How to fit a background image in html without it repeating to cover the whole page? Is there a HTML code for it or do I have to use a CSS code?
There are two CSS properties you can use to control the size and repetition of a background image:
background-repeat
background-size
In order to set as a background image that covers the target element, you would use the values no-repeat and cover, like such:
targetelement {
background-image:url('example.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:contain;
}
If you'd like to learn more about these CSS properties and their possible values, have a look at these two pages:
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-repeat.asp
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
The best solution for your question is adding background-repeat:no-repeat or background-size: cover to your CSS or your element's style tag.
For example:
html {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
If you insist on using HTML only, you would have to resize the element according to your image, or the other way around. Your question refers to a page's background image, so for my openion CSS or style is the only way to achieve this.

I'am trying to design a website with a background image that should stretch in height and width
accordingly when the browser window is resizing. It is complicated to explain what exact behaviour I would like to achieve, for this reason here is the website that does it perfectly:
http://de.wix.com/website-template/view/html/709?originUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fde.wix.com%26number-of-page%3D1%26position-in-page%3D4
I used background-size set to everything possible as well as background-width set to 100%, but
I could not achieve such a behaviour.
Have you tried using the below CSS? This fills the page background with the image.
html {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Without any HTML or CSS of your own, it's impossible for us to truly help you, but generally this behavior can be achieved with the following property: background-size: cover
background-image: url('URLGOESHERE');
height: ???;
background-size: cover;
As long as you specify an explicit height (pixels) and do not specify a width, this property should cause the background-image to resize while maintaining aspect ratio.

I'm trying to get my background image to stretch across the entire page, but so far i have this:
This is the picture i want stretched across the browser window:
My external CSS contains the code below:
hr {color:sienna;}
p {margin-left:20px;}
body {background-image:url("mybackground.jpg")}
Can anyone tell me how I can edit the CSS file to fix my problem?
You can use:
background-size: cover;
However please bear in mind which browsers this supports. For example, this won't work in IE8 and below.
Another option would also include:
body{
background-image:url("mybackground.jpg")
background-size:contain;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
Use background-size: cover. Note its browser support.
MDN documentation.
Background size will do the trick:
body {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}

You need to make this an <img> tag, with a low z-index, with position: fixed and then for the <img> tag, use height: 100%; width: auto or the opposite.
This method is cross-compatible for all browsers.
Have you tried using
background-size: 10px 10px
Change 10 to the width and height of the body
You can also do
background-size: 100%
I'm making a pretty simple html page for Facebook, I want a big image as the background and little images as buttons all over the bg, I want to know how can I code the background and the "buttons" so these take you to a different page.
For buttons you just need to create the element, and then add in the link attribute.
So for creating a button that links to Google.com:
<button onclick="location.href='http://www.example.com'"> www.example.com</button>
Often people will have a div that contains that majority of their body of their html. So you can use:
background-image : url('image.jpg');
attached to your div or body tag.
A similar more thorough approach would be to just attach it to your html selector, like so:
html {
background: url(image.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
I've made a FIDDLE to give you an example of how to use background-image, and a button that links to Google.
You can of course style any of these elements.
While doing PSD to html i have got a background image that cant be set to repeat using css repeat property because images is not consistent like a pattern , its like a full page width/ height image that will require me to set its width height same as page without repeating it , so how do i get it in a way that images is also loaded as background and site speed is also not disturbed , Please help me with , should i simply set its background image for container div ? or somethig else ??
You can use a CSS property for that:
html {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; /*Your image here*/
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Check this link for more information about that :

The compatibility is here:

PD: don't forget the prefixes vendors
CODE:
html {
background: url("/_images/back.png") no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Using this I am able to display the image perfectly but the entire image doesn't get displayed from the top. If this were in a div i could display it properly and control via margin-top but with html I am limited unless there is something else.
How can I show the entire image? is there something similar to margin-top?
The background property is a shorthand for some background properties of CSS. One of them is the background-position which can hold positions like top, center, bottom, or left and right or values in %, px, em, cm and so on...
You don't need to use divs for that purpose.
So in your case, you may try background: url("/_images/back.png") no-repeat top left fixed;.
have you tried the body tag ? also you can try the yahoo css reset
