Here is the page I am trying to apply this full screen image to:
http://www.alexwiley.co.uk/portfolio
I wish to make it so that the image displays 100% width and 100% height until you scroll down, then you can see the content below this as you scroll.
Here is an example site of what I am looking to do:
http://www.nilsfrahm.com/
You can see his image is fullscreen until he scrolls.
I am making this website in Adobe Muse CC just as added information.
You need to use background-attachment: fixed; with background-image and background-size: cover;
Large screen version: http://codepen.io/suez/full/wulBv/
* {
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
div {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
div.first {
background-image: url("http://i.imgur.com/PbV1Grl.jpg");
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
div.second {
background-image: url("http://i.imgur.com/VWYl1EC.jpg");
background-size: cover;
}
<div class="first"></div>
<div class="second"></div>
Try adding position: fixed to the div that has the background.

Right now my background image adapts to the screen size. The problem is, when the screen shrinks too much (e.g. mobile) the background image is no longer long enough to fill the div vertically.
So what I did was to assign a value to width instead of using 100%:
#content {
width: 2000px;
}
The problem is, the div is no longer responsive, since it has a fixed width.
How to solve this dilemma?
Here's the relevant code:
HTML:
<div id="content">
<div class="container clearfix">
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.container {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
}
#content {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) repeat 0 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
-webkit-background-size: 100%;
-moz-background-size: 100%;
-o-background-size: 100%;
background-size: 100%;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: 50% 0;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 750px;
}
#content .container {
height: 750px;
}
And the live site: http://www.m2comm-semi.com/
These two rules
background-size: cover;
background-position: center; /* bottom, top, etc */
should make your background image work properly on every resolution as long as it is big enough to cover f.e. 1900x1200, just give it a shot and let me know if the result is satisfying, bro.
I have made a page that starts with a full (100% by 100%) image div.
This div will always fill up the page before scrolling.
Then I have another div with an image.
On desktop there is no problem.
However, on mobile when this page is loaded and I swipe my finger to give it a little scroll, then when the phone finished scrolling, it snaps / auto scrolls back a bit. It also appears to zoom-in a little.
I think it's due to the 100% on HTML and BODY tag, because if I remove that, then there is no scrolling correction.
I have tried this on several Android phones and always the same. How do I fix this? Here's the code.
<style>
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
div {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
div.first {
background-image: url("http://i.imgur.com/VWYl1EC.jpg");
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
div.second {
background-image: url("http://i.imgur.com/PbV1Grl.jpg");
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
<div class="first"></div>
<div class="second"></div>
Problem is when the first div on a page has a height in %, this auto correction scroll will happen on Android phones.
The solution is to set the height in PX instead by using jQuery.
For example:
$('.firstdiv').css('height', $(window).height() + 'px');
use your css like following:-
<style>
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
div.first {
max-width:100%;
background-image: url("http://i.imgur.com/VWYl1EC.jpg");
background-size: cover;
height:300px; /* as you needed */
}
div.second {
max-width:100%;
background-image: url("http://i.imgur.com/PbV1Grl.jpg");
background-size: cover;
height:300px; /* as you needed */
}
I'm trying to figure out the best method for making a background image fully responsive - so far the best way I can figure out is to use background-size: cover, as most people tend to suggest, but with background-attachment: fixed so that the image scales down it's proportions as the screen resizes, otherwise it just retains it's original proportions and doesn't scale at all. Using just background-size: cover stretches the image to fill the container div, but won't automatically scale proportions..
However I don't want the effect of fixed background that hides part of the image as you scroll down and would prefer it to be background-attachment: scroll, but I can't get that to work and make it scale as well.
So my question is: is there any way I'm not aware of to have the background images scale automatically with screen size without having to use background-attachment: fixed to achieve it?
Please see my JSFiddle for what I've got at the moment: https://jsfiddle.net/uhoL5d5w/2/
(and yes I'm also aware I will be needing to use media-queries at some point to serve optimized images to the various screen sizes)
My current code looks like:
<header>
<div class="launch-bg">
<nav class="menu">
</nav>
</div>
</header>
<div class="page-wrapper">
</div>
<div class="push"></div>
<!-- Footer -->
<div class="footer"></div>
html,
body {
#include box-sizing(border-box);
height: 100%;
}
div,
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
display: block;
background-color: #000000;
}
.page-wrapper {
margin: 0 auto -900;
min-height: 100%;
height: auto;
}
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
header {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 1200px;
}
.launch-bg {
height: 1200px;
background-image: url('http://s8.postimg.org/56xlj2rc5/launch_bg.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center center;
background-size: cover;
}
.footer {
height: 900px;
padding: 6% 0;
color: $white;
background-image: url('http://s8.postimg.org/onib5lmg5/footer_bg.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center center;
background-size: cover;
}
Here's a simple example, I think, of what you're asking for, just trimmed it all down for clarity:
header {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 1200px;
background-image: url('http://s8.postimg.org/56xlj2rc5/launch_bg.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: center center;
background-size: cover;
}
I've found a similar question here but with no answer, yet I can't find an alternative as a solution.
I have the following code and it works perfectly on Mac and Windows, however I can't figure out why on Android (either Chrome or Firefox) the background does not get updated when the user is scrolling down, it produces the space of about 1/5 of the screen at the bottom while scrolling down.
The background image gets updated after you release the touch.
html{
background-image:url(example.jpg);
background-position:fixed;
background-size:100% 100%;
}
Specify a height for your html and body, i.e.
html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
And
body {
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
And add a div that will wrap everything inside body, i.e.
<body>
<div id="wrapmeup">
....your content....
</div>
</body>
And finally add this to your css:
#wrapmeup {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-image: url(image/background.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
I'm trying to do a background image of 100% and have an image as the background. When I upload the image it goes to 100% but it cuts off have the picture. It makes the image wider than my screen. How do I fix it where the picture width is 100% but the image width fits the screen without getting cut off. Here is my tumblr to let you see what I mean (http://ophelialogy.tumblr.com/) and here is the full image to show you the full image and give you an idea for where it's cutting off (http://imageshack.us/a/img7/7103/khb3.png).
Here is my code:

this excellent blog post explains exactly what you need, without any third party tools:

also, there are some jQuery plugins for that, including:

What cover does (in my mind) is take the background image and do it's best to use the most of it that it can depending on the height or width of the box it is in. There are 2 ways to deal with this. One way is to make the box the perfect ratio for the image. The other is to actually use an img that will stretch the box to it's exact size. Here is how to do each. The plus of the background-image version, is that you can easily only serve a small version to small screens with an #media rule.
HTML
<header class="container global-header"></header>
<header class="container global-header2">
<img alt="banner-thing" src="http://placekitten.com/400/100" />
</header>
CSS
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.container {
width: 100%;
float: left;
}
.global-header {
width: 100%;
/* this is hacky - but it is your answer */
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 25%;
background-image: url("http://placekitten.com/400/100");
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
/* you should have this too */
background-position: center center;
}
.global-header2 {
width: 100%;
/* height will be determined by image size */
}
.global-header2 img {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
FIDDLE
use:
background-image: url(../images/myimage.jpg);
background-size: cover;
Do you want the background image in the header or on the main page?
It is currently in the header.
Set the background image on the html tag if you want it to cover the whole page.
Nasser's link to do that is a good one (I would leave out the browser specific hacks though).
EDIT
AHH You're talking about width.
I think it might be something to do with the irritating slider tumblr have coming in from the right - it is about that much too stretched.
I suggest trying these styles on jsfiddler - or another separate site - you'll probably find it works fine.
