I have an JPG image with size 1024 x 724. My page size is not fixed. My requirement is: If I resize the page then the background image should also resize and fit to the page.
You should do this with backgroud-size in css
If you'd like to use CSS3, you can do it pretty simply using background-size, like so:
background-size: 100%;
in you div you can add the style directly without using a css external file
<div style ="background-size: 100%;" ....> .... </div>
You need to make a 100% width b aground which must cover up you complete background.
So please add this css in you style.css file.
html {
background: url(yourimage.jpg);
background-size:cover;
}

so, a normal way to get the background in html is this:
<style>
body {
background-image: url('https://media.giphy.com/media/itTRilS6MUfqMCQbgZ/giphy.gif');
}
</style>
but now let's suppose i need the background to be BIGGER, so much big that GIPHY just won't allow, you can't use width='' and height='', so now is there a way i can just do i straight from the html?
You have background-size and background-position in CSS to play with.

I have tried to add the image in the page, but end up the image is too big for the viewport.

I tried some way that has been posted put none of them working. Is there anyway to do this without resizing the image by using fixed width/height
try to use
width : 100%
Here some update on your codepen
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/vjMWYo
try using max-width:100% on image. Something like this:
img {
max-width: 100%;
}
<img src="http://via.placeholder.com/1700x400" />
What is the best way to get a smaller version of an image I want to use onto a webpage, but still allow the person to view the full image if they click "view image"? This question could really be broken down into two parts:
Say my image is 900x900px: Is there a way I can display that image at a much smaller size, like 100x100px (so that the browser does not have to load the entire 900px image) but allow the person to see full size image if they click "view image"?
Additionally, what is the best way to take the 900px image, and display it at only 100px? Assuming I can't do this ahead of time with photo editing software, should I use the height and width tags in HTML or in CSS? (It seems like they both resize the image (scale) rather than crop). Thanks
With the usual approach to use the heightand width attributes, the whole image still has to be transferred to the browser.
So if you add a link somewhere (the image itself could be the link), the user is still able to access the complete (900 x 900 px) image.
Regarding image cropping: There is some trickery you can use as outlined in this SO answer.
JsFiddle Demo 1 (the image itself is used as a link to the original full-sized image)
JsFiddle Demo 2 (using the first demo as a base, but this time cropped the image)
Easiest way is to use it as a background to a div and then use the background-sizeattribute. An example would be what I did with my website.
<div id="image"
style="background-image:url(images/Greensburg-Commons-Oblique2.jpg);
background-position:20% 20%;
background-size:600px 800px;">
</div>
Using this method, I was able to take a 3200x2400 photo and scale it down to 800x600 photo. Plus, In my opinion, it's a lot easier to style a div with a background photo than just a plain image and I feel it just does more. Just so you know, background-position changes what part of the scaled in photo you show :)
<div id="image"
style="background-image:url(images/Greensburg-Commons-Oblique2.jpg);
background-size:100% 100%;">
</div>
Also, you could change the background size to 100% by 100% and that way the background will display the full image all the time and will automatically scale down as your window size changes or screen size :). Best for fluid layouts.
well you can set the image as a background of a div and then set the background-size property
#yourDiv{
width:100 px;
height:100 px;
background:url('path/to/your/image');
background-size: 100px 100px;
}
you could set different properties for :hover but you'd need to use javascript to change the properties onclick
You can use a lightbox or with just CSS, but it will resize the page. Now this is a very simple example so don't expect a beautiful display.
HTML
<img src="img.png" class="resize">
CSS
.resize {
width:100px;
height:100px;
}
.resize:hover {
height:900px;
width:900px;
}
Now personally I would use a javascript or just a lightbox. It will look much better right out of the box with minimal adjustments. Just my 2 cents.
I was trying to set an image as background image for my django application. But when i set it, it is getting displayed as tiled image. ie without actually stretching the image, same image is tiled and shown 4 times. Can somebody tell me how to stretch the image and set it as a background image. I will paste my code here. I am sure some attribute must be there setting this, which i couldnt find on googling.
<body bgcolor=" #408080" background="/static/paper.jpg" background-size: 100%; >
Instead of using a background image on the body tag you should add a image tag right below body, set the position to absolute and a low z-index and then have width=100% and height=100%.
You need to apply this as a style, not as an attribute. That will work if your browser supports CSS 3:
style="background: url(/static/paper.jpg); background-size: 100%;"
Some background info:
http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/
http://css-tricks.com/how-to-resizeable-background-image/
In short: no, you can't stretch the background image with html/css1/css2, you're only options is to either use css3 ( witch is not fully suported by all browsers ) or to use background-attachment and background-repeat css porperties to achieve an alternative result …
Another option would be to use an img tag as a background using z-index css proprety however you'll find it dificult to get it working proprely in all major browsers .
You can stretch your background to 100% width and height by putting your image in an <img> tag and give it a z-index of -1 so it acts like a background and is behind everything else. This works in all browsers.
<img src="..." />
img{
position:absolute;
z-index:-1;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
If you do not want to break the aspect ratio, just set either width or height and not both.
Check working example at http://jsfiddle.net/UXBRM/1/
Edit your image with paint. Click image and save your image according to your need.
This will work in any html , surely.
As others mention, you should always try to define as much of the attributes in your css and not directly where you have the path to the image itself. This is how it was done way back and is deprecated and probably why it is not working.
use the img src="poefwpf.png" and maybe a to easy edit in your css:
#imgex img {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
(maybe also z-index:-1;)
}
I'm getting a problem in html and css,
I used a bg image for my popup window whose size is 500px width and 400px height;
having a scrollable text in it. but problem is that if i reduce a size of browser it get distorted. Please help me if i can make it scalable background and according to that text as per browser size.
Thanks

You cannot scale a background if you defined it as part of your CSS without using some JS. In the example below, the black part of the background would scale/resize with the browser window but the image would not; the img would just happily sit # top:0, left:0, render 1:1 and laugh at you.
/* Black will scale, images does not */
#someDiv {
display:block;
width:100%;
height:100%;
background:#000 url(someImage.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;
}
If you need to have your background image in your CSS for whatever reason, then read this http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/ for how to manage scaling CSS backgrounds w/ JS
or
If you defined your background as an img then you have a better chance and you don't even need to use JS (although you probably should if you want to maintain ratio/scale).
