I would like to make a responsive picture like on this template:
http://livedemo00.template-help.com/wt_57569/
When you zoom out of the page, the picture scales with it. (I'm talking about the one with pipes if I'm not obvious.)
Thanks for the help.
In the example you provides, it seems like background image. So you can style it like below
background-image: url("../images/image_name.jpg");
background-size: cover;
Add this to your CSS:
img .responsive {
max-width:100%;
height: auto;
}
As i see on the example page you need a resizeable "div" background.
Example code: (change image url to yours)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div class="bg">
<h2>Title</h2>
<p>Text</p>
</div>
</body>
<style>
.bg{
background-image: url("83741.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size:100%;
width:100%;
height:300px;
}
</style>
</html>
With "width:100%" you make the div to fit always to the page's width in this case (not perfectly, you should set the margins to zero to achieve perfect fit).
With "background-size:100%" you make a "responsive" background, and the height should be fixed, as we can see in the example you gave.

Been writing code for the background of a website. The goals are 1) 100% height of the browser window for the first image 2) image stays centered in window and sides are cut off 3) on the home page there is also two additional images that need to have the same effect. Been trying and writing different code chunks and not getting anywhere. I can get one part which just breaks another. Thank you for any assistnaceCurrent code chunk is as follows:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Background Image</title>
<style>
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
.background {
background: no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="background">
<img src="images/bg.png">
</div>
<div class="background bg2">
<img src="images/bg2.png">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Not sure if I fully understand what your question is but for your image to get the height of the window you need to
.background {
background-image: url(images/bg.png);
height: 100vh;
}
That way the background image will always use the full height of the viewport. Not sure about the rest of the question tho!
If I understand what you are trying to do, there are a few things with your code that is wrong. First I will explain a couple of things and then I'll provide the code that I came up with that works when I tested it. Here goes...
First, in your style element, where you have ".background:", you don't need any of the code that you wrote. The stuff that mentions webkit, moz, etc. is really for stuff that may have cross browser compatibility problems. background-size is not one of those things you would have to worry about with that. The only thing I would put in your "background" class is width and height of 100%.
Second, speaking of width and height, I would include and "html" and "body" element and give them both a width and height of 100%.
Third, you are trying to have your images listed in your html, but you are trying to style them as if you are having your css produce them. Notice how in my html I left the "background" divs empty and then included the url of the photos in the css.
In a nutshell, I believe you may be a little confused as to what method should be used and when/where, because you are actually fusing different approaches together. That said, here is the code I wrote...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Background Image</title>
<style>
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.background {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#bg1 {
background: url(images/bg.png) no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
}
#bg2 {
background: url(images/bg2.pngg) no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="background" id="bg1">
</div>
<div class="background" id="bg2">
</div>
</body>
</html>

Hi Please do not bash on me or give me negative vote because I really did spend the time and trying to find the answer. From what I searched, this is what I have. I am trying to make a background image as my body but when I put no repeat on, it just a single tile rather than it stretching. Ive been trying to find a code that will stretch it out but nothing is there. I tried youtube and tried looking on here
this is my code
body{
background-image: url(https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
my HTML
<html>
<body>
<div id="container">
</div>
</body>
</html>

A better approach than using the body element would be to place a div that does this for you.
<head>
<style>
#background{
background-image: url(https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA);
position:fixed;
right:0;left:0;top:0;bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="bacgrkound"></div>
</body>
This will work:
body {
background: url((https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA) no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
body {
background: url((https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA) no-repeat;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
}
This will cover your screen.
http://jsbin.com/IJObemU/1/
body{
background: url(image.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
you can remove the fixed when you need to make your background cover bot not on the body element (if you're applying the background on some element that scrolls with the page).
I have a large image that I want to set as the background for a 404 page. I want the image to be 100% wide every time someone loads the page, so that if their screen is smaller the image becomes smaller, if the screen is bigger, the image stretches. The height should change based on the width, it doesn't need to be the height of the page.
I don't have the code for this. Would it be better to do it in the HTML file or the CSS file?
Can you possible create a JSfiddle that could serve as an example? Thanks!
Just add this to your CSS code...
body {
background-image:url('http://imageshack.com/scaled/large/268/gjb.png');
background-size:100%,100%;
}
And then create a body...
<body>
Dummy Code
</body>

This is best left to CSS. Hard to tell without your code exactly, but the following should do what you want:
CSS
html {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
body {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
#background {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-image: url('http://www.placekitten.com/200/200');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
HTML
<div id="background">
<div id="content">
Hello world!
</div>
</div>
UPDATE
See the fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/DrydenLong/jywbd/
UPDATE #2
I'd like to point out, just in case those reading through don't see the comments on my post below, that while applying the background-image property directly to the body selector is simpler, it will also apply that same image to every page referencing that CSS file. Should you choose to use a single CSS file for your entire website, my code above will make it easier to have different background images for the 404 page and the rest of the site.
HTML Body content
none
CSS
html {
background: url(http://www.astrophotography.co.nz/Lrg_Slides/20120619Milkyway.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Demo(updated)
I think what you are really looking for is a background-attachment property.
body {
background-image:url('http://IMAGEURL');
background-attachment:fixed;
width: 100%;
}
You dont need to setup height property here, it's done for you automatically.
How about this:
body{background:url(http://www.astrophotography.co.nz/Lrg_Slides/20120619Milkyway.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; background-size:100% auto;}
I am trying to position my logo onto the background image on my website but w/o success. The original size of my logo is 712x200 px. But I wanted it a bit smaller so I added height:140px and width:500px to my css (this is proportional to the original size of my logo).
However, the logo image is not resized (it doesn't become smaller as I defined in my css). Insted, it is cropped!? How come?
And how do I center the logo onto my background image, so that my loggo always appears in the very center of the screen (vertical and horizontal).
Here is my css code:
.logoimage{
background: url("images/Logo.png") no-repeat scroll center;
width: 500px;
height: 140px;
}
Here is HTML:
<section id="home" class="photobg">
<div class="inner">
<div class="copy">
<h1 class="logoimage"></h1>
</div>
</div>
</section>
Btw, I found some similar example of what I am trying to do here: http://milkandpixels.com/
So, basically I have a background image and I want to add the logo on top of it which should be centered all the time. Thanks all!
Hmmm, does adding this style fix the issue?
.logoimage{
background-size: contain;
}
Otherwise, let me know and I'll be happy to help further!
You should use background-size:
.logoimage{
background: url("images/Logo.png") no-repeat scroll center;
background-size: 500px 140px;
}
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
put the image in the image tag, add a class to the image tag. In the class put:
.logoimage{
width: 500px;
height: auto;
}
If none of the other answers work, you could always try and scale with
height: 50%
width: 50%
This style might be useful:
.logoimage
{
background:url("flwr.gif");
background-size:140px 500px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
padding-top:40px;
}
I am trying to create an full width image above my nav bar, but I cant even get the image to show on screen. Here is my simple HTML:
<html>
<body>
<div class="wrapper" />
</body>
</html>
And the css:
.wrapper {
background-image: url(../assets/bridge.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
I see the jpg made it to my browser and can click on it in my resources, so there is no problem with the path. The screen is still blank and showing nothing. Any help would be awesome.
This is because height:100% is functionally useless, and your div resultingly has no height.
If you give the div a fixed height, the image should appear as expected.
Alternatively if you want the background image to apply to the background of the page, you can apply it to the <html> element and avoid the whole wrapper, 100% debacle.
html {
background-image: url(../assets/bridge.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/dolours/JcxLm/2/ Give a specific height, Height 100% is meaningless
.wrapper {
background-image: url(../assets/bridge.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
}
try this <div class="wrapper"></div>
It is possible that the image isn't showing because there is no content within the div and therefore it's size is 0. Try setting the width and height to a set size, something like 200px to test out this theory. Also I would change your code to:
<div class="wrapper"> </div>
you can use css for body tag, the css of body will be like this:
body{
background: url(../assets/bridge.jpg) center top no-repeat;
}
i think it will work for you, if you want just background image.
