I hope somebody can help me here.
I set a background-image, which I want to cover the whole site.
Which is why I used:
html {
background: url('../img/bg/girl_on_sunny_day.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Although I want the background-image to cover the view, I don't want it fixed. That means, if you scroll down, the image shouldn't be visible anymore. I guess this isn't possible and the only possible way would be, to have a big div-tag, with 100% width and its own background-image. Right? Now that I am writing about it... I guess I am going to test it out. Please forgive me for simultaneously hitting the "Post your Question" button.

Also I have an h1-Tag, exactly under the navigation bar, but it doesn't show up as an h1 Title and I have no clue, why.
Instead of background-size: cover use background-size: 100% auto. Adjust the height property according to taste.

I have this html code to create a background to my div:
<div id="secondBigDiv">test</div>
This is my css code :
#secondBigDiv{
background: url(../images/myposts/background.jpg)no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
This code works perfectly as I want but the problem is:
I couldn't fit the height also, when i scroll down I find empty white spaces because my background image didn't fit the height, it fits the width.
Any help?
I would try putting each image property in its own line. background-repeat,background-attachment, etc
May not change anything but seems to work for me.
Here is what I am looking for: http://tinyurl.com/oe3ydvr. No matter the size of the window the html adjust's to fit and appear perfectly. I have examined the css code but I still can't figure it out. I read somewhere to do as follows:
<style>
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
</style>
Everything I have attempted has fallen short. I would really appreciate some closure on this issue, Thanks jmr333:)
well, there are a number of things going on here, the main slider container slider1_container is being ajusted to pixel-size that fits the viewport with javascript (with an img tag inside). The text blocks are not text, but images and scaled that way - a very bad practice from many standpoints. Your code relates to how a background image could scale "in a good way" while resizing the viewport
You can't style the background of your site like shown in your sample code, with properties directly on base level of your script tag. You always have to style a particular html element, i.e. div, or body or html, and assign properties in that context:
body {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
See w3schools for examples on the background attribute.
In the mentioned site, there's actually complex javascript at work to style the top banner's (#slider1_container) width. This is easy to spot, because its inline css attributes get dynamically adjusted, while you change your browser window's width...
As a much simpler start, start with max-width: 100% as shown here.
I am guessing, most likely you'll want to start with a particular 100%-width-div (and certain elements on top), not the overall page background. (There is no need for javaScript on these basics )
I'm facing this trouble for quite some time now, have tried n number of options but still no luck.
I have this background image :
Which I want to make as the background of my website. I added it as a full sized background, but I don't know why it always gets resized and becomes something like this.
Here's my css code for the background image.
body
{
background: url('../images/home.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
I'm really unsure how to fix this! Please guide me in the correct way.
The background-size: cover property in CSS3 stretches your images to fit the background of the element you have specified, which in this case your body.
Edit: As others have mentioned, using background-size: contain would give you the most desirable result as it is defined by the following:
contain
This keyword specifies that the background image should be scaled to be as large as possible while ensuring both its dimensions are less than or equal to the corresponding dimensions of the background positioning area.
The link below also has other properties that may give you your desired results:
Source:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-size
Try to use background-size:contain instead of background-size:cover. Maybe that is more appropriate.
If you want to keep your image in proportion you would want to use
background-size: contain;
However the issue with this is it will keep the background in proportion, so if your window is not the same proportions you will have white space around. Building off #Sebastien 's fiddle I can show you what I mean -
http://jsfiddle.net/j0n19rw5/5/
You could try re-sizing the image itself to work better with contain.
But if you want it to cover the background you would probably be best using cover. One trick is to crop the image to the space (if you know a general sizing).
You can get away without stretching it too much with a method like this one :
https://jsfiddle.net/r3qpe4dm/1/
But it will still cut off your image at smaller sizes.
To be sure, split the background property for each sub-attribute :
body
{
background-image: url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZQinh.jpg');
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}

Edit:
Add this to your CSS since your HTML/body seem to have a low height:
html, body {height: 100%;}
I'am trying to design a website with a background image that should stretch in height and width
accordingly when the browser window is resizing. It is complicated to explain what exact behaviour I would like to achieve, for this reason here is the website that does it perfectly:
http://de.wix.com/website-template/view/html/709?originUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fde.wix.com%26number-of-page%3D1%26position-in-page%3D4
I used background-size set to everything possible as well as background-width set to 100%, but
I could not achieve such a behaviour.
Have you tried using the below CSS? This fills the page background with the image.
html {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Without any HTML or CSS of your own, it's impossible for us to truly help you, but generally this behavior can be achieved with the following property: background-size: cover
background-image: url('URLGOESHERE');
height: ???;
background-size: cover;
As long as you specify an explicit height (pixels) and do not specify a width, this property should cause the background-image to resize while maintaining aspect ratio.
JSFiddle Example.
Is there a way to make the background image move when you scroll the page up and down, whenever i scroll up and down the background image stays still but I want it to move with the page, is that possible?
Simply set the attachment to fixed.
background-attachment:fixed;
If you have a large image, you can use background-size.
For example:
html {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}-
background-size does what it tells you. Using cover as the attribute, the background image is scaled to fill the entire background, thus getting rid of the scrollbars when using an image larger than your screen.
background-attachment?
