I have the image shown below (blue bubble) and I will need to put text behind it.
The amount of text will change frequently so I need to be able to have the image expand (vertically) to hold more text.
Hoping to get a tap in the right direction with this one. Can't see to get my head around how to get the image to expand with the amount of text...
thankyou
div {
background:url('myimage.jpg') no-repeat;
width:0 auto; /* add fixed width if need only to expand vertically */
height:0 auto;
padding:5px;
background-size:cover; /* background-size:100% 100%; */
}
Instead make the image background of div! The div will automatically adjust its width and height ;)

In my html content, I want to place an image at the bottom right corner of some container. While the image, like all images, is square in that it has a height and width, the actual visual image that the eye sees is not square. It could be a ball for example or a triangle. I also want text in this container but when the text is a lot, I would like it to flow around the edge of the visual image and not along the actual rectangle edges. Is this possible? Does html or css have some construct where you can setup the border (or edges) where text should stay away from?
If you want to solve the problem only with css and html you need to programming the page with many paragraphs (<p> tag) with various dimensions and set the image like a background image of the div wrapper.
#wrapper {
width:500px;
height:500px;
background-color: #fff; /*Default bg, similar to the background's base color*/
background-image: url("image.png");
background-position: right bottom; /*Positioning*/
background-repeat: no-repeat; /*Prevent showing multiple background images*/
}
After that set any paragraphs with custom width to set the text around the image.
Unfortunately i don't know any other "automatic" solutions.

I'm a complete beginner. I tried my best to search for a solution, but part of the problem is that I don't even know what the technical term is for the thing I'm trying to do.
Essentially I want to have a tiled background repeating everywhere, but then also have a white rectangle that extends from the top of the page to the bottom, occupying roughly 50% of the horizontal screen space. How would I go about accomplishing this?
If I get it correctly, you might just want a repeated background of the page and then absolutely-positioned <div> with white background.
This is pretty basic stuff, I suggest you take a beginner's course in HTML and CSS before going too much further.
body {background: url(tile.png) left top repeat;}
content {background-color: #fff; margin: 0px auto; width: 50%;}
I hope this is what you wanted. It is a tiled, repeating background with a white strip, half the screen space, going down the middle. If you want a tiled background, you don't need to define anything in CSS, and CSS will do it for you, but I'm not sure with the browser compatibility so it might be safer to explicitly define repeat:.
First of all, to those complaining that height: 100% does not work, note that the div with height: 100% is only being the height: 100% of its parent element (the container that encloses the div, in the case of this JSFiddle, the #container). Therefore, if its parent has no content, the div with 100% height will become invisible.
Therefore, the html, body and container must all have height: 100% for the white strip to have 100% height here in this JSFiddle:
JSFiddle
After this you are free to add any content to the white strip, which will probably be your webpage! :D
Note: Here I have defined the strip as width: 50%; but sometimes it may be better to explicitly define the width (width: 1200px;) so that you can avoid problems with the text and divs going haywire when you zoom in, zoom out, etc.
Edit:
Also, since the height of the container increases as you add more content, such as divs, the problem with the white strip not reaching the bottom of the page is that you simply have nothing that fills it up. As you add more content the strip will naturally grow to fill the page. Good luck!
Solution 1
Here's a solution that uses only the background CSS property applied to document body, no extra elements needed. It's documented so you can understand whats going on.
body
{
/*
* This specifies two background images, separated by comma
* First parameter is just a white pixel
* For the second use any background pattern of your choice
*/
background-image:url("http://i.imgur.com/qdx0kzd.png"),
url("http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/tasky_pattern.png");
/*Center background images, self-explanatory*/
background-position: center;
/*Repeat white background image on Y-axis (vertical) only*/
background-repeat: repeat-y, repeat;
/*Make white background size 50%. Adjust as needed*/
background-size: 50%, auto;
}
You can see an example in this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/dV2zZ/6/
Solution 2
This solution applies different backgrounds to different elements: the pattern to the document body, and the white background to a content container. Code is also documented for better understanding.
HTML
<div id="content">Content</div>
CSS
html, body
{
margin: 0;
/* Make document size extend to the bottom of the page */
height: 100%;
}
body
{
/*Patern background. Use a pattern of your choice*/
background-image: url("http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/tasky_pattern.png");
}
#content
{
/*Make container background white*/
background-color: #FFFFFF;
/*Center container*/
margin: 0 auto;
/*Size 50%, adjust as needed*/
width: 50%;
/*Extend to the bottom*/
height: 100%;
}

I am having difficulty tuning the placement of text on my web page. Items on the page seem to float about and not lock down. I need them to stay static with respect to the background image.
For example, I have a div Item called "leftMenu" I want the left menu to stay approximately 20 pixels to the left of the background image. Things seemed to work until I had to center the background image. Now that the background image is centered, I seem to have lost the ability to lock down div positions with respect to the background.
When the screen is full size things look good, but when the page size is altered the leftMenu drifts all over the place. I'm currently going through a lot of trial and error using absolute and relative positioning, but I can't seem to get the right combination of settings to make the item stay put irrespective of the page size.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Instead of using a big background taking a div of text and position it absolutely to the center, why not get a div that's exactly the size of the background image and center it using:
CSS:
html, body{
height:100%;
position:relative;
}
div.siteWrapper{
background: !VALUE;/* your background*/
padding: 0 0 0 0; /* the space top, right, bottom, left from the edge of the bg image to the content box of the image*/
width: !VALUE; /* width of your background - (left + right padding)*/
margin:100px auto; /* this will center your site horizontally and move it away from the top*/
}
HTML:
<body>
<div class="siteWrapper">
//everything in here
</div>
</body>
As per your requirement acc to me you have to create a wrapper div in which your whole stuff should be present and you need to use jquery/javascript to calculate the position from top, right, left, bottom of the wrapper to make it in center of the screen. For example lightbox of jquery. because when monitor size varies then resolution changes and the position of background image change according to that but content is set according to css set on the id/class on the elements.
How can I align a floating image on the right-bottom corner of my text? I have a div which has a background colore and contains a text. I want to see an image in that div tag, in the right-bottom corner. Any CSS solution??
<div id="myText">
A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here A lot of text here
<img id ="info_ico" src="images/key_ico.png" />
<div>
#myText
{
background:#fdf6cc;
min-height: 90px;
margin-left:1px;
width: 913 px;
padding-left: 30px;
}
#info_ico
{
float:right;
clear:right;
}
Now what to change to see the image in the bottom of the text?
If the length of the content is not going to change you can always place the image just before the end of the text, keep it floated right as you're doing and the last bit of text will flow down the left hand side.
Example here: http://jsfiddle.net/pBDaJ/
CSS unfortunately does not provide a way to do this.
The only thing you can do is to experimentally change where you insert the img inside your text, until it ends up where you want it to be: http://jsfiddle.net/KQFBb/1/
This is obviously not viable if the content is dynamic, or the dimensions of the container can otherwise change.
In that case, the only option left is to use JavaScript.
Using background you should be able to do this.
Add to your myText div styling:
background: url('images/key_ico.png') no-repeat;
background-position: 100% 100%;
This will place the picture in the bottom right corner of the div.
Hope this helps :-)
You can use the ::before pseudo-element to add a specific amount of height above the floated image. Just float the pseudo-element to the right and give it some height; then float the image to the right, clearing the pseudo-element.
.wrapper::before {
content: '';
float: right;
height: 300px; /* Height of the container minus the height of the image */
}
.wrapper img {
float: right;
clear: right;
}
If you don't know the height of the content, some light JavaScript is necessary. See http://jsfiddle.net/3jvJh/ for a working example.
I've been given a design for a website, and am trying to implement it.
One problem I've run into is that the design has some background images (one for the header, one for the body, and one for the footer of the site) that are wider than the main content area of the site.
Simply putting them in as background images doesn't work, since expanding the header, body and footer divs enough to accommodate the backgrounds causes horizontal scrollbars to appear if the browser window is not big enough to fully show the backgrounds.
This is undesirable since the backgrounds are not really important for viewing the website, and I don't want scrollbars to appear for them (scrollbars should only appear once the browser is too small to completely show the content of the website).
The second technique is to have a separate, absolutely positioned div to show the header background image (and put it under an element with the browser window's size), and set its width to 100% so that it never exceeds the size of the browser window (and hence create scrollbars).
This works up to a point - however, when the window is too small, the background starts shifting around relative to the content since the "top center" position of the background is relative to the browser window, not the content area. At large sizes, these are effectively the same since the content area is centered, but at small sizes, only part of the content is shown, so the center of the content and the center of the browser window are different.
A good illustration of this problem that I've found is the Quicken website: http://quicken.intuit.com/. At large sizes, its cloud background looks fine, but if you make your window's width small enough, the clouds start shifting relative to the content (bad!).
Any ideas on how to fix this so that backgrounds images
don't create scrollbars since they are not part of the content of the site
are fixed relative to the content of the site (and don't shift around at small browser window sizes)
?
An ideal solution would be something like turning overflow to hidden on the body, but only for specified divs. Unfortunately I believe this is impossible.
I'd prefer a pure html/css solution, but I accept that I may need js to get the effect I want.
Thanks! (this is a complex issue, so if any clarification is needed, let me know)
UPDATE: Fixed this by setting min-width on the background div to the width of the content.
Set the min-width on the div containing the background image to the width of the content.
You need to have your header, content & footer have a width of 100%. And put the image in as a background image in these divs ... center it horizontally.
Inside the specific divs have a wrapper that is centered. and is the width of the content of them divs.
Like so.
HTML
<div id="header">
<div class="wrapper">
...
</div>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div class="wrapper">
...
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<div class="wrapper">
...
</div>
</div>
CSS
div#header {
background: url(...) 50% 0; /* to center your background image horizontally */
}
div#content {
background: url(...) 50% 0; /* to center your background image horizontally */
}
div#footer {
background: url(...) 50% 0; /* to center your background image horizontally */
}
div.wrapper {
margin: 0 auto; /* to center the div horizontally */
width: 960px; /* or however wide it should be */
}
Hope this helps.
Am I missing something, or should you be using the CSS background-image property?
I had a look at the Quicken site, and to be honest the cloud background image shifting when the browser is resized shouldn't be worried about unless your background-image is most distinctive than a bunch of clouds.
See what I mean?
You could use the overflow property and set it to hidden on the div that cause a scrollbars to appear.
I had the same issue on a site that I worked on, and come up with the following solution, which works well if all your background images are the same width.
/*
A container div that is set to the 100% width, with the overflow set to hidden.
This hides the overflowing images if the window sizes is too small
*/
#bg_container {
position:absolute;
z-index:0;
top:0px;
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
/*
A div that sets the size of the content and centers itself on the page.
*/
.bg {
margin:0 auto;
width:1000px; /* content size */
overflow:visible;
}
/*
Here I set the image away from the left edge of the div to center it to the content. The actual size of the image is 1500px.
*/
.bg img {
margin-left:-250px;
}
