I have the problem that on my website, when I scroll fast on mobile, the background image moves up a bit and a white space at the bottom appears, and then disappears again when I stop scrolling.
I've tried a bunch of solutions to similar problems to prevent this from happening, but I haven't been able to solve it so far.
Here's the my css for the background image:
html {
background: url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
And a screenshot of the issue:
Try adding the background img to the body aswell like this:
html, body {
background: url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Try this code for mobile to the background image show all sides clear images but if your image is big then the image is stretched so first, you need to create a div container to fit your image into the div container.
html, body {
background: url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
My background image is scaling down as the window width decreases. I want the image to be full image regardless of the display. How would I implement that? The following code scales the image, then starts only show a section.
header {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
min-height: auto;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
background-image: url(../img/header.jpg);
background-position: center !important;
background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
}
If I'm reading your question right, simply set your header width to the width of the image.
If you are trying to full width background image for your header(Hero Header).
Try these code examples.

I'm not a seasoned web developer and am quickly hacking up something for fun. I have a web page that has an 1024 x 768 background image (I know that's probably a bad idea) that I can correctly centre if the browser width increases. However, when the browser width decreases below 768px, I want the image to be "centered" along with the width rather than just tacking the top left corner so that the centre of the image is always in line with the other elements on the page.
What kind of CSS magic can pull this off?
Here's my CSS:
body
{
background: #000000; /*Black bg for extra space not covered by img*/
font-family: sans-serif;
margin: 0px;
}
.wrap
{
background: url(../images/background.jpg) no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
margin: auto;
/*Stretch body all the way to edges*/
/*width: 1024px; /*Min width for site*/
}
Thanks.

Take a look at this website
The CSS shown here in the "Awesome, Easy, Progressive CSS3 Way" is almost as the code you have. what you need to change to center the image horizontal and vertical is adding "center center" to the background settings:
.wrap{
background: url(../images/background.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
margin: auto;
}
Have you tried :
background-size: 100% 100%;
along with all your other css. This will ensure that the background image that you are using will stretch to fit the screen size(height and width-wise)
I'm trying to keep my site's content perfectly aligned with the center of its background image, is there a way to do this?
Currently my background is
body {
background: url(http://nickhumphries.com/images/tucson-bgl3b2.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
background-color: #fafafa;
-webkit-background-size: 100%;
-moz-background-size: 100%;
-o-background-size: 100%;
background-size: 100%;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
text-align:center;
}
#mainContainer {
margin:0 auto;
}
you don't need text align center in your body since you are using divs over it. and you should probably use #maincontainer as a class .maincontainer so you can reuse it seperately.
And why are you using 100% size and cover at the same time? you can either resize it to cover or keep it at 100% right?
Play with these ideas.
usually if i want to center something, i give it a fixed width and set margins left and right to auto
I'm trying to get a background image of a HTML element (body, div, etc.) to stretch its entire width and height.
Not having much luck. Is it even possible or do I have to do it some other way besides it being a background image?
My current css is:
body {
background-position: left top;
background-image: url(_images/home.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Edit: I'm not keen on maintaining the CSS in Gabriel's suggestion so I'm changing the layout of the page instead. But that seems like the best answer so I'm marking it as such.
<style>
{ margin: 0; padding: 0; }
html {
background: url('images/yourimage.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
Use the background-size property: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-background-size
In short you can try this....
<div data-role="page" style="background:url('backgrnd.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 100% 100%;" >
Where I have used few css and js...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.css" />
<script src="js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.js"></script>
And it is working fine for me.
Not sure that stretching a background image is possible. If you find that it's not possible, or not reliable in all of your target browsers, you could try using a stretched img tag with z-index set lower, and position set to absolute so that other content appears on top of it.
Let us know what you end up doing.
Edit: What I suggested is basically what's in gabriel's link. So try that :)
To expand on #PhiLho answer, you can center a very large image (or any size image) on a page with:
{
background-image: url(_images/home.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
Or you could use a smaller image with a background color that matches the background of the image (if it is a solid color). This may or may not suit your purposes.
{
background-color: green;
background-image: url(_images/home.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
If you need to stretch your background image while resizing the screen and you don't need compatibility with older browser versions this will do the work:
body {
background-image: url('../images/image.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
If you have a large landscape image, this example here resizes the background in portrait mode, so that it displays on top, leaving blank on the bottom:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
min-height: 100%;
}
body {
background-image: url('myimage.jpg');
background-position-x: center;
background-position-y: bottom;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
#media screen and (orientation:portrait) {
body {
background-position-y: top;
-webkit-background-size: contain;
-moz-background-size: contain;
-o-background-size: contain;
background-size: contain;
}
}
The following code I use mostly for achieving the asked effect:
body {
background-image: url('../images/bg.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
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;
It works for me
.page-bg {
background: url("res://background");
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
You cannot in pure CSS. Having an image covering the whole page behind all other components is probably your best bet (looks like that's the solution given above). Anyway, chances are it will look awful anyway. I would try either an image big enough to cover most screen resolutions (say up to 1600x1200, above it is scarcer), to limit the width of the page, or just to use an image that tile.
image{
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
padding: 0 3em 0 3em;
margin: -1.5em -0.5em -0.5em -1em;
width: absolute;
max-width: 100%;
Simply make a div to be the direct child of body (with the class name bg for example), encompassing all other elements in the body, and add this to the CSS file:
.bg {
background-image: url('_images/home.jpg');//Put your appropriate image URL here
background-size: 100% 100%; //You need to put 100% twice here to stretch width and height
}
Refer to this link: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_images.asp
Scroll down to the part that says:
If the background-size property is set to "100% 100%", the background image will stretch to cover the entire content area
There it shows the 'img_flowers.jpg' stretching to the size of the screen or browser regardless of how you resize it.
