Header image responsive centered - html

I´m trying to code a header image similar to the one on this page: http://www.eltrecetv.com.ar/nosotros-a-la-manana. Pay attention to what happens to the image of the guy when you resize the page. It stays in the same place, it´s always centered and it doesn´t crop (a little at the bottom but not that much anyway). Here´s my humble and succinct code: (and here´s a fiddle too: https://jsfiddle.net/wvep5ga1/ )
html:
<div class="outer">
</div>
css:
.outer{
background:url(http://eltrecetv.cdncmd.com/sites/default/files/styles/1440x386/public/nosotrosalamanana.jpg);
background-size:cover;
background-origin:padding-box;
background-position:top center;
min-height:386px;
}
The problem I find is when I resize the browser window the div compresses to the point where it´s only visible the face of the man, as oppposed to what happens in the original page where you can always see the shoulders. I don´t know if i´m explaining this correctly, but basically on window resizing the height of the div varies much faster than what it does on the original page and that affects the rest of the page, beacuse the image of the man must always stay in the same place and must always have the same aspect ratio. I have the aspect ratio issue solved, but i´m having problems with the height of the div compressing and expanding too much on windows resize.
The original page was done using Drupal 7, I think. But what i want is a css snippet that does just that. I know it´s possible, i´ve tried everyhting for hours but i missing something. I know the original page uses many images with different resolutions but that´st no the issue.
Hope somebody can help. I look forward for your comments.
Thanks in advance!

See updated fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/wvep5ga1/3/
just add
background-size: 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
Like this:
.abc{
background:url(http://eltrecetv.cdncmd.com/sites/default/files/styles/1440x386/public/nosotrosalamanana.jpg);
background-size: 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-origin: padding-box;
background-position:top center;
min-height:386px;
}

White Space on Larger Monitors When Background Image ends

I am using Bootstrap, HTML and CSS for my website. I built it on my Macbook Pro, and now when I move to my desktop monitor (which is much larger), there seems to be a large white space on the right side of the web page due to the monitor being much larger in width.
The height is working perfectly fine and it scales well, but it seems like right when the image ends (width) the site wants to keep going, but is not stretching the image to fit the larger monitors horizontally (width).
How can I fix this?
Image of Website Problem:
This is what I came up with so far.
body {
background-image: url("http://i.imgur.com/vDF3k2s.jpg");
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
font-family: Lato;
}
html {
height: 100%;
}
I appreciate all suggestions, thanks!
Without your HTML code, I can't exactly replicate what you are doing, so I will have to assume some things... always dangerous! LOL!
Anyway, I will first tell you what I believe is going on, then I will explain some things to do to combat that, and then I will provide the actual code, based off of the code you have already supplied.
Ok, I believe what is happening is that since you haven't specified where within the body you want the background image, by default the browser is giving you the image at 100% of it's original size and floated to the left.
In order to get a fullscreen image, which is what I believe you are shooting for, I would first place the background image within the "html" tag instead of the "body" tag. Second, I would let the browser know that you want the image to be centered and not to repeat. Then I would tell the browser that you want the image to "cover the screen".
So, with that said, here is the code for what I just explained:
html {
background: url("http://i.imgur.com/vDF3k2s.jpg")no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
overflow: auto;
}
I should explain that I have deleted the -webkit, -moz, etc. portions of the code. That is because "overflow" is compatible with so many older versions of the most commonly used browsers, that to write that in your code is unnecessary.
Also, when I'm creating a fullscreen background image on a page, I usually use "background" instead of "background-image" and I have the "overflow" as "hidden". I can't honestly tell you if that is a "best practice" or if your writing "overflow" as "auto" is, but I also don't know what other content you plan to put in place, etc.
Anyway, I hope my solution helps and please hit me back to let me know!

How do I make a full width picture extend, through using CSS, without effecting the quality of the picture?

I have been doing some HTML and CSS and have come across a problem that I hope someone can help with.
I am trying to make a full width picture cover a whole Div without a significant loss of quality to the picture.
An example of what I am trying to achieve is similar to the following websites:
https://sso.godaddy.com/v1/?app=mya&realm=idp&
http://www.ugle.org.uk/
Both websites use a picture which quality seams to not dissolve through being expanded or contracted.
How is this done?
Any one know of any tutorials or have example code that they could show me. I have created a picture that can vary to the browsers window size but its quality is awful when the browser changes size.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Very easy. There are a few ways to do this, but the most straightforward is to set the image as the background of the div, with the background size property set to cover: background-size: cover;
For example (CSS):
div {
background: url('path/to/your/image.jpg') no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
}
Edit: Addressing image quality:
You'd need to make sure your background image is equal to or larger than the div's dimensions. If it's smaller - it'll be stretched to fit (this degrading the quality).

Why does the background image not cover the whole page sometimes?

I have an HTML page where I have an image as a background. Whenever I view the page on my iPhone 6, the background image sometimes doesn't cover the whole page. This happens only about 20% of the time and doesn't happen after reloading the page. It always happens when I clear cache and website data on my phone. This is the CSS to set it to the background(I got it from the web by searching "how to make a good CSS background image")
html { /*Copied from the web*/
background: url(img/sea.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
body{
background: none;
}
The url of the page is msolonko.net/signup.php.
As you can see on the image, there is white space below the login button. Why does the image work correctly sometimes, but rarely not? How can I fix this?
EDIT:
Changing resolutions of the image has no effect on the issue.
I do not want the image to repeat. It looks good with just one image if the issue doesn't occur.
Also, if I cannot fix this issue, I will make the image only appear if it is a computer. If the device width is less than some threshold, I will just use a background color instead of image. I am still hoping I can fix this though.
Two solutions: Make it so the image repeats (turn no-repeat to repeat) or..
Increase the height of sky.jpg since sky.jpg is not tall enough to fit the phone.
So if I'm not mistaking (which I probably am), you should make your sky.jpg image 960 x 660 pix. Some average phone pixel resolutions at http://www.binvisions.com/articles/tablet-smartphone-resolutions-screen-size-list/
This should help! Sorry if it didn't.
EDIT: Did you at least try the techniques? (I'm new to Stack, I can't comment)
edit the image before you load the page, make the correct size for it and there you got.
be recursive.
(i have the same problem and do it this way becouse i found no way to find a solution in the code.)
i use programs like photoshop and corel.
I got it! I was learning some CSS... CSS Code:
body {
background-image:sky.jpg; /*or whatever*/
}
Should work...maybe.

Responsive Webdesign - Header

Before i shoot my question and someone shoots me after:
I most likely searched the entire web to solve my problem, as i'm here...you will understand that my problem isn't solved by now...
I'm so frustrated cause...there is not 1 solution but many! All of them have pro's & con's. I'm a person who always looks for logic...and we all know in webdeveloping, there is not much or none at all.
I'm looking for something simple, very simple. - A header image that is responsive. I've inspected many many websites that are a great example but they ALL use something different. From Background-size:contain to table-cells. Let me shut up now and explain my frustration.
This is what i would like to get:
Link 3 It doesn't have to be a video..just a image...
I would like a header that uses a background-image where i can place text on (Centered horizontaly & vertical) top of the background image. I also would like the image to be responsive. I achieved something close but i don't think i'm doing it the right way cause i'm using a fixed height for my image. I don't find another solution cause if i don't put a height, nothing shows up.
This is what i have:
My Website
I hope i make myself clear...
Can someone help me! Please??? Pretty please???
Please check this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/gszzapsd/6/. Is this how you want the header to function when you reduce the size of the screen? The bellroy.com website which you've quoted, they are actually using an image with 100% width and auto height and then the text which says LIVE LIFE OUTSIDE is positioned absolutely over it. This is how their code of that particular section looks like:
<div id="landingCover" class="snow">
<img src="http://assets.bellroy.com/skin/frontend/default/bellroy/images/elements/snow/cover.1405318855.jpg" alt="" class="hidden-image" width="1348">
<div class="landing-fixed-header skrollable skrollable-between" data-0="top:0%; opacity:1" data-top-bottom="top:15%; opacity:0" style="top: 0%; opacity: 1;">
<h1>LIVE LIFE OUTSIDE</h1>
<h2>EXTRA WALLET PROTECTION FOR ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS</h2>
</div>
</div>
Nevertheless, if you'd like the background-image of your header div to scale based on the size of the browser window, please add these styles to the CSS of #page_title on your website:
#page_title {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
background-position: center;
}

responsive layer on layer

first of all keep in mind I uderstand a very little of HTML language...
if you answer, do it as if you'd do it to a 10yo boy...
The question:
I'd like to have a background image in my website and another one on it.
the bg's image can be freely resized to match the screen or mobile size,
but the second one should keep its aspect ratio....!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/110747328#N03/
![you'll see on the left the full screen size and on the right the mobile size][1]
I dont know if understand you correctly. Here's what I get:
You want your bg image to be dynamically resized according to the size of the screen, but not the "content".
You can get the first by using the "background-size: cover"'s CSS property for your background:
body {
background: url('path-to-your-image.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
After that, if you just create a div and put your content in it. You'll get what you want: for the background to be resized and the content to keep its proportions.
Here is a live example: http://jsfiddle.net/agarridob/8NtwE/
By the way, I strongly recommend that you take a look at http://www.bentobox.io, where you'll find lots of resources that will help you understand a bit of what this HTML & CSS is.
