I am fairly new to html/css and I am coding a website for my mom. (Live example here: http://jleblanc.pancakeapps.com/index.html) and for the life of me I can't make the photos any smaller. Do you guys have any ideas?
If images are set in following format:
<div id="PlaceHolder"><img src="source.jpg"/></div>
You can add rule in CSS:
#PlaceHolder img{
width: 400px;
}
If you set height or width - it will automatically resize image maintaining it's aspect ratio.
Assuming you're talking about the oversize background images in your colored tabs, the problem is that you have background-size: contain set which is scaling the image to the container size. Choose another background size (background-size: (x)% (y)% maybe?
(You'll get better answers if you reduce your question down to the specifics of what you're trying to do and give example code of what's not working, rather than just linking to a website and asking what's wrong with it)
You can set image as responsive by making them size to 100% so they can fit any size.thanks

so i have this simple problem with Bootstrap but i have not found a solution to it and it goes like this: i want to have a carousel in my web page and i took the code from Bootstrap's official web page and i want to display 1200 x 400 images but if an image i want to display is not that size, it could be smaller or it could be bigger, what should i do to make that image fit on the space if it's not the size i want... i have tried with html specifying a width and a height but it doesn't work. Maybe this question is a little bit silly but i have not found a way and also i have tried to change the size of the image but it was unsuccesfull.
Thanks for the answers!
It is often recommended for slider to keep all your images same dimension. But if there is no way left to do so, you can make CSS adjustments.
For an example:
You can give same dimensions (height and width) in CSS for all those images. and use object-fit: cover; so that image does not squeeze.
I have the following:
<div style="container;background-image:url('/images/football.jpg');background-size:100% 100%;">
I would like to manually adjust the width and height of the image. I currently have it covering the full width of the div, but not the full height. Is there a way to manually adjust the size in percentage form while maintaining no-repeat of image.
As mentioned
"background-size:"
Is what you are after however I thought I'd just add a little bit of helpful advice and point you towards W3schools.
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
I only recently got through web development at Uni and W3schools was the single most useful source of information I had access to (don't tell my lecturer that). If you get in the habit of looking there first it'll help you out a bunch.
Also might be worth learning how to use external style sheets and linking them into your HTML.
Hope this helps !
background-size: 100%;
will adjust the image proportionally to 100% width of the background area.
If your image size is less then background area then use
background-size:cover;
to stretch it so that the background area is completely covered by the background image.
If your image size is greator then background area then use
background-size:contain;
to shrink it so that the background image is completely fit in the background area.
I admit in the beginning that I am new to UI development and started learning recently. I am developing a website which i similar to InuitLabs.com. When I looked at the source code using view source I am totally lost. Particularly I am interested in knowing
How the slider image on the homepage is responsive? Is it through javascript or using pure css.
Also I want to know the text moves upwards on scrolling leaving behind the background image intact? How to achieve the same effect.
I know this might be the basic question but I found it hard to know through the source code as there are many javascript and css files.

Take a look at the background-size property.
you can set background-size to any px or % value or use constants:
cover will adjust the image size to fill the entire container while contain try to fit the image inside the container without cropping it, most likely leaving some parts of the container without any background.
What you probably want is to set your background-size property to cover.
you just set the image to the percent you want in % through css for example:
.slider img {
width:100%;
}
edit: also you need to specify the height as auto, if you do not want to lose the image ratio. if you set width and height at 100% the image ratio will be messed up.
if you want to set responsive height also for longer device then use width:100%; and height:100%; other wise you can use height:auto; make div and keep it background-size property for it.
What is the best way to get a smaller version of an image I want to use onto a webpage, but still allow the person to view the full image if they click "view image"? This question could really be broken down into two parts:
Say my image is 900x900px: Is there a way I can display that image at a much smaller size, like 100x100px (so that the browser does not have to load the entire 900px image) but allow the person to see full size image if they click "view image"?
Additionally, what is the best way to take the 900px image, and display it at only 100px? Assuming I can't do this ahead of time with photo editing software, should I use the height and width tags in HTML or in CSS? (It seems like they both resize the image (scale) rather than crop). Thanks
With the usual approach to use the heightand width attributes, the whole image still has to be transferred to the browser.
So if you add a link somewhere (the image itself could be the link), the user is still able to access the complete (900 x 900 px) image.
Regarding image cropping: There is some trickery you can use as outlined in this SO answer.
JsFiddle Demo 1 (the image itself is used as a link to the original full-sized image)
JsFiddle Demo 2 (using the first demo as a base, but this time cropped the image)
Easiest way is to use it as a background to a div and then use the background-sizeattribute. An example would be what I did with my website.
<div id="image"
style="background-image:url(images/Greensburg-Commons-Oblique2.jpg);
background-position:20% 20%;
background-size:600px 800px;">
</div>
Using this method, I was able to take a 3200x2400 photo and scale it down to 800x600 photo. Plus, In my opinion, it's a lot easier to style a div with a background photo than just a plain image and I feel it just does more. Just so you know, background-position changes what part of the scaled in photo you show :)
<div id="image"
style="background-image:url(images/Greensburg-Commons-Oblique2.jpg);
background-size:100% 100%;">
</div>
Also, you could change the background size to 100% by 100% and that way the background will display the full image all the time and will automatically scale down as your window size changes or screen size :). Best for fluid layouts.
well you can set the image as a background of a div and then set the background-size property
#yourDiv{
width:100 px;
height:100 px;
background:url('path/to/your/image');
background-size: 100px 100px;
}
you could set different properties for :hover but you'd need to use javascript to change the properties onclick
You can use a lightbox or with just CSS, but it will resize the page. Now this is a very simple example so don't expect a beautiful display.
HTML
<img src="img.png" class="resize">
CSS
.resize {
width:100px;
height:100px;
}
.resize:hover {
height:900px;
width:900px;
}
Now personally I would use a javascript or just a lightbox. It will look much better right out of the box with minimal adjustments. Just my 2 cents.
I'm working on a website with a em-based layout (so it can stretch and compress gracefully when users increase or decrease font size). This site has a header that should be displayed across all pages. I have a "header" div in all pages, and the site-wide css file includes the code:
#header
{
width: 50em;
height: 6em;
margin-bottom: .5em;
background: url("/IMAGES/header.png");
}
The problem is that this doesn't really stretch gracefully. When text size increase, the height and width change, but **the image doesn't increase in size; it simply repeats*.*
How can I make my image stretch and squish, instead of repeating or getting cut off? (I'd like a css-based solution if possible... I've got some html ideas in store, already).
There is no way to use css to strech a background image. You would have to use javascript or something similar. However, if you have an image that doesn't need to be repeated (e.g. blends into the background), you could do something like this:
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
Addendum: The position has the following format: <top|center|bottom|xpos> <left|center|right|ypos>
where xpos and ypos can be given in the regular fashion (em, px, %, etc...).
The only way I've ever found is:
Set background of #header to bgcolor of header image.
Place new div inside #header
Split header image into 2
Set left half of new image as #header background aligned-left
Set right half of new image as #header.div background aligned-right
Of course that's only going to work with appropriate images though.
I'm pretty sure you can't change the scaling of background images. If your header.png file was included as an img tag, then you could set its height and width to be a number of ems and the browser would resize it (usually making it look like crap though).
Remember as well that pretty much all the modern browsers do page zooming these days, which will scale everything up without changing your layout too much. Perhaps tell your users to use that feature?
#Pianosaurus, I think your idea may be the simplest, although limited. Simply, don't stretch the image, but make sure it looks good when it's not stretched (center it, and don't let it repeat). Also, if you use a fair amount of padding at the edges of your header image, sizing the page down wouldn't cause such big problems, either.
