Trying to create three horizontal buttons with images and labels under them with HTML5.
Tryed the following example: tutorial , but I need different image for each button.
If i give each button id and add to css #id {background-image:url} i see only part of image instead of image stretched to button size.
I copied some of the code from the target site. Note the height and width below
...
width: 78px;
height: 23px;
...
background-image:url(tabsquare.jpg);
...
}
.hbuttons a:hover{
background-image:url(tabsquareover.jpg);
}
It does not stretch the image. It make a box 78px x 23px. It then puts the image in the background. If you want the image to cover 78px x 23px it should be 78px x 23px. Background-images are different from the <img> tag.
You can create three different class name for three button and set the css background image what ever you want.
<button class="hbuttons">and</button>
<button class="buttons">and</button>
<button class="hbutton">and</button>
or
<div>
<a class="hbutton" href="http://www.cssdrive.com">Home </a>
<a class="buttons" href="http://www.cssdrive.com/index.php/main/submit/">Submit </a>
<a class="hbuttons" href="http://www.cssdrive.com/index.php/main/contact/">Contact </a>
</div>
<div style="clear: left;"></div>

I'm having trouble getting the right selector.
Let me try to explain the best way I can:
I'm working on a project that I cannot change HTML and Javascript, it has some dynamic HTML and other reasons.
On the project, there is an image on a <img> tag.
However, I need to change colors between two layouts, and as you can see on the HTML/CSS the only way I got that to work is to hide th <img> tag and set a background to the anchor, that has a title.
So, now, when I change the layouts, the image changes, however there is also something else, this image on click hides the menu and changes the image one more time.
Now, I need to hide the background on the anchor when the title on the image changes.
Here is the HTML BEFORE clicking the image
<div id="div-mh-ico">
<ul id="ul-icone-mh" class="icones">
<li>
<a href="#" class="mh-icon" title="Esconder menu horizontal" onclick="hideMenuHorizontal();">
<img title="Esconder menu horizontal" id="imgHideMenu" src="images/ico_hidemh.png" width="16" height="16">
</a>
</li>
</ul>
And here is the HTML AFTER I click on the image
<div id="div-mh-ico">
<ul id="ul-icone-mh" class="icones">
<li>
<a href="#" class="mh-icon" title="Esconder menu horizontal" onclick="hideMenuHorizontal();">
<img title="Exibir menu horizontal" id="imgHideMenu" src="images/ico_showmh.png" width="16" height="16">
</a>
</li>
</ul>
THE CSS
I HIDE THE ORIGINAL IMAGE, USED ON THE OTHER LAYOUT
#ul-icone-mh li a img {
visibility: hidden !important;
}
AND SET THE NEW IMAGE
a[title="Esconder menu horizontal"] {
box-sizing: border-box;
background-image: url(../images/ico_hidemhc.png);
background-size: 16px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
And when I click it, the image stays the same, but I need to hide that image when the title changes and add another image.
Any ideas what I can do?
You need a bit more than just the right CSS selector. The problem there is the old stumbling block that there is no parent selector.
A bit more thought and work is required.
img { height:50px; width:50px }
ul {padding: 0; list-style:none;}
.icones a::after {
content: '';
height:50px; width:100px;
background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #00FF00 50%, #0000FF 50%);
display:inline-block;
}
.icones a {
height:50px; width:50px;
display:block;
white-space:nowrap;
overflow:hidden;
font-size:0;
}
.icones a img[title='Esconder menu horizontal'] {
margin-left: -50px;
}
.icones a img[title='Exibir menu horizontal'] {
margin-left: -100px;
}
<div id="div-mh-ico">
<ul id="ul-icone-mh" class="icones">
<li>
<a href="#" class="mh-icon" title="Esconder menu horizontal" onclick="hideMenuHorizontal();">
<img title="Esconder menu horizontal" id="imgHideMenu" src="http://placehold.it/200/ff0000" width="16" height="16">
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="div-mh-ico">
<ul id="ul-icone-mh" class="icones">
<li>
<a href="#" class="mh-icon" title="Esconder menu horizontal" onclick="hideMenuHorizontal();">
<img title="Exibir menu horizontal" id="imgHideMenu" src="http://placehold.it/200/990000" width="16" height="16">
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Here I've increased the images to 50x50px from 16x16px to make them a bit easier to see but the principle is just the same.
For the two images referenced by the HTML, I've used two blocks that are different shades of red.
For the two CSS overlay images, for simplicity I've used a linear gradient making a block that's the height of the image and twice the width. The left half is green and the right half blue. You would use a sprite for the two images you want to display. The left half of the sprite would contain the "Esconder ..." replacement image and the right half of the sprite would contain the "Exibir ..." replacement image.
I've also shown both cases together rather than switching between them on click, again for simplicity.
The idea is that the left margin of the image is made negative to shift it out of the a element. The pseudo element that follows contains the sprite and is shifted into that space, either by the width of the image, or twice the width of the image to show different contents for the two cases.
Hence we get a green box for the "Esconder ..." case and a blue box for the "Exibir ..." case.
So if I understand correctly, then the title is "esconder", you want to hide the default image and inject your own. And otherwise you want to show the original (when the title is "exibir".)
You have correctly identified how you would target the a tag based on the title: a[title="Esconder menu horizontal"]. What you then need to do is only exclude the image when it is inside of this tag, and then replace it with your own image. You then also need to give it an explicit size, and declare the a tag which now directly has the background image with some size. Like so:
a[title="Esconder menu horizontal"] img { display: none; }
a[title="Esconder menu horizontal"] {
box-sizing: border-box;
background-image: url(../images/ico_hidemhc.png);
background-size: 16px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 16px;
width: 16px;
display:inline-block;
}
You will notice I added a few lines to your existing styling:
display:inline-block tells the browser that this element should follow the flow like an inline element, but should have block-type semantics. By default, an anchor tag is an inline element, which means it doesn't have explicit size or width -- just what is enforced by its children. Since you've delcared that the child is not to be seen, the anchor tag effectively collapses to be of 0x0 size.
height:16px; width:16px tells the browser the size you want for this image. I guessed at these dimensions based on the background-size property you had set. Since we've told the browser using the display property that this element has explicit size, we now tell it what that size is.
It's not very clear what you're trying to accomplish, but if you're trying to change the anchor based on the image, this is simply not possible using CSS alone.
You can target child elements based on their parents, but you can not target parent elements based on their children in CSS (currently).
The only way to do this would be to affect how the HTML renders the two options, or using Javascript.
There are a few different suggested specs for such a selector, but none have yet been implemented.
Since the img tag is what has the dynamic title, that is the only thing you will be able to target with your CSS. If you cannot accomplish your task by targeting the img then it can't be done within the constraints you stated.

I've been trying to change the size of the image on my button.
Think of it like this: I have a button with an image on it, and it's currently way too big. I've tried scaling it down as such:
<img src = "Button.jpg" height: "50%"; width: "20%"> and this doesn't work, no matter what I put in as the height and width.
Even changing it to 20px and 50px doesn't do anything. I'd prefer not having to create a class because I don't know how to navigate button classes and I'm pretty sure there's a way just to do it like how I'm doing it now.
Also, it's not actually a button, it's part of a list.
<li><a href="https://www.google.com/" target="_blank">
(That's also another issue.)
OK NEW CODE FOR THE BUTTON WITH A CLASS:
<li><button class = "test"></button></li>
</ul>
And for my CSS:
.test{
background-image: "instaButton.jpg";
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
You should apply custom height and width to the image, not to the button.
If you resize the button, the button size will change, but the image will go out of its boundaries. If you use this option, you can set overflow:hidden; to the button, but your image will get cropped.
If you resize the image, the image WILL be resized, and the button will resize respectively to the image.
Run the following snippet for examples:
button {
padding: 5px;
background: #d95753;
border: 0;
}
.btn-size {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
}
.img-size img {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
}
<h1>
Initial styling:
</h1>
<button>
<img src="http://via.placeholder.com/350x150" />
</button>
<h1>
If you resize the button:
</h1>
<p>
the button size will change, but the image will go out of its boundaries. If you use this option, you can set overflow:hidden; to the button, but your image will get cropped.
</p>
<button class="btn-size">
<img src="http://via.placeholder.com/350x150" />
</button>
<h1>
If you resize the image:
</h1>
<p>
the image WILL be resized, and the button will resize respectively to the image.
</p>
<button class="img-size">
<img src="http://via.placeholder.com/350x150" />
</button>
You need to link to a css file in the header. in the css file you can then say: .class and then you can change the shit. So in the html file, you first should add a class to the button so that the css knows where you're talking about.
Your code should look something like this:
<img src="Button.jpg" height="50%" width="20%">
I think you have a wrong html syntax :)
Guys I am using a button with icon on 2 side of the text and it works when the text is smaller, but at times I have longer text and had to break them into 2 lines. how to do it ?
<button type="submit" class="button-orange width-280" > <img src="img/icon-getDetails.png"> Get More Details <img class="button-icon" src="img/icon-external-link.png"> </button>
<button type="submit" class="button-orange width-280" > <img src="img/icon-basket.png"> Add to compare basket <span class="badge white">3</span> <img class="button-icon-chevron" src="img/icon-chevron-right.png"> </button>
I am attaching the image with this. I need the longer text also to be appearing like the 1st button.
I don't have your CSS, but I'm guessing that the class width-280 adds a width: 280px to the button.
Instead of using a fixed width, use a minimum width. Change width: 280px to min-width: 280px.
You could set the icon as a background image on the button, and pad the button's sides to the width of the icons. Please note this method is not IE8 friendly. :(
For example
HTML:
<button>
Get more details
</button>
CSS:
button {
background:
url('img/icon-getDetails.png') top left no-repeat,
url('img/icon-external-link.png') top right no-repeat;
padding: 0 30px;
}
Here's a fiddle that might help you imagine it.
I'm trying to display a png image on a <button> element in HTML.
The button is the same size as the image, and the image is shown but for some reason not in the center - so it's impossible to see it all.
In other words it seems like the top right corner of the image is located at the center of the button and not at the top right corner of the button.
This is the HTML code:
<button id="close" class="closing" onClick="javascript:close_clip()"><img src="icons/close.png" /></button>
Update:
What actually happens, I think, is a margin problem. I get a two pixel margin, so the background image is going out of the button. The button and the image are the same size, which is only 20px, so it's very noticable... I tried margin:0, padding:0, but it didn't help...
You could use input type image.
<input type="image" src="http://example.com/path/to/image.png" />
It works as a button and can have the event handlers attached to it.
Alternatively, you can use css to style your button with a background image, and set the borders, margins and the like appropriately.
<button style="background: url(myimage.png)" ... />
If the image is a piece of semantic data (like a profile picture, for example), then use an <img> element inside your <button> and use CSS to resize the <img>. If the image is just a way to make a button visually pleasing, use CSS background-image to style the <button> (and don't use an <img>).
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ThinkingStiff/V5Xqr/
HTML:
<button id="close-image"><img src="http://thinkingstiff.com/images/matt.jpg"></button>
<button id="close-CSS"></button>
CSS:
button {
display: inline-block;
height: 134px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
vertical-align: top;
width: 104px;
}
#close-image img {
display: block;
height: 130px;
width: 100px;
}
#close-CSS {
background-image: url( 'http://thinkingstiff.com/images/matt.jpg' );
background-size: 100px 130px;
height: 134px;
width: 104px;
}
Output:
The simplest way to put an image into a button:
<button onclick="myFunction()"><img src="your image path here.png"></button>
This will automatically resize the button to the size of the image.
try this
<input type="button" style="background-image:url('your_url')"/>
Why don't you use an image with an onclick attribute?
For example:
<script>
function myfunction() {
}
</script>
<img src='Myimg.jpg' onclick='myfunction()'>
Add new folder with name of Images in your project. Put some images into Images folder. Then it will work fine.
<input type="image" src="~/Images/Desert.jpg" alt="Submit" width="48" height="48">
The topic is 'Embed image in a button element', and the question using plain HTML. I do this using the span tag in the same way that glyphicons are used in bootstrap. My image is 16 x 16px and can be any format.
Here's the plain HTML that answers the question:
<button type="button"><span><img src="images/xxx.png" /></span> Click Me</button>
Try like this format and use "width" attribute to manage the image size, it is simple. JavaScript can be implemented in element too.
<button><img src=""></button>
General Answer:
<button style="background: url('icons/close.png'); background-size:cover"></button>
Since currently selected answer has some issues, posting this answer to save people trouble.
Make sure to give your button the width/height necessary to see your image as well as possible adding a "background-position" attribute to make your image show up as intended.
REACT VERSION:
<button style={{backgroundImage: "url('icons/close.png')"}}></button>
To use Image as button create a button download button image and than open it in paint and note down the top left and right bottom coordinates
`<Img src =" button.jpg" usemap=" #button" >.
<map name = " # button " >.
<area shape ="rect" coords = " Top- left , bottom right "
href = " page you want to open by button" > `
You can use multiple< area> tag to create different button from just one image .
Note : There is one issue with this method that if you try to change the height and width of the image the pixels shift and your button won't work
For that change the button image size externally by photoshop or any other photo editor
That's it you have created your button without java script and with few lines of code
Buttons don't directly support images. Moreover the way you're doing is for links ()
Images are added over buttons using the BACKGROUND-IMAGE property in style
you can also specify the repeats and other properties using tag
For example: a basic image added to a button would have this code:
<button style="background-image:url(myImage.png)">

Implementing a "play video" function on a web site. Each video content item can have a different image. Each of these images will have the same width, but potentially differing heights (they are resized on upload to maintain aspect ratio to meet standard width requirements).
The plan was to display another transparent "play button" image over top of the content image using markup like this:
<div class="media">
<a class="videoLink" href="#" style="background-image: url(http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/beach2.jpg);" >
<img src="PlayButton.png" alt="Click to Play" height="200" width="300" />
</a>
</div>
This is very similar to how channel 9 does it on their home page. This, however, appears to assume any image is of standard height and width. Are there alternative ways of tackling this?
Forgot to mention originally. We have a predefined width that things will fit into, however, each image may have a different height. For example, the same markup needs to be used to support the following images:
W x H
400 x 200
400 X 300
400 X 400
The Play button needs to be centered in each image.
Instead of the inner element being an <img>, you could make it a <div>, styled with the playbutton as the background image, positioned in the center.
<div class="media">
<a class="videoLink" href="#" style="background-image: url(http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/beach2.jpg);" >
<div style='background:url(PlayButton.png) center center;' alt="Click to Play" height="200" width="300" />
</a>
</div>
You'll still need to know the size of the thumbnail image, as you'll still need to supply height and width for the div - since you're displaying the thumbnail as a background image, you won't be able to have the box scale to the right size automatically. But at least now your code can set the values for height and width without worrying about the shape of the play button getting distorted.
(note: the play button as a background image should probably be in a separate stylesheet rather than being declared inline as per my example; I did it like that to demonstrate how it differs from your original code, rather than to show best practice)
Need some your CSS to make sure things work, but this may help you:
.media {
display: table;
}
.media img {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
If not, please add you CSS so I can Fiddle it and make it happen.
I'd do it like this.
<div class="media">
<a class="videoLink" href="#"></a>
<img class="thumbnail" src="http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/beach2.jpg"/>
</div>
Separate the thumbnail image from the link. We want the link to appear on top of the image, and the image to stretch the height of the <div class="media">.
The CSS:
.media {
position: relative;
}
.videoLink {
display: block;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-image: url(PlayButton.png);
background-position: center center;
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
}
