Setting a background image to be full screen, and scrollable - html

I'm setting a landing page for My new website
I've created an image, and I'm setting it as the background image. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out at all how to get it to be full screen, and scrollable - so you can just scroll up/down to see the full image - but without having any white spaces or anything.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<title>On The Ropes Boxing! Coming Soon!</title>
<body>
<style>
html {
height: 100%;
margin:0px;
background: url(comingsoon.jpg) no-repeat top center;
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: scroll;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
margin:0px;
}
#appcontainer {
position: relative
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
width:560px; height:2220px;
left:20px; top:20px;
}
<img src="comingsoon.jpg" style="minwidth:100%;height:100%;" alt="" />
</style>
</body>
</html>
That is what I have so far. I'm completely new to HTML and CSS, so I'm basically just learning on the job and going through trial and error. I fully expect to be told I'm doing this completely the wrong way. Any advice is appreciated - just be aware that I may need to be told as if I'm an idiot :)
Thanks so much.

Replace the img tag in your code with this:
<img src="http://www.ontheropesboxing.com/comingsoon.jpg" style="width:100%;position:absolute;z-index:-1" alt="" />
And move it out of the style tags.

Before I get into the answer, allow me to correct your code first.
The basic format for a webpage is this:
<!doctype HTML>
<html>
<head>
//Titles, scripts, styles, etc.
</head>
<body>
//Everything else, can also hold scripts and styles.
</body>
</html>
You're missing a head in your code.
Second, don't place html tags inside style tags (referring to your img).
As for your question,
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>On The Ropes Boxing! Coming Soon!</title>
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin:0px;
border: 0;
}
.splash {
width: 100%;
z-index: 0;
}
//Rest of styles
</style>
</head>
<body>
<img src="http://www.ontheropesboxing.com/comingsoon.jpg" class="splash" />
</body>
</html>
Putting the image as the background won't work, as the page won't have anything to scroll to. Putting the background as an image will allow the page to scroll.

Css Refuses to display image?

I've tried displaying an image like this in every possible way I can think of:
1. links to a website like it is now
2. having the image be local: bird.png
3. i always double check the name of the image is right and the extension
4. ../images/bird.png
etc.
Any help is appreciated
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title> Internal Affairs Inc. | When Information Really Matters </title>
<style>
#logo
{
background-image:url('http://www.birds.com/wp-content/uploads/home/bird4.jpg');
}
</style>
</head>
<h1>ho</h1>
<body>
<div id="logo"></div>
</body>
</html>
The div doesn't have any dimensions. 0 height. Add some height of 302px as the image is 302px high:
#logo {
background-image:url('http://www.birds.com/wp-content/uploads/home/bird4.jpg');
height: 302px;
}
<div id="logo"></div>
Your div has no dimensions, so is 0x0 and a bg image is not visible. Try:
#logo
{
background-image:url('http://www.birds.com/wp-content/uploads/home/bird4.jpg');
width: 592px;
height: 302px;
}

Background image in id selector not showing up

I cannot get this background image to appear. It is supposed to appear in the background with the header overlapping it. I'm using an id selector. I literally copied this straight from the book i have for my class and it's not working at all.
Here is my code. I'm very new to css
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Fall Nature Hikes</title>
<style>
#content { background-image: url(fall.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 640px;
height: 480px;
padding-top: 20px; }
h1 { background-color: #FFFFFF;
opacity: 0.6;
font-size: 4em;
padding: 10 px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<h1>Fall Nature Hikes</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In my browser it works right for another image, you can check the url(fall.jpg) path is right?
I checked, your code can show the image, you can see this sample:
> https://jsfiddle.net/a9qm1j2t/
It's just copy all your html and css source code.
I think you should check image path and image type again, and make sure it's right.
May be your image path is not proper.
First check where is your css file and image file.You can verify your image path by inspecting your code on browser and in style check your image path.

White border around single image in html document

I have a quick question, I'm making a simple html document, with an image that I want to fill the entire page.
For some reason, it wants to create a border around the image. I've tried border="0"; and padding 0px 0px 0px 0px;
Here is the code in which I have: (You can also check it out live if you prefer www.kidbomb.com/chefwannabe)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Pre-Order Now!</title>
</head>
<body>
<img style="width: 100%; overflow:hidden;" src="http://www.kidbomb.com/chefwannabe/chefwannabepreview.png" />
</body>
</html>
Add the following CSS in your code. Default body will give some margin and padding. So better whenever you start new work, add this style in your css for getting the proper result.
body
{
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
Instead of using the img tag, set the background-image property of the body tag so it encompasses the entirety of the page.
body {
background-image: url("path/to/image.jpg");
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}

chrome gets fixed element replicated when scrolling

I am using chrome version 18.0.1025.162 m
I have html file with iframe within it.
i cant change the containing page or its css (main.htm)
i can only change the iframe (show.htm) and its css.
The problem is that when i scroll down and then scroll back up then the adminbar div get replicated several time.
I am attaching 2 screenshots the first one is the screen before scrolling and i also add the code so that the bug can be reproduced.
I think it may be a bug in chrome, i am not sure.
I would like to know if it is a a bug and more importantly if there is a work around by only changing the iframe and that it does not include removing the background color from the iframe.
(removing the background color from the iframe solve the issue but i need the background color)
so this is how it looks:
before scrolling:
after scrolling (admin bar get replicated on screen)
now code to reproduce the bug in chrome
first file - main.htm (i cannot change this code)
<!-- main.htm -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<style type="text/css">
#adminbar
{
background-color: #464646;
height: 28px;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
}
#body-content
{
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body >
<div id="body-content">
<iframe src="show.htm" width="100%" height="943"></iframe>
<div id="adminbar" class="" role="navigation">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
and the show.htm
<!-- show.htm -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background: #e0e0e0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<br/>
<p style='margin-bottom:500px;'>bazinga</p>
<p style='margin-bottom:500px;'>bazinga</p>
<p style='margin-bottom:500px;'>bazinga</p>
</body>
</html>
i think i found a workaround.
i created a file background.png which has one pixel with the color i want (#e0e0e0).
i then replace this:
body
{
background: #e0e0e0;
}
with this:
body
{
background: #e0e0e0 url(background.png) repeat-x;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
Add -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0); to your body-content CSS
CSS
#body-content {
float: left;
width: 100%;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
}
This seems to force Chrome to use your GPU and smooth out the rendering issue.
UPDATE: Since you can't change main.htm, what about changing the background color of show.htm to a background image of the same color? I tested this and it worked. Is that a possibility?
I recreated your setup and then added a script to the body of show.htm. As a quick measure I added a name="if1" to the <iframe /> in main.htm, but you could always find a handle on the element without using an explicitly assigned name.
It seems to solve the issue for the dummy setup that you provided, if and only if main.htm is scrolled all the way to the top. Think it's weird, join the club! See if this works for the real thing... Either way, it may just be a nudge in the right direction! :)

parent.document.body.style.webkitTransform = _parentScale;
}

</html>​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
I also tried to experiment with the following until it became bed-time!
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onscroll = function(){
console.log("It's 'Doctor' Sheldon Cooper!");
//parent.document.if1.document.body.style.webkitTransform = 'scale(1)';
var _me = document.body;
_me.style.webkitTransform = _me.style.webkitTransform;
//_me.style.display='none';
_me.offsetHeight
//_me.style.display='block';
var _parent = parent.document.body;
_parent.style.webkitTransform = _parent.style.webkitTransform;
_parent.style.display=_parent.style.display;
_parent.offsetHeight
//_parent.style.display='block';
}
parent.window.onscroll = function(){
console.log("But. You're in my spot!");
//parent.document.if1.document.body.style.webkitTransform = 'scale(1)';
var _me = document.body;
_me.style.webkitTransform = _me.style.webkitTransform;
//_me.style.display='none';
_me.offsetHeight
//_me.style.display='block';
var _child = parent.document.if1.document.body;
_child.style.webkitTransform = _child.style.webkitTransform;
_child.style.display=_child.style.display;
_child.offsetHeight
//_child.style.display='block';
}
</script>
I also attempted to apply j08691's answer, using the following script, but it gave slightly unexpected results. I caused the absolute positioned top bar, to not be fixed, among other things!
window.onload = function(){
console.log("It's 'Doctor' Sheldon Cooper!");
var test = parent.document.getElementById("body-content");
test.style.webkitTransform = "translate3d(0,0,0)";
}
One may already exist, but if not, could you file this as a bug report on the relevent projects?
Improving / simplifying yossi's answer:
body
{
background:url('bg.png');
}
no need to declare bg-color or repeat-x, just needs a background image.
Tested on Chrome 18.0.1025.168, Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Remove the float: left; from your #body-content css and it will work just fine.
This looks to be a rendering bug in chrome. If you scroll back up really slowly, you'll notice that you get a solid colour from your admin bar as the colour of your iframe.
Incidentally chrome on OSX renders exactly the same.
#adminbar {
background-color: #464646;
height: 28px;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
right:0px
}
#body-content {
float: none;
width: 100%;
}
It would help to get a live-demo/version of your actual website to do more thorough testing and sort the bug out.
In any case, I was able to reproduce the bug and then fix it (kind of):
Here's the 'show' css:
body
{
background: #e0e0e0;
height:100%;
width:100%;
z-index:9999;
position:fixed;
}
and Here's the link to my test page:
sotkra.com/t_main.html
last but not least, yes it is a bug and it caused by the flickering of the scrolling of the iframe content against the actual 'base' document. I've seen similar issues before but there was equally no documentation about it. They're just rendering bugs, usually caused by less than specific css or very very odd cases where it's nobody's fault save the browser's.

Using a gradient as your background image also works. This is preferable for me, because I don't have to create an image file and it doesn't generate an extra request on the client side.
body {
background: #FFF -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #FFF, #FFF) repeat-x;
background-attachment: fixed;
}

How to make a box fill an entire web page in all browsers?

I made a web page with the following code and viewed it in Google Chrome.
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html {padding:30px; background-color:blue;}
body {margin:0px; background-color:red;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
hello world
</body>
</html>
The result is what I expected, a red box with a 30 pixel blue border that fills the entire web browser window. However, when I view it in Firefox, the red box is only the height of one line-height. In IE8, there is no blue border.
How do I make Firefox and IE8 display the same thing as what I see in Google Chrome?
Additional notes I tried adding different doctype tags to the page, but that only made it appear like Firefox, that is, the 1 line-height of red.
For this I think you have to resort to absolute or relative positioning; otherwise, your height/margin combo will push the bottom blue line off the screen. This works cross browser for this simple case. Hopefully it works for your more complicated use case.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body { background:blue; }
.first{
position:absolute; /* fixed also works */
background:red;
top:30px;
left:30px;
right:30px;
bottom:30px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="first">hello world</div>
</body>
</html>
if i understand you correctly, set your html & body width to 100% , height 100%
http://jsfiddle.net/Diezel23/Lv6Vw/#base
You could add an additional div:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
padding: 30px;
margin: 0px;
}
div {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
ABC
</div>
</body>
</html>
