Header Image stops repeating when window is resized - html

So i have an image in stuck to the top of my page that repeats all the way across the top. For some reason when I resize the window and then scroll over to the right it stops repeating. The div is the first in the document outside of the wrapper. Any ideas?
#header {
background-image:url('http://daveywhitney.com/img/paperhead.png');
background-repeat: repeat-x;
width: 100%;
height: 145px;
margin:0 0 20px 0;
}

This seems to work fine in FireFox. Check the width of the parent element when you resize the window.

The available benchmarks as set by your code are:-
width - 100% (so full width of the image is taken into consideration)
"background repeat - x" - Image will repeat horizontally
Internally, say the width of the image be 250px & the width of your full browser screen be 1024px. So technically, the image will repeat horizontally at least 5 times, with 4 times in full size & the last one will be shown a little bit.
Now, if you resize the browser or view the same web page in a pop-up window, your browser screen is bound to have its width modified. Let's say that now your browser screen width is 220px. As the image width is greater than the browser screen width (in this particular test case), so the image will not repeat at all, & you will also not be able to see the full image.
It's not that there is any bug, it's just the logical part, which we need to understand.
Hope it helps.

It's hard to tell from the details you have provided but here is a answer that might do the trick. Add the following
#header {
background-image:url('http://daveywhitney.com/img/paperhead.png');
background-repeat: repeat-x;
width: 100%;
height: 145px;
margin:0 0 20px 0;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative}
#wrapper {width:960px;margin:0 auto;position:relative}

You need to add a min-width to be slightly larger than your main content.

Responsive image resize and selectively crop it's width with a set of rules

I want a background image to appear at the top part and fully cover the width of a page. As you can see, the image is quite wide and short - https://i.imgur.com/aJb6eBr.jpg. This should be the header image of a page, with the contents of the page appearing below it.
If the browser's width is bigger than the image's original width, the image's width and height should be enlarged proportionally (together with its container - thus pushing downwards the page's contents that appear under the image).
If the browser's width is smaller than the image's original width, the image should retain its original size without shrinking, and be cropped from both sides until a 15% crop is reached from each side (You can see that the image has quite wide green areas on both sides which are safe for cropping).
The tricky part is that once 15% of the crop has been reached from each side, I want the image to start shrinking proportionally to the browser's width, thus the middle 70% of the image will always be seen, and the image will never be cropped more than 15% from each side.
The height of the image (and it's container) should rescale automatically in proportion with the image's width. If the image's height (together with its container) shrinks to be smaller than it's original size, the page's contents are pushed up so the distance between the page's contents and the image is always kept the same.
I'm looking for a clean solution (preferably with CSS only) similar to this:
https://demodern.de/projekte/mediengruppe-rtl
Any ideas guys?
In terms of using CSS it is pretty simple to make everything work as you need. In order to do this you might use the image as it is via and the same image on a parent element's background. But you will have to adjust your CSS to work with this image ONLY. In case if you will try to use another image - you will have to adjust paddings or mediaqueries. Solution that works a kind of ONE time for a specific image, but still, it doesn't use JS at all, which is great. And regarding referencing the image twice - it is not a problem for a browser. It will make only one http request for a single unique media asset so no performance problems from this perspective.
Here is a way how you might do what you want:
.wrapper {
background: url(/images/_m1NuVvd.jpeg) 50% 50% no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
padding-top: 38%;
}
.wrapper img {
transform: translateX(-50%);
left: 50%;
position: relative;
min-width: 100%;
display:none;
}
#media screen and (min-width: 1338px) {
.wrapper {
padding-top: 0;
}
.wrapper img {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
}
<div class="wrapper">
<img src="/images/_m1NuVvd.jpeg" />
</div>
Make sure to use a proper path to your image instead of /images/_m1NuVvd.jpeg.
BTW, in future it will be better to probide links to the images in a way, so those might be reused in jsfiddle. Dropbox doesn't allow to use the image via that link.
Best wishes

Background disappears with scroll bar. Why?

Here's what I have: 800px width div's inside a 100% width container with a background image repeating horizontally.
Live: http://www.baskra.com
When I resize the browser window, a scroll bar is generated. When I scroll it, I see that the background image is only applied to the original unscrolled region, as seen above.
How can I solve this problem?
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/wcdXK (Not every image is working, but I believe the most important here is the CSS.)
You should replace the "width: 100%" from .pages-container CSS class with a "min-width: 800px" – it will force background to be the same width as the container if the window size becomes less than 800px.
.pages-container {
background-attachment: scroll;
background-image: url('http://baskra.com/images/bg/bg-scroll.png');
background-repeat: repeat;
min-width: 800px;
left: 0;
}
Check it here : http://jsfiddle.net/wcdXK/3/
Because the width applies to the area of the containing block, as the overall container is smaller the background shrinks to apply to the same area (along with the pages-container element).
I noticed you are experiencing many problems on your layout (you posted a similar question)

Responsive image max height 100% doesnt work in firefox

i'm currently trying to make an image resize depending on the browser dimensions. I've managed to get the image to resize horizontally, if I make the browser window narrow the image will resize proportionally just fine. However when I resize the window vertically, Firefox just doesn't seem to want to do it! The code is pretty simple
<body>
<div id="content">
<img src="images/abc.jpg">
</div>
</body>
and the CSS:
#content {
height: 100%;
padding: 50px;
}
#content img{
max-height:100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
Another issue is that the image does seem to resize vertically in chrome, but i have to drag the bottom of the browser well over the image before it start doing this. I'd rather the image start to rezise as soon as the bottom content padding "hits" the bottom of the image so to speak. Hope this is making sense.
Any help much appreciated
try this, taken from Twitter bootstrap 2
html,body{height:100%;}
#content {padding: 5%;}
#content img {
max-height: 100%;/* Part 1: Set a maxium relative to the parent */
width: auto\9;
/* IE7-8 need help adjusting responsive images */
max-width: auto;
/* Part 2: Scale the height according to the width, otherwise you get stretching */
vertical-align: middle;
border: 0;
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
}
Because height could potentially go on forever, you cant set the height of anything relative to the browser window to be a function of percent. What i'm saying is that you will need to put it inside of something with a fixed height to use a per-cent value. Good Luck!

You've only specified the "max-height" and "max-width" properties.
If you don't specify the actual "width" or "height" properties, the image initialy takes the width and height of its physical dimensions (if not larger than the specified max-height and max-width).
Said that, the behaviour you've noticed, is correct.
The answer is, as already mentioned, to specify also a initial width or height property, dependig wether your image is portrait or landscape.
Is that what you want?
I actually just added a height to html and body, so that #contents height doesn't get to high.
body, html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
(And box-sizing: border-box to #content, because it seems like you'd want that)

setting an image as a footer background in CSS

So I'm looking to add a footer to my page but I want it to be a background-image that is automatically resized depending on the monitor resolution and have it with a 100% width and height but to never overflow to the sides, so I don't want scrollbars to appear. The image is .jpg.
Would appreciate some input as to what is the best way to go around this
Use the following CSS
​div {
width: 100%;
height: 400px;
background-image: url(your-path-here.jpg);
background-size: 100% 100%;
}​
And see this live example
Be careful, if you don't resize the height of your footer as well, that will stretch the image.
background-size will do the trick, but note that it' not supported by IE8 and older. Just to be on the safe side for these browsers, the image could be positioned in the center (that means at 50% horizontally and 50% vertically - of course, the center keyword also works)

How to position a div to be visible but not count towards document width

Today I came across a very nasty problem, I need to make the front-end layout for a website and it has a certain design element on the page that puzzled (even) me.
Now I am not exactly unfamiliar with html, css positioning, making layouts etc, so please don't make 'guesses' as to how I could solve it. I want a working example.
Here is a jsfiddle with my code and problem:
http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/A9vzA/ http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/A9vzA/15/
What is currently happening;
The #container has a min-height of 100% (red background) width of 970px. This is the width the page must have as a minimum. The #top (lightbrown background) div is irrelevant for the problem but part of the design.
The problem lies in #header (purple background) which currently has a width of 1022px (too wide for 1024px resolution + a scrollbar, even with a maximized window) and a negative left margin to keep it centered on the container, which is what needs to happen. When the width of the screen width falls below 1022px a horizontal scrollbar apears as the thinnest element on the page is 1022px wide. (its behaviour is the same with position absolute and a negative left offset)
What I want to have happening;
I want the 'overflow' of #header over #container to dissapear into the sides and only get a scroll bar as the viewport gets below 970px wide. (If someone can rephrase this )
Let me be a little bit clearer on this:
The 100% height layout needs to stay and be compatible with IE7+
The header needs to be centered over the container, this is the reason it is inside it in my example but be my guest to take it out if that solves the problem.
My example looks and acts correct as long as the viewport is large enough to accomedate the header.
The trick is to make it look and act the same while the sides of header overflow into the sides of the viewport when the viewport is too slim to fit that header.
Updated the example to make the change / centring a bit more obvious.
If possible I want the layout to support all the way down to IE6 though IE7+ will be fine. The final page will prompt to install Chrome Frame anyway. And ofcourse don't forget about Chrome, FF 3.5+.. (Opera?). Use of JS will not be acceptable, unless you can convince me that there is absolutely no other way, but jQuery will be present on the page.
Thank you for at least trying! (Challenge yourself! :D)
This code worked for me in FF/Chrome/Safari/Opera. Can't test in IE because I'm on Mac now, but must work in IE 7+
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/XVraD/3/
Base idea is to wrap #header in another container with "width: 100%; min-width: 970px;" and place in outside of #container, so it will do all the overflow to you.
EDIT 2: Solution that works in IE6: http://jsfiddle.net/XVraD/9/
EDIT 3: This version is fixed to have height 100% in modern browsers and old IE's: http://jsfiddle.net/XVraD/9/
It is a hard one, the only real solution I can come up with is this that you use Media queries like this:
#media all and (min-width: 970px) {
body, html {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
}
It is not supported by old browsers, there you would need a Javascript!
As far as I can tell, the best solution would be to restructure your HTML to put your header outside of the container.
<div class="outer">
<div class="header">
...
</div>
<div class="container">
...
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.outer { ... }
.header {
max-width: 1022px;
min-width: 970px;
margin: 0 auto; }
.container {
width: 970px;
margin: 0 auto; }
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Wexcode/tJXHF/
http://jsfiddle.net/QrVJJ/
#header is positioned outside and above (with z-index) #top. It also gets margin: 0 auto; and the background is positioned top center with min-width:970px and max-width:1022px.
#header {
margin: 0 auto;
z-index:5;
min-width: 970px;
max-width: 1022px;
height: 201px;
background: #390419;
overflow:hidden;
background: transparent url(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rScBRKlTdoE/TC6rNWAyD9I/AAAAAAABOTo/BWkJH9ymovo/s1600/IMG_9692.jpg) no-repeat top center;
}
How about setting the header to have a min-width of 970px and a max-width of 1022px? There are ie hacks to make min and max width work. This would make make scrollbars appear after the viewport shrinks to below 970 and as you stretch the viewport the header would grow up until 1022 after which it would stay 1022.
Having this one in Chrome.
http://jsfiddle.net/A9vzA/10/
Put an inner div inside the #header
The header has position relative and no float and with 970px
The inner div has position fixed and width 1022px and margin 0 -26px
--edit
but doesnot work in IE7
--edit
this works in IE7, too http://jsfiddle.net/A9vzA/11/ just add another inner div
The first inner div is position fixed and width 100% and text-align center
The second inner div is margin 0 auto and width 1022px
Can anyone test it in IE6
--edit
nope doesnot work if you got content in your #container. position fixed is no option

(I've not yet made it cross-browser, only tested it in Chrome. What to ensure I have the idea right first.)
sg3s, you sound like a tough customer but I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring. None of us understands exactly what you need so please post the flattened design.
My assumption is that you need one or two layers with adjustable width behind a fixed 960px content container. Using float on adjustable width containers is going to make it nearly impossible to do what you want. Instead, use postion: absolute for a container holder (a.k.a. wrapper) and position: relative for the inner content containers. No Javascript is necessary.
My recommendation is removing #header from the primary #content container and separating the background image from the #header so they can be rendered and positioned independently.
