div background images separate when scaling to mobile - html

I'm making a website using Dreamweaver CC 2015 and it's fluid grid layout. I got the design as I want it but when I resize the browser to simulate a tablet or smartphone the images do not stay together?
You can see it on this page: www.sverkel.dk

This is an issue with the value of background-size. You are setting it to 100%, but you should be setting it to 100% 100%. Once you fix that in the style sheet, the images will always stay together without leaving any gap between them. For example:
#midt {
background-image: url(../billeder/bgmidt.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 100%;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
Why does this happen? If background-size only gets one value, it is interpreted as the value of the width of the image, and the value of the height is set to auto. You need to specify two values so you are setting both width and height (source).
As explained in the comments below, this may cause some issues with the rounded borders not looking nice as the image is stretched.
If you can, it may be a good idea to move to a CSS-only solution (without images), that will adapt to the screen size and keep the proportions all the time. It will also save you some bandwidth as you'll stop using 100KB in images. The only con is that you may need to do some tricks to make it work in old browsers (although it doesn't seem like you need that, see JSFiddle below).
Something like this (you can also see a more in-depth sample on this JSFiddle):
body {
background: url(http://www.sverkel.dk/billeder/bg.jpg) center center;
}
.gridContainer {
width:90%;
max-width:1200px;
border-radius:10px;
box-shadow:0px 0px 16px rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
margin:auto auto;
text-align:center;
background:#e5e5e5;
}
.gridContainer #top {
background: #b4b4b4; /* Old browsers */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #b4b4b4 0%,#e5e5e5 100%); /* W3C */
height:125px;
border-radius:10px 10px 0px 0px;
}
.gridContainer #bund {
background: #b4b4b4; /* Old browsers */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #e5e5e5 0%,#b4b4b4 100%); /* W3C */
height:125px;
border-radius:0px 0px 10px 10px;
}
.gridContainer #menu {
background: #cf5858; /* Old browsers */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #cf5858 0%,#902727 100%); /* W3C */
height:45px;
line-height:45px;
color:rgba(255,255,255,0.9);
border-radius:10px;
margin:16px;
}
<br/>
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
<div id="top" class="fluid"></div>
<div id="menu" class="fluid">Forside - Produkter - Priser - Om - Kontakt</div>
<div id="midt" class="fluid">Hvad så der?</div>
<div id="bund" class="fluid"></div>

How can I create a polka dot border?

I am trying to create a polka dot border around my content. For example:
I have managed to achieve this by repeating an image (of two individual dots).
.dots {
background: url('/images/dots.png'), url('/images/dots.png'), url('/images/dots.png'), url('/images/dots.png');
background-repeat: repeat-y, repeat-y, repeat-x, repeat-x;
background-position: right top, left top, right top, right bottom;
}
However it is an imperfect result. On certain sizes the dots will start to overlap.
I'm not sure how to avoid this problem as the image doesn't seamlessly tile.
Is there some other approach I could take for an effect which doesn't suffer from these faults?
You can easily do this with radial-gradient as a repeated background then adjust the values depending on the height/width of the container:
.dots {
width:300px;
height:200px;
padding:60px 70px;
box-sizing:border-box;
background:
linear-gradient(#fff,#fff) 68px 50px/calc(100% - 136px) calc(100% - 100px) no-repeat,
radial-gradient(circle at 12px 12px,#000 20%, transparent 22%) 12px 2px/33px 50px,
radial-gradient(circle at 12px 12px,#000 20%, transparent 22%) 33px 27px/33px 50px;
}
<div class="dots">
The content here
</div>
The problem is occurring because your background image is not as wide as the screen, and is trying to repeat itself.
To correct this, the easiest solution would be background-size: cover. This ensures that the image fills the entire screen, meaning it will never 'wrap around'. Note that this will stretch the image so that some distortion occurs depending on the aspect ratio.
If distortion is a concern, there are other two possible solutions:
Ensure that the image is as large as the largest screen resolution you want to display it on (optimally additionally scaling up the size of the displayed image based on viewport)
Craft the image so that it perfectly overlaps itself when it wraps around, and then make use of background-repeat.
Here's an example of background-size: cover:
.dots {
border: 5px solid black; /* For Snippet */
height: 50vh; /* For Snippet */
width: 50vw; /* For Snippet */
background: url('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Polka_dots.svg/1200px-Polka_dots.svg.png');
background-size: cover;
}
<div class="dots"></div>

CSS Body background image is cut off when scrolling viewport [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Background image is cut off at bottom or right when scrolling viewport
(5 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
(This is a better rephrase of my initial question - you can mark the other one as a duplicate of this one. Thanks)
I saw quite a few similar questions but could not find a fix. Open this sample and resize the browser to make its height shorter than the main div height (~400 pixels).
When scrolling down, the background image attached to the body is cut off.
html {
height: 100%;
color: white;
}
body {
height:100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background:url(bg.jpg) repeat-x;
background-position: bottom;
background-size: contain;
}
/*#pageWrap { background:url(bg.jpg) repeat-x;}*/
#page {
height:100%;
}
#divHeader {
width:100%;
height:115px;
}
#divMain {
width:600px;
height:400px;
border: solid 1px brown;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="pageWrap">
<div id="page">
<div id="divHeader">Header</div>
<div id="divMain">Main</div>
<div id="divFooter"><p>All Rights Reserved. Blabla® 2015</p></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I tried to move the background image to the pageWrap div as someone suggested.
It solves the vertical scroll problem, but creates a similar problem horizontally: When the window is too narrow and you scroll left, the image is cut off on the right.
Any real solution?
Perhaps you could remove the height:100% from HTML, BODY and #page, and then set background-color on the body to #3E3E3E (in this example).
The difference is that the background image would not stretch all the way down, but it would remove the scrolling problems.
Height:100% only applies to 100% of the height of the browser window, not the height of the page within the browser window - that's why you;re getting the white area below when you scroll down.
I would suggest replacing your background image with a CSS gradient, this might seem difficult but there is a fantastic tool that does it all for you (they also show a browser support table below the tool!)
The output CSS for a gradient that you'd want looks like this:
background: rgb(0,0,0); /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,1) 0%, rgba(204,204,204,1) 96%, rgba(204,204,204,1) 100%); /* FF3.6-15 */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,1) 0%,rgba(204,204,204,1) 96%,rgba(204,204,204,1) 100%); /* Chrome10-25,Safari5.1-6 */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0,0,0,1) 0%,rgba(204,204,204,1) 96%,rgba(204,204,204,1) 100%); /* W3C, IE10+, FF16+, Chrome26+, Opera12+, Safari7+ */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#000000', endColorstr='#cccccc',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
Furthermore, you might want to remove height: 100% on the html and body for min-height: 100% since you'll want this gradient to stretch out over the length of this page.
The reasons you'd want to use a gradient over an image is just purely because it replaces a request to a ~100-300kb image with no request and only ~100-300b added to your CSS which I think is a good trade off against almost any criteria.
The tool also has support for importing an image, you can basically take your image, upload it and get a gradient out of it that comes closer to a perfect result than you could ever do by hand.

CSS body background causing errors with no repeat

This may be a stupid question but I am trying to set a static background image onto the body of my site but I don't want to repeat the image. I have this:
body{
background:url(../assessts/BG.png) center bottom no-repeat,#000;
background-size:100% auto;
}
Which doesn't show the image at all, however if I remove the no-repeat:
body{
background:url(../assessts/BG.png) center bottom,#000;
background-size:100% auto;
}
This shows the image fine. The image is quite large anyway and fills my 19 inch screen well without the no-repeat option. But as a fail safe for very large screens I would like the image not to repeat.
Where I am more confused is I have a div later on in the CSS that using a similar method:
.head{
position:absolute;
z-index:1;
top:0px;
background:url(../assessts/logo.png) center -60px no-repeat,#000;
background-size:300px auto;
width:100%;
height:200px;
display:block;
box-shadow:0px 4px 4px #000;
-moz-box-shadow:0px 4px 2px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow:0px 4px 2px #000;
}
But this works with no errors. If I'm not mistaking it is the same?
Have you tried rearranging the order of the properties, i.e. background: #000 url(../assessts/BG.png) no-repeat center bottom; See W3C notes on shorthand property order.

HTML CSS height 100% only goes as tall as the screen resolution, not the body height

I can't figure out how to make my seasonal overlay div the full height of the html. Right now its the height of the screen, but scrolling down cuts off part of the image. Does anyone know the right way to make the sesasonal overlay div extend the whole height of the html? The div is part of a server side include so I can't close the underlay div after my content. Also, half my closed online sales don't use javascript, so it needs to be an html/css solution please.
You can save time from reading below by just seeing my JSFIDDLE.
Thanks.
CSS:
html{
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#C5CEFF', endColorstr='#F8D0FD',GradientType=0 );
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#C5CEFF), to(#F8D0FD)) fixed;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #C5CEFF, #F8D0FD);
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
min-height:100%;
}
body{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
overflow-x: hidden;
min-height:100%;
display:block;
}
.background-overlay-season
{
position:absolute;
left:0px;
top:0px;
z-index:-1;
width:100%;
background-image:url(http://sonosmile.com/images/fall.png);
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
overflow-x: hidden;
min-height:100%;
display:block;
}
HTML:
<html>
<body>
<div class="background-overlay-season"></div>
a bunch of content....
</body>
</html>
Right, I think I've found it.
Firstly, I think the image should be set on the body, but you said that didn't work in IE, and you were right.
If we remove the filter from the html CSS and the body background-image appears, but obviously that's not too helpful as we've lost the gradient in IE. Ok. So, trying to find out why, I tested creating a new gradient from Colorzilla. When I put that in, it worked:
background: #c5ceff; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #c5ceff 0%, #f8d0fd 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#c5ceff), color-stop(100%,#f8d0fd)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #c5ceff 0%,#f8d0fd 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #c5ceff 0%,#f8d0fd 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #c5ceff 0%,#f8d0fd 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #c5ceff 0%,#f8d0fd 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#c5ceff', endColorstr='#f8d0fd',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
Great. But why? After some debugging, it turns out that unless you specify the first background (background: #c5ceff; /* Old browsers */), it won't work, the background on the body just won't show. And it's not just a background-image, it won't work for a solid color either. No idea why.
But there you go. Here's your new CSS, with your leaves background-image on the body, and working in IE.
html {
background: #c5ceff; /* Old browsers */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#C5CEFF), to(#F8D0FD)) fixed;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #C5CEFF, #F8D0FD);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#C5CEFF', endColorstr='#F8D0FD',GradientType=0 );
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
body{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
background:url(http://sonosmile.com/images/fall.png);
}

Note that I removed all your styling for the empty div. Using that div as your background won't work, because although you can make it 100% height, it will only be the height of the viewport. It has no content in it, so it has no idea that the page content is going longer that the viewport.
Hmmm, I think I may have an answer for you.
Remember that when using position:absolute, the element ends up being relative to the first ancestor element it encounters with position:relative. Should one not exist, the container will be considered the <html>. So why doesn't <html>, and hence .background-overlay-season go to the bottom of the document?
You have to consider what the min-height: 100% you specified on <html> is actually relative to; what exactly is it 100% of? The behaviour suggests that it is actually relative to the browser viewport's height, so the <html> (and any element using it as a reference for height) can be guaranteed as tall as the viewport. As a result, you'll actually want to make <body> the container, not <html>, with a simple addition to your CSS:
body{
position:relative;
}
Here's a JSFiddle showing what this achieves. Note that .background-overlay-season extends to the bottom of the document now. If this isn't what you were looking for, let me know and I'll be happy to (try) helping further! (This was a bit of a learning experience for me too, haha...)
If you want background-image on all your body, you can use this
body
{
background-image: url(http://sonosmile.com/images/fall.png);
background-size: contain;
}
Try this fiddle
Move the content of the div .background-overlay-season to body.
body {
background-image: url("http://sonosmile.com/images/fall.png");
display: block;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
min-height: 100%;
overflow-x: hidden;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
}

Create an arrow in css3

I know how to create arrows outside the div by using the psedo class but I need to create a arrow inside the div as shown below
How can I get this?
No need to use extra elements, this can be done entirely using CSS3:
background-color: gray;
background-image:
linear-gradient(135deg, transparent 75%, #000 75%), /*right side of triangle*/
linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 75%, #000 75%) /*left side of triangle*/;
background-position: 30px 0, 0 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 30px 30px;
Demo (with vendor-prefixes: http://jsfiddle.net/rLZkf/1/).
Explanation of a this triangle technique
As seen in the image below source, CSS supports linear colour gradients using a simple syntax.
With some imagination, you can see a triangle in the previous image. The colour blends at the diagonal though. So, we set explicit colour stop locations. When these locations are equal, there's no visual blending any more, and you get a solid triangle.
It's time to introduce a triangle:
background-image: linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 50%, black 50%);
The gradient starts at the bottom-left corner, and ends at the upper-right corner due to the angle of 45°. The colour stop location is defined to be 50%, so the bottom-left part of the triangle is transparent, and the other half is black. To get a different triangle, use an angle of 135°. Here's an image with both angles:
At this point, we know how to create a rectangular triangle. To get further, we need to be able to create a triangle where the hypotenuse is placed vertically or horizontally. To achieve this, we join two triangles. CSS3 introduces support for multiple backgrounds. This feature is used to construct the triangle.
/* Create triangles */
background-image:
linear-gradient(135deg, transparent 75%, #000 75%), /*right side of triangle*/
linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 75%, #000 75%) /*left side of triangle*/;
/* Move one of the triangles to the right */
background-position: 30px 0, 0 0;
/* Don't repeat the background image (remove this to see what would happen) */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
/* Define the size of the triangle */
background-size: 30px 30px;
In the previous CSS code, one can see that I'm using 75% as a colour stop location (instead of 50%). This choice does not matter, the final shape of the triangle is determined by the values of the gradient's colour stop location, background-position and background-size.
**Note: I left out the vendor prefixes in the explanation. To use this technique, you have to add the vendor-prefixes (as seen in the demo).
