I have running always into the problem with the responsive images,and i did not find an answer to clarify the problem.
The problem is with image
image {
height:auto;
width:100%;
}
when i add a simple image and style it, it works. when i start a project more complex with a lot of divs and I set the same properties doesn't work anymore. What's the purest explanation for this.
This is because when you add the <img> to the html directly, the browser sets the height of the element to the height of the image you provided (unless otherwise specified). When you add the image as a background of a <div> and set the height to auto, it tries to size the div to the height of the content. However, in this case, there is no content -- only a background that will be the background once the div has some height. An empty div has no height. Therefore, if you want the image to be the background of the <div>, it must either contain some content, or have its height set manually.

I'm using centered imgs to act as backgrounds for some tiles. I'm trying to have these images scale with their parent div's height and if they are wider then their parent's for them to hide the overflow.
Example:
* I've got it working now. Answers are below, I'm updating this code to display all I needed to use to get it to work *
HTML
<div class="container">
<img class="derp" src="http://gridiculo.us/images/kitty02.jpg">
</div>
CSS:
.container {
height:250px;
width:50%;
}
.derp{
object-fit: cover;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
Here's a near-example: http://codepen.io/chriscoyier/pen/myPMGB
The difference would be that I'm using s and not background-image, and that instead of the img filling the div completely it would fit to the height and hide the width overflow.
I'm trying to avoid using background-image since I'm using a lot of these tiles and making CSS rules for every one isn't going to work.
In order to scale it with the div's height, I'd change the height from px to % - this way, the larger's the div, the larger's the picture. In order to certain the image, i'd use margin in the image css. That'd look like so:
.derp{
height:80%;
width:80%;
margin:10%;
}
.container {
height:250px;
width:50%; /* needed */
/* inner img is centered horizontally */
vertical-align:top;
text-align:center;
overflow-x:hidden;
}
<div class="container" style="background-color:gray"> <!-- The background is there so you could see the image relative to the div -->
<img class="derp" src="http://gridiculo.us/images/kitty02.jpg">
</div>
The best way to keep the aspect ratio of the image is to set the width to auto (and it's the default behavior so you don't need to set explicitly). And with a simple overflow:hidden it works almost as you want it.
The hard part is centering horizontally. You can try this answer :css to center a image horizontally.
However if all your images aren't the same size, you will need to make one rule per image. And in this case putting the image as background-img would be better for semantic and accessibility (because your image doesn't have a sense in the page, it doesn't convey any information, it's decoration). An <img> would be read by a screen reader (the alt attribute), and in your case it wouldn't help a blind people.
Depending on how many browsers you need to support, I'd suggest you use object-fit! Support for it is okay if you can ignore IE, but in case your project qualifies, I see no problem with using it today. Also, there is always a polyfill.
You can find a nice summary on CSS-Tricks.com about the property. It basically works similarly to background-size, but for <img> tags. In your case, object-fit: cover; does the trick.
I made a little demo on CodePen that shows you how it works.
img {
height: 100%;
object-fit: fill;
width: 100%;
}
In css when i give my div height a percentage value the div completely disappears, heres what im doing
<html>
...
...
<div id="logcontainer">
<div><div>
<div></div>
</div>
this is not the actual html but it sums up what im trying to do, heres my CSS
#logcontainer {
width:100%;
min-height:100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #7f7f7f;
}
whenever the height has a percentage value the div disappears, the width works but no height?, when I use ems or rem it works perfectly, any ideas?
I think all you need is html, body { height: 100% }, if i'm understanding your question correct
Set height of body 100%, then it will work. Since you need to set a 100% height on your parent element, in this case your body. The div tag is a container, but it is contained in the body tag... the body tag, unfortunately is not treated the same on all browsers... in some it is sized to fit the browser's available space... in some browsers the body tag is sized to fit the minimum height required to fit the current contents.... So a div tag set to 100% would size differently on each...in fact if empty, the div tag might not even show up on some browsers, since an empty body would be, potentially, 0px high...
html, body
{
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
Here is the solution :
html, body { height: 100%; }
but it just a solution you need to understand why is happened , this happened because your element is a block level element which wrap up your whole content width and height width as a 100%
but this is not the case with height you need to specify the related to content to give a height in percentages like as above body has given 100%
enter link description here
My css:
a.red, object, embed {
display: inline-block;
background-image:url(/bowties/red.png);
background-size: contain;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width: 100%;
height: 30%;
}
My Html:
<a class="red"/>
What I want to do is have the image automatically sized right so I can use these as menu items. One on top of the next and so on. If I kept them in an image tag wrapped in an anchor then "height: auto;" works. I want to turn them into sprites which is why I am pulling it out, but I would like these to scale based on the size of the screen. Thanks in advance!
From my understanding this is not possible.
I found a resource that simply had me add a relatively sized 'filler' image. A blank placeholder that caused the div to get a height and width, then be able to be re-sized on the container re-size. Slight bit of a hack, but worked.
I've been working on a website with a pretty standard layout, header, content, footer, each being a DIV with a 900px width inside of a page-wide DIV, just like the one described in this question:
Full width background, without a wrapper
Now the problem itself is that whenever the browser window becomes less wide than the specified DIV width (900px) the background of the wrapper seems to disappear, showing the background color of the website itself. This also happens while using the code in the aforementioned question.
This is the CSS code:
#headerwrapper {
height: 229px;
background: url(imagenes/header.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;}
#header {
width:900px;
height:229px;
padding:0px;
margin:0 auto;
}
And this one is the HTML code:
<div id="headerwrapper">
<div id="header">
Content goes here.
</div>
</div>
Any suggestions are appreciated.
you probably can't see the background in the scrollarea. You need to set min-width: 900px; or max-width: 900px; so that the background will be shown in the scrollarea.
If you do not specify width for the #headerwrapper, browser makes it 100% of parent container (div or body). So if width of view area is less than 900px - #header becomes wider than #headerwrapper, so background is not showed for overlapped part. You may add overflow:auto; to #headerwrapper so scrollbars will appear, but i do not think that is a solution. So it is better to add background for the #header or add min-width for #headerwrapper.
P.S. Specifying
min-width:900px;
width:auto !important;
for #headerwrapper should do the trick.

in this demo page i have 2 problems:
1) My footer (I followed those guidelines http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/) is causing a scrollbar to appear on Firefox only, and I can't understand the reason
2) div#containerTop is used by the footer css and it fits the whole page height
min-height: 100%; height: auto !important; height:100%
the problem is that I would like to have div#rightContainer with a certain height, i would like it to stretch for almost the whole page, (leaving some pixel between it and the footer). Obviously i tried with height in % and it didn't work.
I tried some CSS i found around but those didnt work too, probably because div#rightContainer is already inside a div container using itself a css height trick.
What can I do without recurring to javascript?
if you want to use % as height you have to put that in every parent element:
<body style="height: 100%;">
<div style="height: 100%;"></div>
</body>
maybe you could set the container absolute, but that not really a proper coding style.
First set div's parent height and width to 100% and set overflow in html tag to hidden as:
html{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
body{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
and then set your div's width and height accordingly......
Here overflow property does the task. If now body exceeds the width/height of actual window size then reduce the size of body tag accordingly.
But this will surely remove the scrollbars.
It worked for me.
