I am wondering how can I something like this with CSS & HTML:
https://www.vatsim.net
You open the page and you get a backrgound that fits all the browser, but then you scroll down and you get a solid color as background and more info.
I tried with this, but is not what I am looking for, I want something like the link on the top,

Thank you very much!
You can get far by just adding a bit of CSS. In the snippet below, there are two divs. The first one is for the top area with the image. The second one is for the rest of the content.
The first div gets a height of 100vh, making it 100% of the screen height. The background image is centered and set to scale so it covers the entire div. And, well, that's basically all there is to it. No script needed.
* { /* Just get rid of some whitespace */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
div.image {
height: 100vh; /* div is 100% of viewport height */
background-image: url(https://www.ancestry.com/wiki/images/archive/a/a9/20100708215937!Example.jpg);
background-size: cover; /* Entire div is covered by the image */
background-position: center; /* Image is centered relatively to the div. */
}
/* Just some styling to make it visible. */
div {
color: white;
font-size: 150%;
}
div.content {
color: black;
background-color: #eee;
height: 2000px;
}
<div class="image">This is the top area. The image exactly covers the view.</div>
<div class="content">This is the rest of the content. You can scroll down a bit just to see what happens.</div>
The webpage you added is basicly splitted to divs, the first is 100% height and 100% width. therefore you can see him all over your screen.
The others are just divs with 100% width but not 100% height, which gives you the ability to switch the background color from light gray to white and then to gray.
Not too complicated but yet a nice design

I'm trying to place one div with a partially transparent background (meaning regions of the image are blank -- not X% opacity) on top of another.
#about {
background-image:url('http://i.imgur.com/B922OoM.png');
background-position: center;
background-repeat: none;
background-size: cover;
background-color: transparent;
z-index: 2;
height: 450px;
width: 100%;
}
I can't get the div to not fill with white behind the image.
jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/4HAxu/ -- the relevant div is #about
(I'm pretty sure the image is exported properly -- if you change background-color:transparent to background-color:blue, you'll see what I mean.)
Your image is fine.
It's the fact your #header doesn't actually extend down that far. If you change the background colour of your body you'll see it's not your #about div it's the body showing behind it that is white
Red BG body JSFiddle
To alleviate this problem, if you actually overlay your divs you will get the effect I think you're trying to achieve.
Overlayed divs with negative top margin
Css
body {
margin: 0;
padding 0;
min-width: 1072px;
height: 100%;
background: url('bg_repeat.png') center top repeat;
}
.bg {
min-height: 100%;
background: url('bg_center.png') center top repeat-y;
}
.page {
width: 1024px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
}
Html
<body>
<div class="bg">
<div class="page"></div>
</div>
</body>
It's essentially a centered fixed width page with a pattern background and an additional bg div to add a vertical gradient lighting effect.
The problem:
When I have a 100% width div next to a horizontally centered div, I get those 1px back and forth shifts when resizing the browser window horizontally.
.page does not align to the backgrounds of bg and body or their centered text. In otherwords .page does not remain in the same exact horizontal position relative to the background image's position.
It's a minor problem. I don't have any pixel-perfect patterns or anything. I'm more just curious about this if it's even possible. I have seen IE 11 blurring or doing some half-a-pixel shifts with pixel perfect repeating backgrounds with certain window widths.
FIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/HJsNY/
However the problem does not reproduce in the fiddle. But the exact code causes 1px offsets in a full window. (using Chrome)
EDIT: Actually this jsfiddle does reproduce in Chrome. But only when the iframe width gets large enough (>~1300px) for some reason. On FF it's noticable on small window widths too.
Here's what happens: 1px background offset that keeps alternating when resizing browser window.
I think you need a css reset. Firefox (like every browser) displays css with some intern css. You must remove it.
Add this to your html :
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
I updated your JsFiddle.
If you want more info this, I already wrote it here.
Did it solve your case ?
I'm a complete beginner. I tried my best to search for a solution, but part of the problem is that I don't even know what the technical term is for the thing I'm trying to do.
Essentially I want to have a tiled background repeating everywhere, but then also have a white rectangle that extends from the top of the page to the bottom, occupying roughly 50% of the horizontal screen space. How would I go about accomplishing this?
If I get it correctly, you might just want a repeated background of the page and then absolutely-positioned <div> with white background.
This is pretty basic stuff, I suggest you take a beginner's course in HTML and CSS before going too much further.
body {background: url(tile.png) left top repeat;}
content {background-color: #fff; margin: 0px auto; width: 50%;}
I hope this is what you wanted. It is a tiled, repeating background with a white strip, half the screen space, going down the middle. If you want a tiled background, you don't need to define anything in CSS, and CSS will do it for you, but I'm not sure with the browser compatibility so it might be safer to explicitly define repeat:.
First of all, to those complaining that height: 100% does not work, note that the div with height: 100% is only being the height: 100% of its parent element (the container that encloses the div, in the case of this JSFiddle, the #container). Therefore, if its parent has no content, the div with 100% height will become invisible.
Therefore, the html, body and container must all have height: 100% for the white strip to have 100% height here in this JSFiddle:
JSFiddle
After this you are free to add any content to the white strip, which will probably be your webpage! :D
Note: Here I have defined the strip as width: 50%; but sometimes it may be better to explicitly define the width (width: 1200px;) so that you can avoid problems with the text and divs going haywire when you zoom in, zoom out, etc.
Edit:
Also, since the height of the container increases as you add more content, such as divs, the problem with the white strip not reaching the bottom of the page is that you simply have nothing that fills it up. As you add more content the strip will naturally grow to fill the page. Good luck!
Solution 1
Here's a solution that uses only the background CSS property applied to document body, no extra elements needed. It's documented so you can understand whats going on.
body
{
/*
* This specifies two background images, separated by comma
* First parameter is just a white pixel
* For the second use any background pattern of your choice
*/
background-image:url("http://i.imgur.com/qdx0kzd.png"),
url("http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/tasky_pattern.png");
/*Center background images, self-explanatory*/
background-position: center;
/*Repeat white background image on Y-axis (vertical) only*/
background-repeat: repeat-y, repeat;
/*Make white background size 50%. Adjust as needed*/
background-size: 50%, auto;
}
You can see an example in this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/dV2zZ/6/
Solution 2
This solution applies different backgrounds to different elements: the pattern to the document body, and the white background to a content container. Code is also documented for better understanding.
HTML
<div id="content">Content</div>
CSS
html, body
{
margin: 0;
/* Make document size extend to the bottom of the page */
height: 100%;
}
body
{
/*Patern background. Use a pattern of your choice*/
background-image: url("http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/tasky_pattern.png");
}
#content
{
/*Make container background white*/
background-color: #FFFFFF;
/*Center container*/
margin: 0 auto;
/*Size 50%, adjust as needed*/
width: 50%;
/*Extend to the bottom*/
height: 100%;
}
See an example fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/jDRG3/1/
Im trying to markup a picture to show on the bottom right corner of the webpage.
If i set the overall width of the page to 100%
and i set the picture to float right at the bottom it makes the trick perfectly but above
the mentioned picture is a bigger width picture which is around 1600px so when you open the the page in the small window browser then the floated picture is aligned but the scrollbar apears and scrolls to the full width of the page without the floated picture..
body{width:100%;}
thepicture{width: 1289px;
height: 446px;
position:relative;
float:right;}
So the second aproach: to make the body or a wrapper div fix width that is bigger than the upper picture mentioned:
body{min-width:1600px;}
Than looks great until somebody has a bigger screen than 1600px... the float ends at 1600px;
The firs solution needs to be tweaked but i cant figure it out how, some responsive floating would be great jquery maybe?
thanks in forwards
The problem is the pearl:)
Updated
May be this work:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%
min-width: 1648px; /* the width of the longest element */
}
#bottomwrap {
/* replace with your background color */
background: url(path/to/picture) bottom right no-repeat;
width: 100%;
}
Rememer to reset body margin, padding to zero and set body height to 100%
Update:
I have update the solution for your case, modify the HTML structure, you can review here http://jsbin.com/ulatis/1/edit
It sounds like you need to use a background image here. Put the background on a 100% width div and set the background position to right bottom.
div.background{background: url('images/bg.png') no-repeat right bottom; width: 100%}
Try position: fixed; z-index: -1;, it does exactly what you're looking for. Example
I'm trying to improve user compatibility of a site for 800 x 600px monitors.
I have a 'headerbackground' div which is 900px wide, and contains nothing but a background image. The rest of the site is nested inside that div, with a width of 790px.
What I'd like to do is show the full 900px 'headerbackground' div if the browser window is greater than 900px, but not trigger a horizontal scrollbar in the browser if the screen res is between 790 & 900px.
I'm aware that this can be easily achieved with a centered 'background' image on the body tag, but that isn't a feasible option in this case because the current body background image has a horizontally-repeating background, and the header background image doesn't repeat.
Any suggestions appreciated
Edit: Image attached for clarity.
If you use the CSS background-image property for your 'headerbackground div,' and headerbackground is less than the size of the background image, a scroll bar will not be triggered. Rather, the background image will be truncated.
Update:
You should be able to make your headerbackground div non fixed-width so it fills the entire body. Then, you could make its background image centered. Try this for your CSS:
body { background-color: blue; }
#headerbackground {
background-color: red;
background-image: url(your/url.png);
background-position: center top;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#content {
background-color: green;
width: 790px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
...Aand a couple minutes after I post, I figure it out for myself. Sorry. In case anyone else has the same problem:
Give headerbackground div a width of 100%, and a min-width the same as the internal divs. Center the headerbackground div's background image. Finally, you'll need a min-width hack to make IE 6 happy.
