I really need some help with a background on a website. You can see the image here:
Link to image
Now what i want is first of all to have the image placed in the top middle. Then i would like to have something like 10x250px (Width x Height) from the left of the image to be repeated - should a visitors screen resolution be wider than the image it won't seem like the site just stops at the edges.
I've tried several things, but it seems i keep running into different kind of technicalities that I'm not sure how to get around. So I would like to know how you would do it?
(The websites content will be 990px wide if that helps)
But the repeating image on your <body>, and put the other image background on your wrapper <div> (or similar).
Alternatively, you can use CSS3 for multiple background images on the same element. Won't be as compatible though.
Here is a way to accomplish this so that it attempts to center for all screen resolutions so that there is never a bottom scrollbar. bg.gif is your image ang bg_filler.gif is a 20px slice off of the side.
<style>
body
{
background-image: url(bg_filler.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-color: #D1CDCA;
margin: 0px;
}
.backgroundPart
{
height: 300px;
background-image : url(bg.gif);
background-position: top center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="backgroundPart">
</div>
</body>
Here is a sample http://www.wesgrant.com/samples/BackgroundSample/default.html
Something like this style:
<style>
body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
background-image:'repeating_image...';
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}
#wrapper {
width:990px;
background-image:url(http://img852.imageshack.us/img852/4169/testbg01.jpg);
}
</style>
You would want to create two images, one for the body to repeat, and the other being the header that you already have. here is your image in a demo.
take a look at the source code to see how this works

No matter how large the screen resolution is now, the bg repeats.
Good luck

Been writing code for the background of a website. The goals are 1) 100% height of the browser window for the first image 2) image stays centered in window and sides are cut off 3) on the home page there is also two additional images that need to have the same effect. Been trying and writing different code chunks and not getting anywhere. I can get one part which just breaks another. Thank you for any assistnaceCurrent code chunk is as follows:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Background Image</title>
<style>
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
.background {
background: no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="background">
<img src="images/bg.png">
</div>
<div class="background bg2">
<img src="images/bg2.png">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Not sure if I fully understand what your question is but for your image to get the height of the window you need to
.background {
background-image: url(images/bg.png);
height: 100vh;
}
That way the background image will always use the full height of the viewport. Not sure about the rest of the question tho!
If I understand what you are trying to do, there are a few things with your code that is wrong. First I will explain a couple of things and then I'll provide the code that I came up with that works when I tested it. Here goes...
First, in your style element, where you have ".background:", you don't need any of the code that you wrote. The stuff that mentions webkit, moz, etc. is really for stuff that may have cross browser compatibility problems. background-size is not one of those things you would have to worry about with that. The only thing I would put in your "background" class is width and height of 100%.
Second, speaking of width and height, I would include and "html" and "body" element and give them both a width and height of 100%.
Third, you are trying to have your images listed in your html, but you are trying to style them as if you are having your css produce them. Notice how in my html I left the "background" divs empty and then included the url of the photos in the css.
In a nutshell, I believe you may be a little confused as to what method should be used and when/where, because you are actually fusing different approaches together. That said, here is the code I wrote...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Background Image</title>
<style>
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.background {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#bg1 {
background: url(images/bg.png) no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
}
#bg2 {
background: url(images/bg2.pngg) no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="background" id="bg1">
</div>
<div class="background" id="bg2">
</div>
</body>
</html>

Hope all of that helps Zack! :)
I have this CSS style here, but it spans across the whole screen rather than just repeating it within the 960px width of the body.
body
{
width:960px;
margin: 10px auto 10px auto;
background-image:url(logo.png),url(backgroundimage.jpg);
background-position: top center, top center;
background-repeat: no-repeat, repeat-x;
background-attachment: static;
}
logo.png is just an image of a company logo, while backgroundimage.jpg is something I want to span only within the 960px rather than across the whole page. How can I do this?
You will need to make a container class. This class will hold all inner div classes and content.
The code for this will be as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<style>
.container{
width: 960px;
background: url("logo.jpg");
height: 700px;
}
</style>
<body>
<div class="container">
</div>
</body>
</html>
An easier way to do this would be to use bootstrap. The Bootstrap framework provides a .container class premade with custom responsiveness built in.
I would like to make a responsive picture like on this template:
http://livedemo00.template-help.com/wt_57569/
When you zoom out of the page, the picture scales with it. (I'm talking about the one with pipes if I'm not obvious.)
Thanks for the help.
In the example you provides, it seems like background image. So you can style it like below
background-image: url("../images/image_name.jpg");
background-size: cover;
Add this to your CSS:
img .responsive {
max-width:100%;
height: auto;
}
As i see on the example page you need a resizeable "div" background.
Example code: (change image url to yours)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div class="bg">
<h2>Title</h2>
<p>Text</p>
</div>
</body>
<style>
.bg{
background-image: url("83741.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size:100%;
width:100%;
height:300px;
}
</style>
</html>
With "width:100%" you make the div to fit always to the page's width in this case (not perfectly, you should set the margins to zero to achieve perfect fit).
With "background-size:100%" you make a "responsive" background, and the height should be fixed, as we can see in the example you gave.
I need to make a website for a project. How can I make a moving gif as a fullscreen background?
Here is what I've done so far (an example)
HTML
<head>
<title>OFFICIAL SQUIDDINC</title>
<div class="gif-container"></div>
<head>
<html>
CSS
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.gif-container {
background: url("image.gif") center;
background-size: cover;
height: 100%;
}
There's a couple of things gone amiss in this snippet.
For the HTML;
You're missing an opening <html> tag. Albeit this may just be a bad copy paste for the question.
Your <title> is the only thing here that belongs inside the <head> tag.
The rest of your html should be encapsulated within a <body> tag.
<html>
<head>
<title>OFFICIAL SQUIDDINC</title>
<head>
<body>
<div class="gif-container"></div>
</body>
</html>
For the CSS;
You don't need to set a height for the html, body, however you will need to set it for the gif container. I've gone ahead and used the units vh and vw. These mean viewport height and viewport width, respectively. By specifying 100 for each, this will equal exactly the height and width of the browser viewport (screen).
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.gif-container {
background: url("image.gif") no-repeat 0 0;
background-size: cover;
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
}

Hi Please do not bash on me or give me negative vote because I really did spend the time and trying to find the answer. From what I searched, this is what I have. I am trying to make a background image as my body but when I put no repeat on, it just a single tile rather than it stretching. Ive been trying to find a code that will stretch it out but nothing is there. I tried youtube and tried looking on here
this is my code
body{
background-image: url(https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
my HTML
<html>
<body>
<div id="container">
</div>
</body>
</html>

A better approach than using the body element would be to place a div that does this for you.
<head>
<style>
#background{
background-image: url(https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA);
position:fixed;
right:0;left:0;top:0;bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="bacgrkound"></div>
</body>
This will work:
body {
background: url((https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA) no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
body {
background: url((https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQoLWn_NOGkZO2BIkZyQud4OmegjxPMctGAZQAlKSf1DJvmsLyvA) no-repeat;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
}
This will cover your screen.
http://jsbin.com/IJObemU/1/
body{
background: url(image.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
you can remove the fixed when you need to make your background cover bot not on the body element (if you're applying the background on some element that scrolls with the page).
