I've checked everywhere that I can think of, no luck. I have a page I'm trying to make responsive. Pretty much one div on top of the other with a css background image inside. When I change the browser window size the image seems to scale pretty well but the div height doesn't so you can see the background of the div. I need the div height to change in proportion to the image size. I'm trying to use CSS only without javascript since I'm brand new to web design. Any help would be great.
Here is the code I've got.
The HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<title>The Home Page</title>
<meta name="description" content="The best toy out there">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>
<body>
<!--<h1> Body Text</h1>-->
<div id ="top_pic">
<hgroup> </hgroup>
<h1> top_pic; SOME TEXT WILL GO HERE</h1>
<!-- A logo image will also be placed on top of background image in this div probably in the hgroup -->
</div>
<div id = "middle_pose">
<h1 class = "midposetext"> MIDDLE pose div, some text goes hereAAA</h1>
</div>
<div id = "content">
<h1> Content div...some text goes here</h1>
</div>
<div class = "footer">
<h1> Footer div</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The CSS:
body {
background-color : #e8e821;
width: 85%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
border: dotted black;
position: relative;
padding: 1%;
}
#top_pic {
background-image: url('images/eyeforheader1.jpg');
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: solid #3fa85f;
margin: 0 0 20% 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: block;
}
#middle_pose {
/*background-image: url('images/girl on back grasping sheets brunette.png');*/
background-image: url('images/Screen Shot 2014-02-10 at 11.47.48 PM.png');
background-size: 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #7547dd;
width: 100%;
height: 450px;
border: solid #f05858;
margin: auto;
}
#content {
background-image: url('images/Screen Shot 2014-05-28 at 5.52.03 PM.png');
background-size: 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
border: solid orange;
}
.midposetext { color: #de4b8f;
}
#middle_pose h1{
color: yellow;
z-index: 10;
font-size; 1.4em;
}
In your CSS file, you can change the #middle_pose background-size property:
from:
background-size:100%;
to:
background-size:cover;
This will scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the container's background is covered. However, this may force portions of the image to be out of the viewable area (at certain dimensions). In this case, you may find that you want to use media-queries to adjust the container's dimensions and/or swap the image for one with more appropriate dimensions/aspect-ratio.
Hope this helps :)

I've been trying to create a landing page for my website. I'm stuck in putting the background since it doesn't cover the whole page even if I set the width to 100%.
It looks like this, even if it's not zoomed out or in.
Notice the huge white part on the right side
So far, this is the only code that I have
CSS
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
}
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
background: linear-
gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0.7),rgba(0,0,0,0.7)),url(../../assets/images/background.png);
background-position: center;
background-size: cover;
}

<div class="container">

</html>
width: 100%;
height: 23vw;
background: url('srcimgs/topsvg.svg') no-repeat;
this may help you adjust the height
Try this solution that i have used for my Homepage
.heroImage{
background-image: url('./assets/wallpaper.jpg');
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
use these CSS properties in your background img tag. I hope this helps.
I got an background-image of a big white square, and now I'm trying to keep a div positioned in the corner of that square, but when I resize the page, that div don't follow that corner. I suppose that occur because of the background-size: cover;, since that condition keep zooming in/out when resized.
I also would like to keep that square in the proportion of the white square.
background-image and div in normal size:
resized background-image and div:
I'm already using position absolute and relative.
I've been trying to use only flexible values (vh/vw, %)

One problem is that the image you are using as the background is not only a "black square" since it has white paddings.
If you want everything to align in the box, you either need to:
calculate how much the image has paddings before the box (which I don't recommend doing).
crop the image a bit, removing the white padding.
Here are the calculations after getting rid of the white paddings, and leaving just the borders. You can mess around with the width, height, left, and top for more desired results.
.bg {
background-image: url("bg.jpg");
height: 50vh;
width: 50vh;
position: relative;
margin: 25vh 25vw;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
background-attachment: initial;
background-size: cover;
}
/* Calculating the "borders" of the image out of the width and height, in this case 1.7% * 2 */
.el {
width: calc(100% - 3.4%);
height: calc(100% - 3.4%);
position: absolute;
left: 1.7%;
top: 1.7%;
background: orange;
}
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
My image has a little bit of white at the bottom, since I cropped the picture a bit badly. Your element width& height ratio should always be 1:1, if you want the .el to work.
Also, if the purpose is just to make a box with black borders, you might want to do it with just HTML and CSS, since it's definitely more complex using background images =)
No matter what I do, I cannot get my image in the .container div to show up properly when formatting with CSS. Only the top ~10% of the image is showing. If I put the img tag in HTML it will work perfectly. But I want to format in CSS, not HTML, and in such away that it is mobile-first compatible. What I want is for the image to be centered and larger than it's currently displaying. Here is my HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="RABstyle.css">
<title>Home</title>
<meta charset = "UTF-8">
<meta name="author" content="Beth Bennett">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<body>
<header>
<div class="icons"><p>Icons</p></div>
<ul class = "buttons">
<button id="LogIn" type="button">Log In</button>
<button id="SignUp" type="button">Sign Up</button>
</ul>
</header>
<div class="container">
<h2 class="intro">America's source for....</h2>
<ul class="selector">
<li class="active">Ds</li>
<li>Cs</li>
<li>Or</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And here is my CSS:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0px;
padding:0px;
font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
body {
background-color:#ffffE0;
}
header {
background-color: #AA0000;
height: 75px;
padding: 15px;
}
.icons{
float: left;
margin-left: 100px;
}
.buttons {
text-align: right;
margin-right: 300px;
}
.container {
background: url("HomePageImageFinal.svg") no-repeat;
background-position: center top;
background-size: 1500px 1000px;
}
Add px - it doesn't have any measurement unit now - or 100% to your width and height attributes (depending on your needs)
I added a background-size:cover to your code and it worked, with another image, because you didn't provide the SVG:
.container {
background: url("http://lorempixel.com/200/200/") no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
background-position: center top;
height: 2000px;
width: 2000px;
}
Here's the fiddle
You can try
background-size: 100% 100%; or
background-size: contain; or
background-size: cover;
depending on what you are trying to achieve.
Also, if you have floats inside your container than you need to clear these. The container won't have any height with floating elements inside. Unless you specify a fixed height of course.
I want to make a page,which by scroll down ,the content div ,cover the back ground image.so I put a background image for body and create 2 divs, it works in big window size, but when I change the size of window, and make it smaller (to test the responsive), there is a white gap between image and content div.
Would you please help me to remove it?

You need to make the body and the html go to the bottom of the page:
body, html {
min-height: 100%;
}
and then set the background to background-size: cover;: https://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/
You could do something like this:
<div id="yourdiv"></div>
#yourdiv {
width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center top; position: fixed; z-index: -1;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Hope it helps!
Sounds like it's probably due to your background image not filling the full space available.
Try adding this to the body (the element with the BG image);
background-size:cover;
Note that this will not work well on old browsers
Quite new to CSS3 and I have a issue with the DIV not changing height as the background-image get's larger (height). The DIV should expand as the background image is expanding. After this DIV there will be a footer with fixed height.
The web page:
http://www.cre.fi/kalustekeskus/
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#full-screen-background-image {
background-image: url(../img/kalustekeskus_bg.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
min-width: 1024px;
width: 100%;
min-height: 90%;
position: fixed;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid red;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Kalustekeskus</title>
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="full-screen-background-image"></div>
</body>
</html>
Is there any smart way of doing this?
Thanks!
In the website you have used min-weight:600px; change this to min-height:90%.
You can specify the min-height in percentage then the div will expand with respect to the actions you do in the image.
