I have a website that is using a div to display a background image across the screen, I have nothing in the div, but I am specifying a height.
My code looks like:
<div id="nav">
<!-- -->
</div>
My css looks like:
/* Navigation */
#nav {
background: url("images/bgnav.png") repeat-x;
height: 116px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
what I don't understand is the fact that in Safari and FireFox the background image spans the width of my browser, but in IE8 it stops after about 1000px or so and it's not in another div...it's all by itself and there is no other code than what I posted. It'll go longer if I specify a width in pixels, but if I don't specify a width or if the width is in a percentage like 100% it doesn't work. I also tried to set a min-width to the width of the image, but that didn't work either.
Any ideas...this seems to only affect IE8. I tested on multiple machines that are both running IE8 and they both have the same issue, so there is no browser cache going on here.
Thanks,
Josh
I took #Zaf Khan's advice and reworked my website to be compliant with a smaller screen resolution. I did like the original code, but I'm glad I changed it because I have optimized it for more screen sizes :-) and even though it looks a little different than before it functions much better!
Thanks,
Josh

I've been battling with this simple issue for a while and I'm looking for some help...
I'm trying to make a full width colour banner that spans the full width of the page, but doesn't in any way affect the browser viewport sizing. I want it to be visible to human eyes, but I don't want it to affect the size/location of the browser's start view or scrolling behavior... just like it's not really there.
I also want to be able to place the banner in-line in the HTML.
Here is my test page: http://www.tanatu.com/widthtest
The Green Banner works perfectly, but it's y-location is defined in CSS (which is a pain)
The Pink Banner is my best guess so far, and works as intended on Chrome, but not on Safari on iOS, where the viewport is skewed to one side

I've been playing with this for months so any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated! :0)
Thanks!
Because you are trying to break out of your parent container that is where your challenge is. You can do this a few ways but I think the easiest without completely changing your markup would be to use a combination of viewport width units and calc()
If you change these attributes on #widthtest4 it should work:
#widthtest4 {
width: 100vw;
margin-left: calc(-50vw + 426px);
}
I have a problem when loading the mockup of my project on an iPhone.
The problem is that on my mobile device, most 100% containers seem to have some kind of a right margin or padding, which leads to content crash.
I really think that probably this is due to "viewport" stuff, which I don't know for now, but anyway, take a look.
when seen your screenshot, Your code is up to date, when I put my image in your code then it's working fine, so you can check your image width and check css
check with this #0a1a19 url("../img/img2.png") no-repeat scroll center center / 100% 100%;
If you want to make responsive then use bootstrap and you can get from here....Bootstrap
But you are used custom css so you need to use media query for different layouts like, tablet, mobile, etc...
and one more thing if you not getting perfect layout in your mobile view then must check your media query for mobile view.
Note: always use % (not px) to give the width of any image.
.header__inner has fixed width, change width to 100% and remove padding for mobile devices:
#media <params go here> {
.header__inner, .header__inner_mod {
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
}
}
Codepen
Have a look a this url:
http://www.preen.me/product/1113142/
The product box on the left has the class product_pic, and contains an img tag with these CSS attributes:
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%
This is to ensure that the image fits proportionally in the box.
It works perfectly in Chrome, Firefox and all other proper modern browsers on PC:
It does not work in mobile Safari. Specifically, if you try to look at this page on an iPad in landscape mode the image simply disappears:
I think this is a rendering issue in mobile Safari but I'm at a loss as to how to solve it. Removing either one of the max-width\max-life properties brings back the image, but obviously without the required functionality. How can I go around this?
As I remember it, this is fixed by setting html/body tag to width/height 100%.
html,body{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
And don't forget to set all divs up to the div where it should have effecto to width/height 100%.
Also you can try to set the html,body to position: relative. I'm no longer sure about this one.
A few suggestions. Other than playing with "overflow:hidden", you can try adding default values for width and height or simply play around by using "width:auto" or "height:auto" or both. You may also want to set "float:left".
Hope this solves your problem (at least partially).
happy coding :)

After we put it live we discovered that if the viewport is too small for the content, so as to require scrolling, the background image (body-tag, repeat-x) won't extend beyond the initial view, but I can't for the life of me figure out why and how to fix it. A note to bear in mind is that I didn't code the site by myself, since I'm not that Javascript-savvy and the designers wanted some swooshy effects. My senior colleague could surely find a remedy, but he is unfortunately away and I'd like to wrap this up.
The state of the html and css is the same as when I found out about the issue, but I've tried suggestions I've seen on similar questions, mainly revolving around min-width. I don't really understand the difference between background is only as wide as viewport? and my problem?
Full view = i.imgur.com/6aDpN.jpg
Problem = i.imgur.com/X6JVp.jpg
IE does not support min-width so you can use an expression to do the same:
body {
/* fix for most browsers, fill in desired width */
min-width: 1000;
/* IE Version, fill in desired width equal to the min-width, second value with 2px less */
width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 1000 ? "998px" : "auto" );
}
The closest thing to a working solution I could find was to from #bodyCurrent, #bodyNext:
Remove right: 0.
Add min-width: 1349px.
Looking again, maybe that's good enough.
Tested in Firefox only, using Firebug.
I realize I'm way late to the party, but I ran into the same problem and added a min-width to the body to fix this problem. Since the link you provided still has this problem, I assume you may want more advice. The min-width of the body should be at least as wide as the viewport when horizontal scrollbars appear.
It's easier to see what's happening if you make your viewport small enough for scrollbars and use Firefox's 3D view to see the page. Then you'll see that your region-footer is set to take 100% width of the body element and that the background works fine; however, the body itself is smaller than the overflow from the top part of the page so you get that cut-off looking area when you scroll. So make the body element have a min-width as large as the overflow from the top part of the page and you'll be all set. This is a pretty common problem (I even noticed it on mailchimp for a while).
Add this to the background of div#wrapper:
background:url("../img/home.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #1B2E4C;
Tested it in IE7:
html, body {
position:relative;
overflow:hidden;
margin:0 auto !important;
}
I have a 3-column table which contains images. All td's have width="33%", and the images contained have CSS width:100%. In FF and Opera, the images scale like I want them to, i.e. fill the entire width of the cell, maintaining their aspect ratio. However, in IE7, they behave quite differently: I think the pic with the largest width stretches the entire column, and the smaller ones are stretched up to the new available width.
The page in question is: http://mybgagent.com/print.php?offers_id=4515
(I know the site is a mess, I didn't code it)
Any advice on what to do? Setting css position:absolute makes images scale correctly in IE, but breaks scaling in Opera and FF, as well as positioning in all browsers.
I ran into this issue a lot with IE7 "compatibility" mode. the easy fix was to not only put
width: 100%;
in my css, but also
width: 100%;
float: left;
cleared that nasty hiccup right up.
Sounds like you have a solution for each browser but no way to target it, well here comes the CSS Browser Selector to help you with that! Just plug in this jQuery to your site (in the <head> section), then write separate rules for IE and the real browsers and append .ie before your IE selectors :)
Works great, I use it all the time!
Example:
myTd
{
background: #f00; /*whatever your rules are*/
}
.ie .myTdv
{
position: absolute;
}
And that's it!
Try setting the style of the parent cell to position:relative.
