How to keep an image background image still? - html

I would like to keep an image fixed as a background while I scroll a semi-transparent box over it. However when I try an do this on a 4:3 ratio screen the image just cuts in half.
Here is my CSS:
.content {
background-color: black;
background-image:url('http://xurbia.tk/alpha/pictures/Croped%20Xurbiar%20Logo%20Mr.%20Isolation.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center;
}
Here is an example of what I would like to do:

Any help would be much appreciated.


Set the background on the body tag instead of .content, that will do it.
body {
background-color: black;
background-image:url('http://xurbia.tk/alpha/pictures/Croped%20Xurbiar%20Logo%20Mr.%20Isolation.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center;
}
Updated Example


This sounds more like a problem with your background-size, not keeping it still.
Try background-size: contain instead of cover.

CSS background image height automatically getting cropped

.bg-image {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center;
}
Here is the CSS code I use to set background-image for a div. The issue I'm facing is that the image height automatically get cropped on reaching a specific screen width (device size). How can I solve this?

You should use the background-size: contain; instead. But in this case, you will have empty space either from the top and bottom or from left and right, depending on the screen resolution if the image container is responsive and the image aspect ratio.

If you want your background image to take as much as possible of space without been cropped you can use this like Merianos stated :
.bg-image {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center;
background-size: contain;
}
But if you need to specify the exact width and height you can use the same property with percentage or pixels.
.bg-image {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center;
background-size: 100px 100px;
}

Background Image not following cover rule

My background image is scaling down as the window width decreases. I want the image to be full image regardless of the display. How would I implement that? The following code scales the image, then starts only show a section.
header {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
min-height: auto;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
background-image: url(../img/header.jpg);
background-position: center !important;
background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
}

If I'm reading your question right, simply set your header width to the width of the image.

If you are trying to full width background image for your header(Hero Header).
Try these code examples.

How to make a repeating background on my site?

My site, http://kunal.vr.lt has a background of 1920x1080, but it doesn't repeat, and on mobile browsers, it just shows a white empty space under the picture. How would I go about making the background consistent?
The index is linked to CSS file, if that helps

Please change this From your css it reslove your issue
body {
background-image: url("1886508.jpg");
/* background-repeat: no-repeat; Remove it*/
background-size: 1920px 1080px;
}

You can use background-size: cover
body {
background-image: url("1886508.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
/*background-size: 1920px 1080px;*/
background-size: cover;
}

How do I get my background image to not be cut off at the bottom?

I have a large background image that is fixed with text being displayed on top of it, however the bottom of the image is being clipped off. I want the image to be displayed completely and not be cropped off.
#content {
background-image: url(../images/bean.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
background-attachment: fixed;
height: 40em;
margin-top: 0;
padding: 0;}

Set background-size to be 100vw 100vh i.e background-size: 100vw 100vh;
#content {
background-image: url(http://lorempixel.com/1400/1400/sports/3/);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100vw 100vh;
background-attachment: fixed;
height: 40em;
margin-top: 0;
padding: 0;}
Checkout this DEMO: http://jsbin.com/buqaju/1/

To have the background always cover the whole container you can use:
background-size: cover;
Source: http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/
Pay attention to browser support: http://caniuse.com/#search=background-size (hint: No IE8)
Also, I noticed it's not very performant on pages with a lot of transparencies and moving backgrounds, but other than that I use it quite a lot and it works well.

Increase the height?
height: 100em;

you have
background-size:100%;
use
background-size: 100% 100%;

.bg_care{
background-image: url(../img/care-area.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
just use background-size as cover it wont cut off.

You could also modify your background as such:
background: url(xyz.jpg) no-repeat **center center** fixed;
where you change the center values as needed (left,right,bottom,top). Depending on the image it may be useful.

How do I stretch a background image to cover the entire HTML element?

I'm trying to get a background image of a HTML element (body, div, etc.) to stretch its entire width and height.
Not having much luck. Is it even possible or do I have to do it some other way besides it being a background image?
My current css is:
body {
background-position: left top;
background-image: url(_images/home.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Edit: I'm not keen on maintaining the CSS in Gabriel's suggestion so I'm changing the layout of the page instead. But that seems like the best answer so I'm marking it as such.

<style>
{ margin: 0; padding: 0; }
html {
background: url('images/yourimage.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>

Use the background-size property: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-background-size

In short you can try this....
<div data-role="page" style="background:url('backgrnd.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 100% 100%;" >
Where I have used few css and js...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.css" />
<script src="js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.js"></script>
And it is working fine for me.

Not sure that stretching a background image is possible. If you find that it's not possible, or not reliable in all of your target browsers, you could try using a stretched img tag with z-index set lower, and position set to absolute so that other content appears on top of it.
Let us know what you end up doing.
Edit: What I suggested is basically what's in gabriel's link. So try that :)

To expand on #PhiLho answer, you can center a very large image (or any size image) on a page with:
{
background-image: url(_images/home.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
Or you could use a smaller image with a background color that matches the background of the image (if it is a solid color). This may or may not suit your purposes.
{
background-color: green;
background-image: url(_images/home.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}

If you need to stretch your background image while resizing the screen and you don't need compatibility with older browser versions this will do the work:
body {
background-image: url('../images/image.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}

If you have a large landscape image, this example here resizes the background in portrait mode, so that it displays on top, leaving blank on the bottom:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
min-height: 100%;
}
body {
background-image: url('myimage.jpg');
background-position-x: center;
background-position-y: bottom;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
#media screen and (orientation:portrait) {
body {
background-position-y: top;
-webkit-background-size: contain;
-moz-background-size: contain;
-o-background-size: contain;
background-size: contain;
}
}

The following code I use mostly for achieving the asked effect:
body {
background-image: url('../images/bg.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}

background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;

It works for me
.page-bg {
background: url("res://background");
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}

You cannot in pure CSS. Having an image covering the whole page behind all other components is probably your best bet (looks like that's the solution given above). Anyway, chances are it will look awful anyway. I would try either an image big enough to cover most screen resolutions (say up to 1600x1200, above it is scarcer), to limit the width of the page, or just to use an image that tile.

image{
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
padding: 0 3em 0 3em;
margin: -1.5em -0.5em -0.5em -1em;
width: absolute;
max-width: 100%;

Simply make a div to be the direct child of body (with the class name bg for example), encompassing all other elements in the body, and add this to the CSS file:
.bg {
background-image: url('_images/home.jpg');//Put your appropriate image URL here
background-size: 100% 100%; //You need to put 100% twice here to stretch width and height
}
Refer to this link: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_images.asp
Scroll down to the part that says:
If the background-size property is set to "100% 100%", the background image will stretch to cover the entire content area
There it shows the 'img_flowers.jpg' stretching to the size of the screen or browser regardless of how you resize it.
