How do I display multiple images onto one images in HTML - html

I want to use HTML and display one large image.
On this large image I then wish to display multiple smaller images, all on different places and sizes.
I would prefer doing this using HTML only.
But, if this is not possible, Javascript or something like that is also an option... :-)
If anybody has any idea using PHP, that would also be great.
I have search the web and StackOverflow, and tried MANY possible solutions, but none of them allowed me to display one big image, and then display multiple other images on top of this big image.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Michael

you can use a container div which will contain all the smaller images. You can set background of that particular div.
your html as
<div id="container">
</div>
and css as follows:
div#container{
background-image: url("image.jpg");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
height:100%;
}

Two alternatives:
defining the big image in as background using CSS, then you can put onto it whatever html markup you want to. Such backgorund can also be declared for elements like divs, not only for the whole page.
use absolut positioning inside your style definition. That way you can add big and small images to your markup and then position them on top of each other.
No javascript required for this and php has nothing to do with this.

You can position them as I have done in this JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/xxUpk/
The top:-NNNpx is crude, you could use float and many other ways of positioning them. Also look into z-index to layer them.

you cannot overlay an image over another image in pure HTML only, but what you CAN do is re-locate a image's position onto another tag and just move it accordingly with css.

Is it possible to tile multiple different background images?

Using css3/html5 only, I am trying to have separate and distinct background images line up side by side, not overlaying each other.
In essence I would love to get multiple separate and distinct background images to behave exactly how the tiling of a single background image behaves.
I also would like to achieve this without setting any fixed or specific positions, simply each background image dropped in respects the size of the background image next to it, butts up against it, and so on and so on.
So background images tiling across an element/container as normal, except each individual background image in the tiling can be unique.
Any ideas?
Here is how I understand your question:
I have a few image files
I want to display them side by side
I have one div and I do not want to (or can not) change the HTML I have
" Using CSS3, can
I display those images side by side as backgrounds of my div?"
If this is your question, the answer is no, not as of now. Sorry.
According to this standard specification,
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-background-20020802/#properties4
there is no position value to place background images "after previous" or "floating".
More info on multiple backgrounds and background sizing:

You will probably want to look into positionning your gallery, a div containing your img elements as absolute. If you place it before your div, it will appear behind the div and make one img element per image file.
<div style="position:absolute;">
<img src="image1.png">
<img src="image2.png">
<img src="image3.png">
</div>
<div>the div to be backgrounded</div>
foreach img that you want to use in your "background", create a div, and then use the css background-image property to display the image within the borders of the div. in other words, don't put the img tags in the html, link to their source in your css.
without positioning, you will be limited to adding any "foreground" content to the divs with the background images
based on the way you worded your question, this might end up being very time consuming and frustrating for you. maybe consider a different technique with code you can understand? if you start with the basics and learn them thoroughly, the creative techniques will reveal themselves

How to make a background image stays in the botton and cover the full height

How can I make all my pages have the same background feeling as my homepage. For example if you see this page you can see the background is out of place. Let me know if you want me to send you the code but pretty much you can see it at these pages. Thanks a lot!
PS: Any other way besides using position fixed?
Try a different approach... Instead of using 2 different gradients in two different div's (#hhbg and #footer), just combine the two gradients into one image and apply it as a background to, for example, body. Then use background-position to anchor the image to the bottom corner and repeat it horizontally.

Using div's to pad a webpage

I am trying to use a div to push the contents of a webpage down by 150px (the space will be used for a header image later that I don't yet have).
However because the div is blank or empty, browsers are in effect, ignoring it.
The html:
<body>
<div id="header_block"></div>
.... rest of document....
The CSS:
#header_block{width:100%;height:150px;min-height:150px}
The rest of the document works fine, but, even when I get the header graphic, its going to be applied as a background image.
Is there any way to stop the browser from ignoring this header_block because it thinks its empty?
What you want to do is give the main <div> a margin-top:150px ; that will push it 150px down from it's position in the flow then you should be good to go insofar as making your background image appear.
you can use trans.gif (a blank small image) using width and height according to your need. Then proper space will set.

Try this:
#header_block{width:100%; border:1px solid;height:150px;min-height:150px}
So that you will get a look for header_block.
Divs don't hide if you've set their height explicitly via CSS. If it is hiding you've got other problems, likely due to a typo or incorrectly linking a stylesheet.
If you need a placeholder image, I use http://placehold.it/ which I find very convenient.
I have no affiliation with placehold.it
Something like https://placehold.it/300x100 gets you:

Is there a way to make HTML text flow around images - regarding transparency?

On an HTML page, you can make text flow around images with the CSS property "float". But this will only consider the image's rectangle, not transparent regions in the image. I now have an image that has large areas of full transparency, like for example a circular logo, and would like the text to flow around the circle contour of that logo, not the bounding rectangle. At least on the text-facing side of the image.
I know that CSS is probably not suitable for that task. But is there some workaround, like hidden divs or something that can achieve the same (or a similar) effect? Has somebody already seen such a thing?
I have written a PHP function for that now. It takes the PNG image and generates the <div> elements to make the text flow around another form than the image's rectangle. You can find the code here:
https://unclassified.software/source/shaped-image-flow
Update 2020/2021:
Now there is a CSS property for that: shape-outside. It can be given an image with transparency that will determine the outside shape to let the text flow around. If the visible image is already a PNG, the same image can be used for this CSS property. Additional margin can be added with shape-margin. Both are supported by anything except IE.
Example:
<img src="img/shape.png" style="shape-outside: url(img/shape.png); shape-margin: 1.5em;">
I really doubt you can do that easily without making a big mess, of tags, JavaScript or both. One way i can think is placing image on larger zindex and positioning div or divs behind it, and text would flow around them. It would be easiest to use smaller rectangle that excludes transparent areas. But then why not just crop/clip the image? Or you can try floating line height divs behind it, but I guess that it will get quite ugly pretty fast. Or you could try placing each line of text in span/div and positioning them manually or with js by calculating approximate shapes to those that are in the image. One other idea, of which I'm not sure: it might be possible do this using svg. But quick search does not show much promise ether.
Any way one more thing to consider, when doing something as experimental and complicated as this, in whatever way you do this, it will most likely be huge pain to make it work well across most browsers.
There is a css property that do just what you want
shape-outside include values of shapes you can use.

HTML image display

I have an html file where i am loading images from an xml file in to it. i am using jtemplate for that. I am getting the images properly.but i want to display them horizontaly those are coming as vertical. Please help me to do that,This is the sample.
<img …><img …><img …>
By default, images are inline. They will appear in a horizontal row (subject to word wrapping) unless you add additional markup or styling to make it otherwise.
You can't rotate images in HTML or with javascript. You need to use some serverside programming language as PHP to crop or rotate image.
Make sure that the sum of widths of your images is less than the width of the container.
