I'm trying to learn html and css. Right now I'm trying to make a background image fill the browser window no matter the size.
I've googled it 100 times and every page pretty much says the same thing. So I copied the code and it isn't working for me. When I set my browser to a smaller size, the background image repeats itself. Which I don't want I just want it to fill the window.
Here's my css.
html {
background-image:url(background.jpg);
background-size: 100%;
background-image: no-repeat-y; }
Before I did 100%, I tried using cover instead and that didn't work either. The image is fullscreen when the window is maximized but when I resize it the image will repeat.
Using background-size cover will do the job:
html {
background: url(background.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
To scale, the CSS you want to scale needs to be inside a container itself, namely BODY inside the HTML container; try this:
html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
background-image:url(background.jpg);
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat-y;
}
You need to specify a height of 100% to the parent div <body> so that any child div with a height: 100%; will take the height of it's parent div. Here's an example:
Wrap your content in a parent div like this:
<html>
<body>
<div class="wrapMeTight">
....Your page content....
</div>
</body>
</html>
And add this to your css:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrapMeTight {
min-height: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-image: url (/img.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Use this:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body { background-image: url("background.jpg"); background-size: 100% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 100vh; width: 100vh; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

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
}

<div id="text">test</div>
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.
I'm trying to place a fullscreen background image combined with a repeating background image without the use of J-query. Is it possible?
This is the code I use to get my image fullscreen:
body {
background: url(../img/bg1.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
But now I want this completely overlapped by a .png image background that needs to have a repeat function, for the simple reason that the .png contains lines which will rescale and look awful on certain screen sizes.
Any ideas?
Already tried:
Giving html a background and body a background, it will only display one of both.
Be aware that multiple backgrounds won't work on ie8 if needed:

This answer will work on every browser:
You must give width and height to the elements.
You can see answer here: http://jsfiddle.net/Rc38f/
HTML Code:
<html>
<body>
<div id="wrapper"></div>
</body>
</html>
CSS Code:
html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
body {
background-image: url('http://www.colourbox.com/preview/4632391-637684-seamless-small-white-flowers-pattern-background.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#wrapper {
background: url('http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02403/Jonstockshooting_2403237b.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
It is possible to include two background images on one tag.
How it Works
Multiple background images can be specified using either the
individual background properties or the background shorthand property.
This should be a Helpful resource to get you started.
css:
body {
background-image: url(http://www.wallcoo.com/paint/Chiplegal_vector_art/images/%5Bwallcoo.com%5D_vector_art_0seasons.jpg), url(http://nopgc.org/v2/images/body_bg.jpg);
background-position: top center, center;
background-repeat: no-repeat, repeat;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
fiddle: Demo
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;
}
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.
