Background image not working at all - css

I have been researching for a while to how to get my background image to work on different screen resolutions. After many failed attempts I noticed I can't even get a normal css background in. It's not the file, I have tried different formats.
Code for the different screen resolutions:
html {
background: url('background.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: contain;
-moz-background-size: contain;
-o-background-size: contain;
background-size: contain;
}
The code the normal background:
body {
background-image: url('Background.jpg');
}

That is strange. Did you check that the path to your image is correct? For example if the image is inside an "example" folder, the path should be "example/myImage.png".
As for a responsive background, I believe you are on the right track, although a simple background-size: 100%; would have been enough. Check this Jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/a0mvnj63/
Also try using an external image, like in my example, just in case.

Try to use your code like this background-image:url('../background.jpg'); with height: 100vh;
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
height: 100vh;
background-image: url(http://static.tumblr.com/295a1562899724d920b2b65ba33ffb76/vouqyzj/f2Dna5qb8/tumblr_static_197ahk99f1z44ogskg4gw4c80.jpg);
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-position: center;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
}
<body>
<h1>Hello Universe</h1>
</body>

only background elements does not give height and width to any div or html.
try giving some height and width to your code. just like
html { background: url('background.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed; height:500px; width:500px; }
or just put some data on body so you get auto height width according to contain and get image in background.

Fully display background image

I'm setting up a site, and want to create a responsive background image but I'm getting only single line with background image. What property should i need to use to make the entire background image to fit?
I created 2 files,
index.html :
<div id="logo">Test</div>
style.css :
#logo {
background-image: url("bg.png");
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
I tried many times but only single line gets background image. I want the background image to be fully displayed on screen without using height property which i think makes site less responsive.
you should change the height of logo div and set it as full height by adding height:100% for the body and logo div, your code should look like below code
html, body
{
height: 100%;
}
#logo {
background-image: url("bg.png");
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
height:100%;
}
If you want the image to have the same height as the screen you can use height:100vh. But if you want only the image full size you can do this like this :
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#image{
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
#text{
position: absolute;
color: white;
top: 0
}

CSS Image Resizing for subreddit theme

I am currently trying to use a subreddit theme and resize an image to be bigger/actual size of uploaded image.
Current code for the Logo is:
/* SUBEDDIT LOGO ADDON
----------------------*/
#header .pagename a {
width: 100px;
background: url(%%subredditlogo%%) left center/auto 50px
}
I am trying to scale image to be bigger with keeping aspect ratio.
Like I said this is on Reddit, so I can only interact with the subreddit stylesheet.
I have edited it some and played with it, I have gotten improvements, but not the full image to show.
Here is my current code:
/* SUBEDDIT LOGO ADDON
----------------------*/
#header .pagename a {
width: 300px;
background: url(%%subredditlogo%%) left center/auto 300px;
background-size:100% 200%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
It has resized the width but I cant get the height to change. I have tired the:
left center/auto 300px;
but nothing, and also the
height: 100%;
height: auto;
Just looking to get it fixed now.
Try this:
background-image: url(%%subredditlogo%%);
background-position: left center;
background-size:cover;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
I believe you need to break out your "background" css into individual attributes in order for each attribute to work properly.
You could try this:
background: url(logopath) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
#header .pagename a img{
width:100%;
height:auto;
}
Try this for auto resize img.

how to set div on the body background image

!my present design**i have designed a website like this.
**
it is working fine for my screen resolution. the bottom div is half way up on the background image and half way down from the background image. my problem is when i test this for higher resolution screen it is not looking the same. the image is moving down. this is my css
body
{
background: #ffffff url(../images/11.jpg) no-repeat center top 0%;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
background-size: 100% 75%;
font-family: Arial;
}
the bottom div css
.banner {
width: 100%;
min-height: 300px;
height: 100%;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
how to set this same for all screen sizes.
You say the image is moving down, do you mean when you scroll the image moves but you want it static? If so you could add background-attachment:fixed; to the body's CSS.
That's because the proportion of the image doesn't let the image fit the whole screen.
set the
body {
...
width : 100%;
height : 100%;
}

How can I set the backround image height without cutting the image, just like responsive images?

I have applied set background-image on one of my <div> with the following properties below:
.mydiv-left {
background: url(path to image) no-repeat center center fixed;
height:auto; // also tried with 100%
background-size:auto // also tried with "100%" and "100% 100%" as well as "cover"
}
This result is no image display, but when I set the height to this image, it cuts off the image. As image is of high resolution and I want it to fit in the smaller area of my div without removing any part/information.
Keep in mind that background image is dynamic and keep on changing for other divs within the loop.
Try this
CSS
.mydiv-left {
background-image: url(path to image);
height:(in px);
width: (in px);
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-repeat: no repeat;
background-position: center center;
}
If you post the entire code it is easy to find solution.
<div> without content/ height will result in 0 height. I guess that's why you can't see your image.
Give your <div> a size, and background-size should do its work.
http://jsfiddle.net/LsdDE/
.d1, .d2 {
border: 1px solid grey;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: url(https://www.google.com.tw/images/srpr/logo11w.png);
}
.d1 {
background-size: auto 200px;
}
.d2 {
background-size: 200px auto;
}
Simplest suggestion would be to give min-height to your div in pixels... DEMO , keeping your markup same, below is the CSS.
CSS
.mydiv-left {
background: url(http://www.wallng.com/images/2013/08/image-explosion-colors-background-beautiful-263613.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
color : #FFF;
min-height:200px; /*this is the key*/
height:auto;
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
if you give height:auto;, it would scale the div to content height.
if you want to show the div anyway, min-height is a solution
Thanks all for helping me out, I was able to get it done with the following below code:
mydiv {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat;
height: 150px;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Main thing was last four lines that worked for me the way I wanted.
.mydiv-left {
background-image: url(path to image);
height:(in px);
width: (in px);
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-repeat: no repeat;
background-position: center center;
}

I would like to get a whole image as my header

Hey,
I would like to get a whole image, in the width of the browser, as my header.
But the thing is, i get a horizontal scroll bar, and I don't want that.
What I want is that the image adjust if the browser also adjust.
Is this possible with css?
Sorry for my bad english.
This is my code
#header {
Margin-left:auto;
Margin-right:auto;
heigth:400px;
position: center center;
min-width: 100%;
max-width: 1024;
}
<body>
<div id="header">
<img src="header.png" />
</div>
You could chose to set your image as background image and use background-size: cover; like this:
#header {
width: 100%; height 400px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url("../header.png");
background-size: cover;
}
<div id="header"></div>
You can find more explanation about background-size here:
http://www.css3.info/preview/background-size/
Try.
#header {
max-width: 100%;
background:#ffffff url("header.png") repeat-x;
}
You may be looking for a background cover:
html {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Using the cover method will scale the images to fill the container.
You can set #header img { max-width: 100%; }
Hmm, if i do a background-image, the image itself does not show up. Maybe beacause its 1400px in width, can css crop this for each diffrent width of the browser witout any horizontal scrolling bar.
