Make body have 100% of the browser height
(24 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I want to expand the hero image for 100% of the browser HEIGHT.
This is what I have:
.home-splash {
position: relative;
display: table;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: url("http://www.matthewkosloski.me/hero-3a.jpg") center center;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-ms-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
With this code, the hero image (or splash image) only expands to the height of the header. However, this problem can be avoided (somewhat) by using width: 100vh;. I don't like that because on mobile devices, the height of the hero image is really large... like 5000px in height. I just want it to expand the EXACT height of the browser.
Here is the jsFiddle :: http://jsfiddle.net/E7rDG/
You need to set the height of the html/body elements to 100%.
Updated Example
html, body {
height:100%;
}

I had to set 4 pages with 100% width and height background depending of the screen size.
The imgs have got the same width and height and these are my settings,
.fullImg{
width: 100%;
height: auto;
max-height: 100vh;
max-width: 100vw;
}
this is working perfectly for few pictures but not with others, how is that possible if the pictures got the same dimensions?
I tried to do background-size: cover which is working for a while but then it will cut off the img so the best way so far is that one i wrote above.
I am talking about big screen sizes from 1440px to 2560px.
Thanks a lot
You can have a look at the headers here: http://provaresponsive.herokuapp.com/pr.html
As mentioned in the comments if you want an image to always use all available height and width, then you have to decide: Do you want the image to retain it's aspect ratio - then it has to be cropped, or do you want the image to change aspect ratio, in which case it will stretch.
Here is an example for each option:
No Stretching - Will Crop
html {
background: url(http://www.olejarz.com/arted/perspective/images/intro.gif) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
jsfiddle
Stretching - No Cropping
div {
background-image:url(http://www.olejarz.com/arted/perspective/images/intro.gif);
/*
* Width & Height can be percetages only when the parent
* element has explicitly declared dimensions.
*/
height:200px;
width:500px;
-moz-background-size:100% 100%;
-webkit-background-size:100% 100%;
background-size:100% 100%;
}
jsfiddle
And there is a third option, you probably won't like, which is to contain the image, so:
No Stretching, No Cropping - not filling the x/y
html {
background: url(http://www.olejarz.com/arted/perspective/images/intro.gif) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: contain;
-moz-background-size: contain;
-o-background-size: contain;
background-size: contain;
}
jsfiddle
use backstretch js .it can fix your issue.if you call your background image using backstretch js then it will automatically adjust your image according to your screen ,whatever your image resolution is
I am creating a website, however I would like the website to have a full screen div (Like this: http://peet.io)
However I do not know what is wrong with my code, I have tried googling several times, but still no help.
This is my code:
http://jsfiddle.net/6p3dk2yo/
.introduction {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background: url('../images/header.jpg') no-repeat center center;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
background-position: absolute;
}
That is my introduction css code.
However it only show's my test div and not my introduction div which is what I need the most, is not showing, the 'test' div is making it hidden.
If anyone knows how i can fix this then please say:)
That is because setting height: 100% simply means "stretch to the height of element's content". And since it is an empty <div> element, a height of 100% simply computes to 0px.
What you can do though, is to use vw or vh units when it comes to dimensions (see browser compatibility and support) that have to be calculated relative to the viewport size:
.introduction {
height:100vh;
width: 100%;
background: url('../images/header.jpg') no-repeat center center;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
position: relative;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/teddyrised/6p3dk2yo/3/
Even better, is that you can also use max-height or min-height to control how big the element should be when it comes to smaller, mobile viewports through the #media conditional statement.
Your introduction div has a height: 100%; but it's 100% of nothing.
If you put some content in your div, like in this JS Fiddle then you'll be able to see the background image.
If you don't want any content in the div, then you should change height to a fixed pixel amount, like height: 500px;.
Your div technically has no content, so it is in fact 100% of 0px (content size). If you want to stick with the percentages and keep things responsive as you are, why not throw an actual image in that div containter? Check out this Jfiddle. -> http://jsfiddle.net/6p3dk2yo/
<body>
<section class="introduction"></section>
<section class="test"><img src='../images/header.jpg' alt='header' /></section>
<script src="javascript/smoothscroll.js"></script>
</body>
I have an image called myImage.jpg. This is my CSS:
body {
background-image:url("../images/myImage.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
For some reason, when I do this, the width of myImage stretches across the entire screen but the height only stretches until the height of everything else on the page. So if I put a bunch of
<br>
in my html page, then the height will increase. If my HTML page consists only of a
<div id='header'>
<br>
</div>
then the height of the background image would just be the height of one
<br>
How do I make the height of my background image 100% of the screen which the user is using to view the webpage?
You need to set the height of html to 100%
body {
background-image:url("../images/myImage.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
html {
height: 100%
}
http://jsfiddle.net/8XUjP/
I would recommend background-size: cover; if you don't want your background to lose its proportions: JS Fiddle
html {
background: url(image/path) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Source: http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/
The VH unit can be used to fill the background of the viewport, aka the browser window.
(height:100vh;)
html{
height:100%;
}
.body {
background: url(image.jpg) no-repeat center top;
background-size: cover;
height:100vh;
}
html, body {
min-height: 100%;
}
Will do the trick.
By default, even html and body are only as big as the content they hold, but never more than the width/height of the windows. This can often lead to quite strange results.

There are some great ways do achieve a very good and scalable full background image.
I'm not a seasoned web developer and am quickly hacking up something for fun. I have a web page that has an 1024 x 768 background image (I know that's probably a bad idea) that I can correctly centre if the browser width increases. However, when the browser width decreases below 768px, I want the image to be "centered" along with the width rather than just tacking the top left corner so that the centre of the image is always in line with the other elements on the page.
What kind of CSS magic can pull this off?
Here's my CSS:
body
{
background: #000000; /*Black bg for extra space not covered by img*/
font-family: sans-serif;
margin: 0px;
}
.wrap
{
background: url(../images/background.jpg) no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
margin: auto;
/*Stretch body all the way to edges*/
/*width: 1024px; /*Min width for site*/
}
Thanks.

Take a look at this website
The CSS shown here in the "Awesome, Easy, Progressive CSS3 Way" is almost as the code you have. what you need to change to center the image horizontal and vertical is adding "center center" to the background settings:
.wrap{
background: url(../images/background.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
margin: auto;
}
Have you tried :
background-size: 100% 100%;
along with all your other css. This will ensure that the background image that you are using will stretch to fit the screen size(height and width-wise)
I'm brand new to this site so apologies if I'm stepping on toes but I've been trying to create a page where you are met by a fullscreen header, with a height and width of 100% of the viewport, however you are still able to scroll to the content below.
Perfect example of this is http://www.bklynsoap.com/
I have tried to achieve this with purely CSS by creating a 100% height and width on an absolute positioned Div, but this hides the content below.
No need for absolute position in this. Your example uses javascript to change the size of the div and the content inside.
You can do this with pure CSS
Example:
<html>
<body>
<section class="fullscreen"></section>
<section class="other-content></section>
</body>
</html>
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
height: 100%;
}
.fullscrenn {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background: url('../images/fullscreen.jpg') no-repeat center center;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
