I cannot get this background image to appear. It is supposed to appear in the background with the header overlapping it. I'm using an id selector. I literally copied this straight from the book i have for my class and it's not working at all.
Here is my code. I'm very new to css
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Fall Nature Hikes</title>
<style>
#content { background-image: url(fall.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 640px;
height: 480px;
padding-top: 20px; }
h1 { background-color: #FFFFFF;
opacity: 0.6;
font-size: 4em;
padding: 10 px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<h1>Fall Nature Hikes</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In my browser it works right for another image, you can check the url(fall.jpg) path is right？
I checked, your code can show the image, you can see this sample:
> https://jsfiddle.net/a9qm1j2t/
It's just copy all your html and css source code.
I think you should check image path and image type again, and make sure it's right.
May be your image path is not proper.
First check where is your css file and image file.You can verify your image path by inspecting your code on browser and in style check your image path.

I'm setting up a basic html site. I want to use an image for my background for the landing page. I'm trying to use css inline (I thought this would be easiest...go figure).
In my body tag, I've got the color I want, "darkkhaki". But the property for the background image is not coming up. I have uploaded to my flickr account the image I want, but no go. I did notice in my ST3 window that the closing parenthesis is highlighted red, but I can't find out why.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
background-color: darkkhaki;
background-image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132197683#N04/33747163168/in/dateposted-public("praetorian_punisher.png");
}
h1 {
color: red;
text-align: center;
}
I would like to see the .png file as the background. It's not coming up, though.
Thx for any help.
First, you should do it like this:
body {
background-image: url(...);
}
Second, the url you're trying to use points to HTML page, not to the image itself. Correct url would be https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/33747163168_9f12d3a173_b.jpg.
body {
background-color: darkkhaki;
background-image: url(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/33747163168_9f12d3a173_b.jpg);
}
h1 {
color: red;
text-align: center;
}
<h1>Hello!</h1>
At first, the problem seemed to be that only my CSS file, which was linked into my HTML document, wasn't loading in the browser when opened, but then when integrating an image into the HTML document I found it also wasn't appearing in the browser when the document was opened (and I used Microsoft Edge, Chrome, and Firefox to open the document. All files are located in the same folder on my computer, and yet using relative paths to locate the files also seem to be doing nothing. The code looks as such. (Worth noting that I was messing around with both the background-image property in CSS and the tag in HTML to load the same file since neither seemed to work)
HTML Code:
<head>
<title>Quad Game Schedule</title>
<link type="stylesheet" rel="text/css" href="displaylayout.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="fieldimg">
<img src="field.png" alt="Field Overhead Image">
</div>
<div class="F1">
<h2>Full Field Games</h2>
<ul>
<li>12:00 - TSPro vs Wings</li>
<li>12:45 - Team Evanston vs Bosnia</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS Code (displaylayout.css):
body {
background-color: rgb(242, 242, 242);
color: red;
}
p {
color: red;
}
img {
align-self: center;
vertical-align: top;
}
.fieldimg {
height: 30%;
width: 45%;
background-image: image(field.png);
background-size: cover;
}
.F1 {
align-self: center;
float: left;
clear: none;
width: auto;
}
In the browser developer side bar, it says that there are no style properties for the webpage, which can't be true. I can always write the CSS into the HTML document, but the image is also an integral part of the end product and that won't load either. (Also maybe worth noting, with text-color for the p element and body used in CSS was merely for testing purposes)
Edit: this is the exact code for the test files I made that still don't work.
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Webpage</title>
<link type="stylesheet" rel="text/css" href="test.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a test heading</h1>
<p>This is a test paragraph</p>
<img src="test.png" alt="Test Picture">
</body>
</html>
CSS:
h1 {
color: red;
font-size: 24pt;
}
p {
color: blue;
font-size: 12pt;
}
The image in the new folder for these test files was renamed as test.png.
Edit 2: I just found out that older files of mine that linked to external files still work, so the problem lies with the new files I make.
In your code you are trying to load the image twice, once as a background image for the div with class fieldimg, and once inside it in an ` tag:
<div class="fieldimg">
<img src="field.png" alt="Field Overhead Image">
</div>
.fieldimg {
height: 30%;
width: 45%;
background-image: image(field.png);
background-size: cover;
}
1.) The background image needs to have be defined like background-image: url(field.png), not like you did it ("image(field.png)")
2.) The height setting for .fieldimg (30%) won't work, because there is no container around it that has a height setting to which the 30% could relate. So this becomes 0px high and therefore won't be visible. To avoid this you can apply height: 100% to the body
If you fix both, you'll have to erase either the background image or the image tag, otherwise you'll get your image twice...
Your CSS contains an error that might be the cause:
.fieldimg {
height: 300px; /* set an absolute amount of pixels here instead of a relative number (which is relative to nothing) */
width: 45%;
background-image: url('field.png'); /* this is how you place images by setting a background image */
background-size: cover;
}
Reference
Also, remember that when not using relative paths in your CSS it is relative to the location of the .css file! So if using an image as a background image in a specific CSS folder, be sure the image is relative to that CSS file location.
SO I'm trying to recreate this webpage and am working on the style of the div that I will be using 7 times to span the nav bar and am having trouble getting the referenced image to load in.
I will now post my code. I am using style in the page for quick access but will use an external style sheet when I am done.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<header class="header" id="header" align="middle">
<img src="https://s21.postimg.org/luvg05cjb/header.jpg">
</header>
<style>
.Home {
position: absolute;
background-image: url("https://postimg.org/image/vg652px3f/");
background-size: 99px 30px;
left: 290px;
top: 234px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 30px;
width: 99px;
height: 30px;
color: black;
}
</style>
<body>
<div class="Home">Home</div>
<h1></h1>
<p></p>
</body>
</html>
There are several things wrong with your code:
There is no head tag in the document.
You can't simply put <header> tags outside of <body> element. (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_header.asp)
Style tags should be placed inside <head> or <body> tag.
This is not an image URL >> https://postimg.org/image/vg652px3f/
Firstly you are using a website address in the background image style, not an actual image.
The image that you may be referring to is actually at the link:
https://s9.postimg.org/mxwoydqkv/menubg.jpg
Edit: If your goal is to show a website inside your website, you should be using an iframe.
<iframe src="https://postimg.org/image/vg652px3f/"></iframe>
I have a quick question, I'm making a simple html document, with an image that I want to fill the entire page.
For some reason, it wants to create a border around the image. I've tried border="0"; and padding 0px 0px 0px 0px;
Here is the code in which I have: (You can also check it out live if you prefer www.kidbomb.com/chefwannabe)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Pre-Order Now!</title>
</head>
<body>
<img style="width: 100%; overflow:hidden;" src="http://www.kidbomb.com/chefwannabe/chefwannabepreview.png" />
</body>
</html>
Add the following CSS in your code. Default body will give some margin and padding. So better whenever you start new work, add this style in your css for getting the proper result.
body
{
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
Instead of using the img tag, set the background-image property of the body tag so it encompasses the entirety of the page.
body {
background-image: url("path/to/image.jpg");
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
I'm new to HTML and CSS in general. Please help me with the code. I cannot get the background-image to appear in my browser although i typed the syntax correctly. All i get is an orange box, with no alert.png image. I'm following an online tutorial btw: http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/31-css-background-images/#thecode
Edit 1: The image, html file and css file are all inside the same folder. Yet no success.
Edit 2: I used an unique css file name instead of a generic "style.css" (which i have several of them in my system) and it worked! Make sure there's no space between url and the parenthesis.
HTMl code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8">
<title>alert message</title>
</head>
<body>
<p class="alert">
<strong>Alert!</strong>
This is an alert message.
</p>
</body>
</html>
CSS code:
.alert {
width: 20em;
background-image: url(C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\alert.png);
background-color:orange;
margin: auto;
padding: 2em;
}
The url must be a string:
url("C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\alert.png");
I would guess it's a permissions issue, regardless you will most likely have problems with the URL being a file reference when you move this to a server, I would recommend moving your image into the same location (or better yet an image folder in the root of your site) as your html file and then modify your css to be this
.alert {
width: 20em;
background-image: url('/alert.png'); /* '/images/alert.png' */
background-color:orange;
margin: auto;
padding: 2em;
}
Another way of doing things is to put your text into a div, and set the image as the div's background image using css, like so:
<div class="alert">
<p>
<strong>Alert!</strong>
This is an alert message.
</p>
</div>
And, for the CSS:
.alert {
width: 20em; (Width of entire div, which includes text and bg image)
background-image: url('../alert.png');
background-color: orange;
margin: auto;
padding: 2em;
}
You can see the live JSFiddle example here: http://jsfiddle.net/Cwca22/TdDJY/
Also, in the code above, the background image will tile (repeat) both horizontally and vertically to fill the space of the div. In order to prevent this, you could make the div the same height and width as your background image, or put background-repeat: no-repeat in your css under the .alert class.
Hope this helps and good luck!
Please check your URL, if possible you can use firebug which is addon of firefox, which will definitely help you, by indicating if image has been loaded or not.
Else another solution would be give height to your alert class as follows
.alert {
width: 20em;
background-image: url('/alert.png'); /* '/images/alert.png' */
background-color:orange;
margin: auto;
padding: 2em;
height: /* height of image*/
}
First put your alert.png picture in the same folder as your html file.
Then try this in your CSS file:
body {
background: orange url("alert.png") no-repeat;
}
I think the problem was the "\" in \alert.png
Good luck!
In the original question he had in his css
background-image: url(C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\alert.png);
I ran into problems with a gallery page that had images as background thumbnails. Any image filename that had spaces would not appear. It was only the fact that one image happened to have underscores in place of spaces and that did appear that I was able to track it down. As there are spaces in his url, this could be the problem. I fixed my problem by using \ to escape any characters like spaces causing the problem. i.e.
A\ space\ in\ the\ filename.jpg
though this might not work in a Windows pathname!
If the image is in the same directory as the script he shouldn't need the full url anyway.
