear gradient property [duplicate]
(2 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm opening an HTML file with no content, just the full html skeleton. i styled the html by using this linear-gradient
body {
background: linear-gradient(#e66465, #9198e5);
instead of getting this expected outcome
I get this instead.
This example comes from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/linear-gradient
So what happens here is that the <html> element is just special. It is the height of the viewport, because it has to be, and it defaults to overflow:auto;. and yet, it's height is not explicitly defined, it is granted by the browser. So the gradient doesn't know where to get it's height value, and goes insane.
body {
background: linear-gradient(#e66465, #9198e5);
}
If we give the <html> element an explicit height, then all is fine. In fact not giving the <html> element a height of 100% tends to be the cause of many issues, that are all fixed by giving <html> a height. min-height: 100%; will work as well.
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
background-image: linear-gradient(#e66465, #9198e5);
}
You could alternatively give the gradient itself a height of 100vh.
body {
background-image: linear-gradient(#e66465, #9198e5);
background-size: 100% 100vh;
}
As mentioned in CSS3 gradient background on body
html{
height:100%
}
body{
width:100px;
height:100px;
background:linear-gradient(red, black);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
height:100%
}
Hope this helps!
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0;
background: linear-gradient(#e66465, #9198e5);
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Linear gradient background</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
I would like to place a background image on the body element to be stretch on the entire browser screen.
The problem is that while doing this the image getting some "zoom in" and image is cutting due to this.
For example let take this current image:
http://www.baltana.com/files/wallpapers-15/Pug-Dog-HD-Wallpapers-38933.jpg
And see how its zoom the image and cuts some parts around.
I've tried to play with the CSS background cover features but with no luck.
body {
background-image: url('https://i.stack.imgur.com/7xThY.jpg');
background-size: cover, 100%;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
Try this it might work
<html>
<head>
<title>This is a test page</title>
<style>
body {
background-image: url('http://www.baltana.com/files/wallpapers-15/Pug-Dog-HD-Wallpapers-38933.jpg');
background-size: 100%;
backgroun-reapeat:no-repeat
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
body {
background-image: url('https://i.stack.imgur.com/7xThY.jpg');
background-size: 100vw 100vh;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
probably this what u looking for ! but this will change image aspect ratio!
did you mean something like this?
html{
min-height:100%;
position:relative;
}
body {
height: 100%;
background-image: url('http://www.baltana.com/files/wallpapers-15/Pug-Dog-HD-Wallpapers-38933.jpg');
background-size: contain;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
i didnt put it in a snippet because the code doesnt work in it. i tried it in chrome, firefox, edge and even internet explorer and it seems to work fine. hope this helps.

Fullscreen responsive background image in CSS
(5 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
All:
I am pretty new to CSS background. I wonder if there is any way that I can resize background image to make it always fill the viewport as possible with only CSS.
The rule is:
No matter what ratio of the image, it always scale itself just enough to fill the viewport to make sure no empty space left.
<html>
<head>
<title>BLURRING IMG</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
body {
background: url("https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/652/ferns-unsplash.jpg");
background-position: fixed;
background-size: 100%, cover;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
And I also want to know what is the difference between:
background-size: auto auto, cover;
and
background-size: cover;
Thanks
background-size: coverand background-position: fixed
I have an image which i need to stretch whole body so i don't know what is best way to do this
html{
/*background image properties*/
}
or
body{
/*background image properties*/
}
body{
background-image:url('../images/background.jpg');
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
This would be the best way, you could apply it to the HTML, it really depends on what you prefer...
background-image:url('../images/background.jpg');
Assuming your css file is in a different map, you do ../ to go to the map in which your css folder is placed, then you go into the images file and select the image.
background-attachment:fixed;
When setting a background-image I personally like to use this, it makes it so that when a user scrolls, the background-image maintains it's current position.
background-repeat: no-repeat;
When using this setting, it makes it so that the image won't repeat, in case it is too small or just won't cover the whole background.
background-size: cover;
When you apply this you will set the background-size to cover, combined with no-repeat and attachment: fixed it makes for a good way to style your background image
As per the CSS 2.1 Specs here: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/colors.html#background
For HTML documents, however, we recommend that authors specify the
background for the BODY element rather than the HTML element. For
documents whose root element is an HTML "HTML" element or an XHTML
"html" element that has computed values of 'transparent' for
'background-color' and 'none' for 'background-image', user agents must
instead use the computed value of the background properties from that
element's first HTML "BODY" element or XHTML "body" element child when
painting backgrounds for the canvas, and must not paint a background
for that child element....
Hence, it is recommended to use a background on body (rather than on html).
If you want a background-image to stretch the whole container (i.e. body), then you could use the style:
background-size: 100% 100%;
If you want to preserve the aspect ratio, then you could use cover to make it cover the full container, or use contain to keep it within the container boundary. When you use contain, then depending on the aspect ratio of the background image, you could end up with white-space below or after the image ends (letterbox).
background-image: url('...');
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
...
.
body{
/*background image properties*/
}
this would be the best way, since body is the immediate parent of all elements which are visible on the webpage.
http://jsfiddle.net/hxyz2evq/
You can use background-size:contain; to cover all the area with background image
body{
width:500px;
height:500px;
background:url(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1a/Bachalpseeflowers.jpg);
background-cover;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
Note: Also there is a case I think of:
<html>
<head>
some free data
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
here the some free data will get displayed inside the webpage, i.e inside body, so we wouldnt care about giving the background property to html tag,
just using body{//background properties } is fine
Edit:
Though this is not the question for what property should be used here. There can be various things like:
background-size:cover;
OR
background-contain;
OR
background-100% 100%;
The best property which suits your question would be background-100% 100%;
body{
background-image:url('../images/background.jpg');
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
Semantically, I would use in body.
body{
background-image: url(path.jpg);/*wearing a cloth in body instead of heart*/
}
Seems to be applied in whole body semantically.
You should target the body tag and apply the background-size property to it.
Like so
body{
background-size: 100%;
}
You can use
body{
background: url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1a/Bachalpseeflowers.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 0 #fff;
}
Try this code :
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Background to fit screen</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Imagetoolbar" content="no">
<style type="text/css">
/* pushes the page to the full capacity of the viewing area */
html {height:100%;}
body {height:100%; margin:0; padding:0;}
/* prepares the background image to full capacity of the viewing area */
#bg {position:fixed; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;}
/* places the content ontop of the background image */
#content {position:relative; z-index:1;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="bg"><img src="yourimage.jpg" width="100%" height="100%" alt=""></div>
<div id="content"><p>Enter a ton of text or whatever here.</p></div>
</body>
</html>
Example : Check this
The CSS3 background-size:cover property handles full screen background images, including responsivity, quite well. The below works well for me on all desktop and mobile devices I've tested.
body {
background-image: url(/assets/img/yourimage.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
background-attachment: fixed;
webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
background:no-repeat url(' ') #154454 bottom center ;
background-size:contain;
body {
background-image: url(/_assets/img/zoom-17536689-3.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
.bk
{
background: url('../assets/imgs/img.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
}
put it between the body tags, sample code below
Set two background images for the element:
body {
background-image: url("img_tree.gif"), url("paper.gif");
background-color: #cccccc;
}

Hi Please do not bash on me or give me negative vote because I really did spend the time and trying to find the answer. From what I searched, this is what I have. I am trying to make a background image as my body but when I put no repeat on, it just a single tile rather than it stretching. Ive been trying to find a code that will stretch it out but nothing is there. I tried youtube and tried looking on here
this is my code
body{
background-image: url(https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
my HTML
<html>
<body>
<div id="container">
</div>
</body>
</html>

A better approach than using the body element would be to place a div that does this for you.
<head>
<style>
#background{
background-image: url(https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA);
position:fixed;
right:0;left:0;top:0;bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="bacgrkound"></div>
</body>
This will work:
body {
background: url((https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA) no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
body {
background: url((https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA) no-repeat;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
}
This will cover your screen.
http://jsbin.com/IJObemU/1/
body{
background: url(image.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
you can remove the fixed when you need to make your background cover bot not on the body element (if you're applying the background on some element that scrolls with the page).
