I went to my friend's house to see how my webpage displays on other resolutions, but found that the background image didn't reach the sides. So, I went home and did some research and was told that instead of having my background image in the body tag, I should create a div inside of the body tag before the container div and it would work.
This did work for one of my designs but not in the other - the code was exactly the same, but the images weren't.
I tried adding position:absolute in my CSS and it does show, but it has a strange white border along the top and left hand side.
How can I resolve this issue?
HTML:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div class="background">
</div>
<div class="container">
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
body{
text-align:center;
}
.background{
background:url('images/background.png')no-repeat;
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-position:center;
}
Not quite enough information to really give you a good answer... but the white line on the top and left of the page sound like the natural margin appended to the body tag. If you add this to your css it should remove that:
body {
margin: 0px;
}
Also, the background image "reaching the sides" will be primarily dependent on the image's dimensions relative to the viewing screen resolution and browser size. These factors are out of your control so be cautious where you're using an image in the background of your designs.

I have an SVG image that I am trying to use in my page that I would like to stretch with page. The same CSS that works with non-SVG images doesn't work for the SVG. As seen in the quick fiddle here -> http://jsfiddle.net/TUby3/
My HTML
<img src="image.svg" id="topHeader">
My CSS
#topHeader {
width: calc(85% + 10px);
height: 46px;
}
I've been trying different things in my CSS but can't seem to get anything to work. When I make the page smaller, the width of the image does get smaller but the height does not stay fixed, the height shrinks in uniform with the width.
Does anyone know a solution to this that does not involve trading the SVG for a PNG or JPEG?
Try this:
http://jsfiddle.net/TUby3/1/
Just put a div with a set height around it.
html
<div id="test">
Your Image
</div>
css
#test{
height:"60px;
}
You could probably achieve the same effect you are after by setting it as a background image to a div and using the background-size css...
background:url(http://www.adobe.com/inspire-apps/exporting-svg-illustrator-0913/fig14/img/napoleon%20for%20svg%201.svg) left top no-repeat;
background-size:100% 100%;
(That said, Mark's solution works fine for me in Chrome)
I am using a background image for my top "heading" div section of my website. It was drawn on CorelDrawX6 and exported to a .jpg image, meaning I can't set the height and width exactly right when exporting. What I want to achieve is have the webpage scale the background image to the right height. I want to have height:150px; width:100%, but because it is applied to the div like this:
<div style = "height:150px;background-image:url('Design.jpg');">
I can't apply styling directly to the image. Does anyone have a solution?
P.S. I have checked out many of the "related questions" and have not found an answer. Also, please bear in mind I want a background image for one div, not the whole page (which would be a lot easier).
Current situation:
My desired situation is to have the full image as a background (the current image is a scaled-up version, the real image (which I could not upload) looks the same but has text on, and the light blue bar is much smaller).
try
HTML
<div class="lorem" alt="lipsum" title="lorem lipsum">
<img class=ImgLorem></img>
</div>
CSS
.lorem{
}
.ImgLorem{
}
.lorem img{
background: url(Design.jpg);
height:150px;
width:100%;
}
this should work.
Let me know.
This is what you looking for?
background-size: auto 150px;
Just ran into a problem with repeating background image.
In the case when the content is very short, shorter than the monitor height, the background image is still repeating for the extra space.
Please refer to the screenshot.
Orange bar is my footer. The bottom grey area is the extra space.
Can I make stop the background image repeating for the bottom area?
I mean ideally the background image just repeats as long as my content.
Any help will be appreciated.
.
You can use the below property.
background-repeat:no-repeat;
For more information go through this site
You can also give repeat-y or repeat-x to make the background-image repeat vertically or horizontally respectively.
If you want to give dimensions to your background image then you can use
background-size:100px 100px; /* width height */
I think this is what you mean.
Rather than sticking the background onto the body, slap another div in there and put the background onto that. The inner content will push the div to the right height and will stop at that point (unless otherwise stated).
eg:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<div id="background">
Your inner content
</div>
</body>
</html>
and put your repeating background onto #background in your css rather than your body.
you can set your background directly in CSS making like so:
body {
background: url(../images/background.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Hope this helps :D
It would be good if you could post your code here.
Try something like this:
<div>
<div>
<div style="float:left;"></div>
<div style="float:left;"></div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
<div class="footer"></div>
</div>
Try this in the style section.
background-size: cover;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
I am trying to use CSS and HTML to insert an image into a webpage.
I have the following on CSS:
#eDTP {
background-image: url(eDTP.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
padding-top:475px;
}
and in my HTML, I have:
<div id="maintext">
<p> my page </p>
</div>
<div id="eDTP"></div>
Although this works, I have a big white space on the top and bottom of the images, which I do not want. I tried adjusting the padding values, but that does not seem to really help.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction to get rid of these white spaces?
I would remove the padding top. That should eliminate the problem. I'm not sure why you would need such a high amount of padding between them.
EDIT - Just read that you say the padding hasn't helped you. Any chance of a link to the url? Or a live example somewhere to see the issue in more detail?
Make sure that the line-height of the figure or surrounding element is set to line-height:1;
The only size that you have specified is the padding. The size of a background image doesn't affect the size of the element. You should remove the padding, and specify width and height for the element so that it's the same size as the image.
Unfortenately there is no way to do that in HTML/CSS. Only way of doing this is inserting the values on your server or client-side by javascript. You should really do it with <img> tags inside your <div> element like so.
Make sure you point to the right location of the image you want to show relevent to folder where it is being called.

Here you try to show an image as a background for a div. Is there really strong reason not to use html like above?
<div id="maintext">
<p> my page </p>
</div>
<div id="eDTP">
<img src="eDTP.png">
</div>
If so, you need to specify the dimentions of your di, 'cause it doesn't auto fit the background size (no surprise here, I think).
Try
#eDTP {
background-image: url(eDTP.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
width: 120px; //background image width here
height: 150px; // and height here
}
Your biggest problem is width and height. Also, how do you want this image displayed? Do you want it below the text, on the side of the text, etc? In modern browsers, a div is fully collapsed, and its height is equal to 0. Its width, by default, is 100%. IE7 and older does not work this way for the height.
You need to specify, not padding, but width and height for your div container, eDTP, that is, if you wish to have the background image added via CSS. If you wish to have an image populate eDTP using the img tag, then you do not have to specify the height.
By the way, the reason you see your image with the padding is based on something called the box model. Padding extends the visible region of background color, a background image, and others. The padding you have is functioning like you have a height assigned to its container. But as I said before, this is a very bad way to do this. Add this to your eDTP declaration:
#eDTP {
background: url(eDTP.png) no-repeat center;
width:500px; /* Change this value to the width of your image */
height:475px;/* I assume this is the height of your image */
}
Image explanation: http://img219.imageshack.us/f/skrmavbild20110321kl160.png/
I have a background-image that I want on the top of my page, this image is width 800px and height 400px.
Under this image I want another background-image which will repeat vertical (repeat-y) for the rest of the page.
I have tried the following
<div id="bg-static">
<div id="bg-repeat-y">
<div>
Text goes here
</div>
</div>
</div>
The thing is that I want "The text goes here" to float over both element. (See picture, http://img219.imageshack.us/f/skrmavbild20110321kl160.png/)
What should I do to do this?
You are making this seem too complicated, but it's extremely easy.
This is what you need to do:
Your "infinite, repeated" image will go as a site background, like this:
body{ background: url("your-repeated-image.png"); }
Next, create a html like this:
<body>
<div id="container">
any content, text, whatever goes here
</div>
</body>
And just put your 800x400px image there like this:
#container{ width: 800px; background: url("your-top-image.png") no-repeat; }
While testing it, temporarily use this:
#container{ height: 600px; } /* erase after the content is ready */
I think the solution would be the other way around: have the repeating background on the outside div and the fixed height background on the inside div.
