So I have an image (w:1638px h:2048px) and I set it as my background using the background-image function and then trying to give it width: 100%; and height: 100%; attributes. It stretches the image across the screen horizontally but then it makes me scroll down for the rest of it. I want no scrolling. Is there a way to crop/position a portrait orientated image to look proportional and fill the screen as a background properly? Should I make it a different size in Photoshop, something landscape orientated?
I have a regular <div class="bgimage></div> in the html and the css looks like this:
.bgimage {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-image: url(images/background.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
position: absolute;
}
Is there something I'm missing or not doing correctly? I'm using Dreamweaver CS6 and viewing it in the latest versions of Firefox/Safari.
Thank you.
If you're setting the background for the whole page, just style the body element instead:
body {
background-image: url(images/background.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}

I'm trying to make a page design like this one: click
I made it, actually. Problem is that when I change the resolution of my webpage, the elements overlap, the background div and the PNG acts different and everything looks awful. (I've tried with position: absolute (PNG) and position: relative (background))
You can use the background-size and background-position CSS properties. You should try this way:
body {
background-image: url("your-bg-image.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
.responsive-image {
background-image: url("your-image.png");
background-size: contain;
background-position: center;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
I want to have my background picture fill out the whole screen but I can't find a solution to fix my problem. Would be cool if someone could give me a solution for all mobile devices.
This is what my screen would look like now:
I tried many things. Here is my current code:
html {
background: url('/path/to/img') no-repeat center center fixed !important;
background-size: cover !important;
height: 100%;
}
Try :
html { background-image: ...
no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
width: 100%; }
I am trying to make a picture cover the whole screen. What do I miss and what have I typed wrong? Do i need everything?
HTML
<img src="Universet.jpg" id="universet">
CSS
#universet {
height: 100%;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
If you are trying to make this image the background image of your whole page you can set it on the body element like so:
body {
background-image: url("Universet.jpg");
}
you may need additional styling to get it just to your liking depending on image size.
I'm trying to create a webpage. I'm having a little difficulty
with getting my background picture to show up. I had it up and running, but I decided I wanted to give it a responsive design, and I can't figure it out. This is my code for the image:
<style>
body .title_img {
background-image: url("SplashScreen.jpg");
height: auto;
width: 100%;
background-position: center;
z-index: -1;
}
</style>
<div class="title_img">
<!-- Background Splash Screen -->
</div>
If I give the height/width a definitive size (pixels) it shows up. I don't understand why 100% width with auto height wouldn't give me a picture that is 100% the size of the body (which I THINK i have made sure it was the 100% of the html document) and a height that is automatically proportional to the width. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT- Added the HTML code.
Full-Page Background Images
I think what you are trying to create, is a full-page background image for your website. Based off of reading the code you provided, I believe you want something that does the following:
Fills entire page with image, no white space
Scales image as needed
Retains image proportions (aspect ratio)
Image is centered on page
Does not cause scrollbars
As cross-browser compatible as possible
Isn't some fancy shenanigans like Flash
If that is what you are trying to create, then I found a few lines of code that could help. Here is an example of how you could go about doing this with your image using css:
CSS File (That's where the magic happens):
html {
background: url("SplashScreen.jpg") no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Just make sure your html file is setup correctly to use the css file, and it should create a cool background image you can use for your websites.
You can read more into this here and learn more about what makes this work.
Try setting height: 100% in body and html in your css:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
And then put background-size: cover in body .title_img:
body .title_img {
background-image: url("SplashScreen.jpg");
height: 100%;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
z-index: -1;
}
See reference here.
Use
background-size: cover
or
background-size:100% 100%.
with
background-repeat: no-repeat
That will set it to 100% of its container.
I am just trying to set my background but this image will not work. It is between 15 to 20MB in size so I tried to turn it into 5MB. Still no luck. I made a really small image, 25KB size, and that worked but just repeated. My localhost will not show big images either. Is there some limit? What do I need to do to get a full image page?
body {
background-image:url(background.jpg);
}
Do this to avoid repeating the image:
body
{
background-image:url(background.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
You can also experiment with background-size: cover like this:
body
{
background-image: url("http://www.google.com/doodle4google/images/carousel-winner2012.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
Here's a demo at JS Bin with a beautiful Doodle 4 Google as the background image to test the behavior:
http://jsbin.com/ivexah/2
you need to assign a width and height to body.
for example:
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
You can use the shorthand background css property:
background: url(background.jpg) no-repeat;
Also your body might not have a height of 100% because there's no content on your page. Either give your html and body a height of 100% or add more content to your page.
To make a background image cover its entire container use background-size:
background-size: cover;
IE8 and lower don't support this. For those browsers you need a javascript fallback. There's an excellent article on css-tricks.com that shows different techniques.
You shouldn't have any "size" limitation on your background image. More than likely, you're file is so large that you are not waiting long enough for it to load OR you have not set a width and height. Without the dimensions, the element tahat you are trying to load the background image will essentially have a size of 0px x 0px. See the following jsfiddle example:
http://jsfiddle.net/GymxW/1/
The HTML:
<div class="container"></div>
The CSS:
.container {
width: 400px;
height: 100px;
background-image: url(http://dummyimage.com/400x100/4d494d/686a82.gif&text=background+image);
background-repeat: none;
background-position: 0 0;
}
IMPORTANT: If you are wanting to have an image that is "stretched" to the full size of the viewport, a simple solution is to use a plugin, such as Backstretch.
