I've been working on page for my client and I want to have background image on body (in fiddle there is black color instead of image) and content wrapper with width of 1200px (or so) and height of 100% of the page with white color background.
The problem is, that even though I have all parental elements set to have height 100%, the background is not 100% height. It's acting weird and I've tried to rewrite for 4th time without success. I don't know what is wrong. Could you please give me a hint, tip or solution. Thanks!
html, body {
background: url('./images/background.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 14px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.container {
width: 1200px;
margin: 0 auto;
height: 100%;
min-width: 1200px;
background-color: white;
background-size: cover;
}
.leftcol {
width: 350px;
height: 100%;
float: left;
}
.rightcol {
width: 850px;
height: 100%;
float: right;
}
.footer {
width: 1200px;
height: 50px;
float: left;
text-align: center;
}
Also I have noticed that footer is acting wierd to, it's in the middle of the page in 'rightcol' element.
Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/cramb5fg/1/
See if this JSFiddle gets you closer. It has a full screen background too.
It fixes a few errors like:
Clearing your floated column divs by adding a "Clearfix" to the container that now holds only the 2 column divs.
A wrapper that displays at 100% height and width was added to contain the header, main content, and footer. It also has the main background applied.
The float was removed from the footer, and now the footer is absolutely positioned at the bottom, in relation to the main wrapper.
The empty <div class="header"></div> was removed.
HTML Structure in the JSFiddle Example (based on your wireframe)
<div id="main-wrapper">
<div class="navigation">
<nav>
<h1><i class="fa fa-car">Title</i></h1>
</nav>
</div>
<div class="container clearfix">
<div class="leftcol">
<div class="sidebar">
<div class="sidebar-head">Title</div>
<div class="sidebar-body"><p>...</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="rightcol"><p>...</p></div>
</div> <!-- end container clearfix -->
<div class="footer">Copyright © 2014</div>
</div> <!-- end main-wrapper -->
Give this wireframe a good test because some details may have been overlooked, also test by enlarging and reducing the browser area, and holding down CTRL+ or - to to enlarge and shrink the screen.
I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do but your example code is different than your fiddle. You should be able to make your background 100% easily.
html {
background: url(http://placehold.it/400) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
See fiddle here

edit: I've updated your fiddle with what I think you are trying to do
CSS heigh will if you define position absolute/fixed. such:
.class_name{
position:absolute;
height:100%;
top:0;
left:0;
}
One more important matter: top and left also compulsory.

I want to include background image which is oversized (4000px x 3000px) in the div,
in such a way that width will take max width of the screen and height will adjust to it.
I don't know why but it doesn't work if the height is not specified (like 1000px).
The image doesn't appear at all.
I wanted to make jsfiddle but there it works (probably because height is somehow specified automatically)
The part of code (HTML):
<section id="panels">
<h1>PANELS</h1>
<div class="section-img">
<!-- here i want the image -->
</div>
</section>
The part of code (CSS):
.section-img {
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-image: url("path/to/my/image");
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
And with this code nothing appears (as it looks the height is 0px), how can i do the thing that height will adjust to size of width i.e. scales itself.
In your example, the div is inheriting the width of the parent section tag, taking into account any margin or padding on the body element. It has display: block so width is 100% , height is auto so it's the size of whatever inside. So in your case there's nothing inside the div tag, which means it's height: auto; value is 0.
.section-img {
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-image: url("https://hatrabbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/random.jpg");
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
height: 100px; // auto means 0 if there's nothing in your div element
display: block; // this is a default for every div tag
}
<section id="panels">
<h1>PANELS</h1>
<div class="section-img">
<!-- here i want the image -->
</div>
</section>
Just try this replace the auto with 100% in height and check.
.section-img {
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-image: url(https://hatrabbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/random.jpg);
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: block;
position:absolute;
top:20%;
bottom:0;
right:0;
left:0;
}
<section id="panels">
<h1>PANELS</h1>
<div class="section-img">
<!-- here i want the image -->
</div>
</section>
Are you like this .
I'm trying to add a banner image and adjust its size from the CSS. The IMAGE and the CSS are in the same folder, next to each another.
HTML
<body>
<header>
<div class="banner"></div>
CSS
div.banner {
background: url("games_header.jpg") no-repeat fixed center;
background-size: contain;
display: block;
margin: auto;
max-width: 100%;
height: 25%;
}
You have no content in that element, therefore its height is 0 => no visible background. Just add some content and the background will appear.
The height setting has no effect if the parent element doesn't have a set height. If you want the banner to be 25% of the window height, add this rule:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
I put it all in the html file I created and this works for my image that's in the same directory. You don't need to call it as div.banner, adding the class to the div is enough to just call it by what you name it.
<head>
<style>
.banner{
height: 100%;
background-image: url('./butterbot.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<div class="banner"></div>
</header>
</body>
background is an inline attribute and would work with root elements such as html or body attributes if you set the background styling to <body>(just an example). Though it is not advised to use it on the html and body but a fixed position div with 100% width and height as shown below
.banner {
background: url("https://picsum.photos/200") no-repeat fixed center;
position: fixed;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
<div class="banner"></div>
I'm trying to get the background image of my homepage (www.insaka.org), to cover the entire width of the screen, but I can't seem to figure it out. I don't want the entire website to stretch, just the image. Any ideas?
HTML
<header class="business-header">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 top-buffer">
<h1 class="tagline">Insaka</h1>
<h4 class="tagline">Increasing access to education for rural Zambian girls</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.business-header {
background: url("/images/Insaka poster girls.JPG") center center no-repeat scroll;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
main {
#extend .container;
margin-top: 30px; // accommodate the navbar
}
section {
#extend .row;
margin-top: 20px;
}
Well, Lots of things is wrong with the html structure. You need a good front-end developer to get the things fixed.
The simplest solution i can provide is to apply the following styles to the main tag
main {
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
padding: 0;
}
See your main tag has max-width
main {
max-width: 100%;
padding: 0;
}
Use height:100vh and width:100vw to set container to fit in
screen.
vh = visual-height
vw = visual-width
In your case use 100vw to fit element to current screen
I want to position a background image on the background of my page.
I have a page that is finished. Now I need to place an image on the background of the page that is positioned on the center and will span the entire width of the browser.
Yeah I know confusing. I didn't understand either when I read it. So I added a
Fiddle here
I want to add a background image to the wrapper and center it on the two div's while it's possible to be bigger then the screen.
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="container">
<div class="left">
Left content
</div><div class="right">
right content
</div>
</div>
</div>
Hope now it makes sense.
You need to remove the background from the .container to show the background image on the .wrapper. And use three background position to adjust it:
background-image: url() - To include the image.
background-size: cover - To cover whole background size.
background-image: center - To make it at the center of the div.
Have a look at the below snippet:
.wrapper{
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
max-width: 100%;
text-align: left;
background-image: url(http://placehold.it/200x200);
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
.container{
position: relative;
max-width: 1280px;
height: 260px;
/* background: #ffffff; */
margin: 0 auto;
}
.left{
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
width:50%;
border:1px solid #000;
}
.right{
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
width:49%;
border:1px solid #000;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="container">
<div class="left">Left Content</div><div class="right">Right Content</div>
</div>
</div>
Hope this helps!
You can find a solution here - you need to get rid of white background on .container as it will cover the background of the .wrapper . Then, you can set background-size: cover; for .wrapper so it will cover whole area of that div. I have used some random background.
.wrapper{
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
max-width: 100%;
text-align: left;
background: url("http://media.istockphoto.com/photos/abstract-cubes-retro-styled-colorful-background-picture-id508795172?k=6&m=508795172&s=170667a&w=0&h=uxKISA4xMNkrBCcEFhdN5mm-ZDv8LFzWUhMMmG3CNuQ=");
background-size: cover;
}
I wasn't quite sure what you meant, but I updated your fiddle. https://jsfiddle.net/0ao6r0en/3/
I think you meant that you want white behind the boxes, center that white box, and have an image on the wrapper?
Thats what I did for you so you can see, check it out!

I'm trying to make a background image on the header section autosize but it won't keep to aspect ratios. Here is an example, the image gets the bottom of it cut off: http://i.imgur.com/sxedPHI.png or if I make it this size, space appears between it and the divs below header: http://i.imgur.com/xX1e4GZ.png I can almost seem to get it working but then it scales the picture to an odd aspect ratio and the image gets distorted: http://i.imgur.com/jtxDNr0.png
I would like the header section to be the EXACT same size as the image, then have the image always showing all of the image (not cutting off a portion) and no space between header and the next divs.
This is the code I have for the HTML part:
<header>
T
</header>
I believe this is the relevant CSS:
header {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
background-image: url("ball.png");
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% auto;
}
The site in question is here:
http://www.stoppiefail.com/boot/sites3/index.php
You are using background-size: 100% auto; at the end which will be overwriting your previous code.
https://jsfiddle.net/26ejdss6/1/
div{
width:400px;
height:187px;
background:url('http://ajgdirect.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/football.jpg');
background-size:cover;
background-position:center;
}
Also, check out a neat plugin named backstretch.js. It's pretty nice for this kind of thing, especially when auto-sizing user added images in a CMS
http://srobbin.com/jquery-plugins/backstretch/
Instead of using Background Image why not use an IMG tag with an absolute div on top of it.
HTML:
<header>
<img src="your/background/image.jpg" class="bg">
<div class="headerContent">Your Header Content Goes Here</div>
</header>
CSS:
header {
width: 100%;
position: relative;
}
header img.bg {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
}
header .headerContent {
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: 100;
}
I havn't tested this but it is just another way to do this outside of css, that would allow the height of the header never to be cut off.
