Linking an external file with svg code to main index - html

Keeping multiline svg code in main index page is very inelegant. I'm looking for solution which let me move that code to another file and just link this file in my page, in place when it should be. Something like:
<svg><use href="linkedfile.svg"></use></svg>
but the sollution above doesn't work properly - an image is formatting very frank and cannot be modify by css. I need good-working method.

Have you tried a background image in your CSS file?
.image{
background: url(linkedfile.svg);
}

background image not loading in external CSS ( relative path used)

what the CSS file looks like:
h1{
.....
}
body{
background-image: url(/img/back.png) ;
}
what the files hierarchy looks like:
img(file containing the images)
-back.png(the background image i want to keep as background)
.css
.html
i am not sure why the image is not loading even though i have used relative path to the css file as suggested by the asnwers in past questions similar to this. if anyone can help thank you.
The rest of CSS is working just a problem with this background-image issue

Modify div size with no access to html

I'm trying to edit some background on a page. I don't have access to the html file, only .css and .js. The page has a default theme that won't expand the background on the whole screen (bottom) because of the structure. I managed to swap the default background .png with an animated gradient through css but now I need to change the div. Tried with the #import url at the very top of the css file to call an external css but it won't work. Are there any ways to override the html structure? thank you
Forgot to say that I don't have access to the default template's css either. The service keeps everything on the server and once I installed the template in the local folder (the whole thing works with dropbox) I found an additional .css and .js in which I can add other code, though they come basically blank. What I need to do is to override the template's div structure from one of those 2 files. Using DevTools i found the name of the template div class and I guess I can download the relative .css. Still don't know how to override it... I'm not too familiar with coding in general...
Not clear with what you're trying to do. But you can always use Javascript DOM manipulation functions.
Check out this link for that: http://callmenick.com/post/basics-javascript-dom-manipulation.
You can also use jquery which provides better API.
If it is in some class definition or in a stylesheet file then use selector with high Specificity to get your definition on high priority
.oldclass{
width:328px;
height:328px;
background-image:url('http://via.placeholder.com/328x328');
}
/*Your New definition*/
div.oldclass{
background-image:url('http://via.placeholder.com/328x328');
}
<div class="oldclass">
</div>
If it is in inline style, then use !important tag
.oldclass{
width:328px;
height:328px
}
/*Your New definition*/
div.oldclass{
background-image:url('http://via.placeholder.com/328x328') !important;
}
<div class="oldclass" style="background-image:url('https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/fca24c2acab4d63343d4608ce256dcec?s=328&d=identicon&r=PG&f=1');">
</div>

Background image referenced in external css is not loading

I have this in an external css file, but its not working at all. I would assume I'd written it wrong, but when placed internally, it works fine. Any ideas as to what might be going on?
html
{
background-image:url(images/background-grid.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat;
}
I assume your CSS file is in a folder like this.
/
css/
yourcss.css
images/
background-grid.jpg
index.html
The paths given in your CSS file are relative to the path of the CSS file (in the example I given, the css folder). So you should use ..:
background-image: url(../images/background-grid.jpg);
I think you didn't write it completely wrong
But it's better to use body instead of html.
Explanation why to use body
It allows you to use an overlay on top of that body tag. Like a grid-ish background on the body and a shade on the side. But both are correct. Depending on what you are trying to do ofc.
If you don't repeat your background there is a possibility that your picture doesn't use the whole page and then you should use the html tag. But in this case it gives the same solution because of that repeat.
SO replay: tnx to attronics
Explanation of your 'error'
If your images are in a different folder than your html page (which should be the case).
You should use .. as relative path to your css file.
Without the .. it would mean that you are going to look for that image in the same folder as your html page.
body{
background-image:url(../images/background-grid.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat;
}
Here is a site that gives some Basics of CSS. Didn't check the source though.
It may be your folder structure, try
html
{
background-image:url(../images/background-grid.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat;
}
When we have these folders
css
img
and index.html
when we write css in style tag in index page which is called internal css then it works right but when we right css in styles.css in css folder then background img does not work.
because you move with in folder and path of background img does not work. so you have to write like this:
background-image: url('../img/bg.jpg');
then it will work properly
.. this mean go one level up.
So, if your folder structure is like this:
image/
background.png
css/
stylesheet.css
then your css rule should be like this:
html {
background-image: url('../image/background.png');
}
If your folder structure is like this:
style/
image/
bgr/
background.png
css/
deeper/
stylesheet.css
then, go up two levels to the image directory like below:
html {
background-image: url('../../image/bgr/background.png');
}
And so on. Just add up the .. followed by trailing slash /.

Can't set background image in css

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!

background image not rendering on wordpress theme

Topic explains it all. I've got it set as...
body{
background-image:url('images/bg.gif');
background-repeat:repeat-x repeat-y;
}
Can't seem to figure out why it's not rendering in the background. I'm new to wordpress themeing in general. Could anyone help me out? I've posted a link to the content in full below.
http://www.aidanchurch.com/blog/
In the style sheet, I see some garbage characters right in front of the
body{ background-image:url('images/bg.gif');
line in the css file. Those might be making the rendering skip the rule. I'd backspace and clean that up.
It looks like you background image is located here:
http://www.aidanchurch.com/blog/wp-content/themes/bloo_06/images/bg.gif
So first of all try an absolute address like so:
background-image: url('/blog/wp-content/themes/bloo_06/images/bg.gif');
However if that works, you really want a relative URL, so take a look at the directory structure of your theme and ensure the background image is indeed relative to the css file you have written that rule in, in the way you have written.
Check that you have uploaded the correct image to the correct place. When I tried to view the image I could see a very small and transparant image. http://www.aidanchurch.com/blog/wp-content/themes/bloo_06/images/bg.gif .
