Is it possible via CSS to force the background-image which is repeating that it should be completely visible (not cut at the end of the container)? The container-height is flexible!
It should look like on the right side but I get a result like on the left side if the content
grows.
There are two possible ways:
avoid the background-image to overflow (I can't use background-size: contain because it's repeating)
force the container to grow gradually
Is this possible?
this is not the best solution but maybe it will help: if you can ignore IE8 and below, you can use the background-size property, it will allow you adjust the size of the images with percents so they will feet completely to what you need (and will stay in the same position at resize), then you can use the background-position property and move the images little bit for a better result. then, when you will try to resize it you will see that it stays in the same ratio on the screen but the images are getting bigger because of the percents, so make sure to upload bigger images from scratch so when the images will get bigger they will not resize above the real image size.

This is kind of a specific question.
<div id="d_btn">
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7">
</div>
Here's a jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/fcjwjutb/
you'll notice it creates an image button which is really just a div with a background image, and that thanks to a base64 data of a single transparent pixel the aspect ratio is always 1:1 (a different pixel w/h would give different aspect ratio). it changes the image when you hover.
the problem is: if I resize the window vertically, the aspect ratio breaks.
however, automagically, if you refresh the page - the aspect ratio returns to normal.
what I want is the aspect ratio to stay correct while you resize the window, without having to refresh. what would I need to change in this specific example to accomplish this? looking for a CSS answer, not JS.
the "trick" to maintain aspect ratio here is the fact that if you set only height or only width, the other parameter should automatically maintain scale if there's an image involved, that's what the 1pixel is for.
I don't get why this breaks upon resize though, when initially upon page load it works correctly.
The issue seems to revolve around the fact that when you resize, the div's background image stretches instead of... well... not stretching. but the div itself also gets resized, while the img child inside of it doesn't, and maintains its aspect ratio as intended.
after seeing some incorrect answers let me make something clear:
the div and the image size have to match. hover event should only get triggered when you hover over the image itself, otherwise this doesn't feel like a "button". basically you're not allowed to have a div larger than the image, or else you create blank area that triggers a hover event.
the answer I'm looking for is one that is able to make the div itself resize in a way that keeps the aspect ratio while you resize the window, while having the background image always cover the entire div.
You can use background-size property to ensure background images maintain their aspect ratio within a given container.
It is also bad practice to use IDs for elements like this one.

You can also use flex-box to now centre page elements vertically & horizontally. Read more about flexbox here
Been using ImageResizer quite effectively on my projects but just ran into an issue.
I have an img element that can have it's src change frequently but I always have the same dimensions of width and height to resize, along with the anchor=middleleft.
However, I don't want to upscale, so sometimes an image that is too small will be placed there and it won't anchor as desired.
Does anyone know a way to allow the anchor to still work when the image is too small to resize it? Or am I just going to have to have a fallback of css left alignment?
Try scale=canvas. This ensures the returned image is exactly the requested size, and adds padding as required.
I've got a simple question :) Hopefully.
So, I wan't to repeat a website-background-image with CSS. But not pixel by pixel - no - pixelinterval by pixelinterval. For example I want to repeat pixel 0 to 100 of my background image each time it is needed on the y-axis.
For normal, if i had a background image to repeat with the dimensions of 1000*1 px, CSS would display this image each pixel-line in the browser, until it's not needed anymore.
Now, if I put in a 1000*10 px image, CSS would repeat the image as long as there is the need of it PLUS only as long as there is content to display on. That means, if there is (for example) no text to be displayed anymore, the browser would stop displaying the image, even if there were only 1000*5 px of the image displayed.
What I want is to display the full image, even if there is no content displayed on it. That means if the 1000*10 px image is repeated, it's displayed by it's full size. Everytime 1000*10 px - never less.
Is it possible to archieve that somehow?
thanks :)
You can put all of your content in one DIV.Add your img-background style to this DIV. Then with javascript you must get the height of your content , add 5px and round number to 0. Then add the new height to the DIV.
I'm not sure there's a way to do this with pure html/css that would work cross-browser, but you could look to javascript to calculate the height of your container, and work backwards from there, explicitly setting the min-height to a set interval as you'd like...
I would like to have a repeat-x on my body background for a web site, but the background is 1024 wide, so on wider displays, the line where the image begins again will be positioned to the right of the body, and possibly visible. My content is in a div 800 wide centred on the body. I would like the 'split' like from the repeating background to occur in the centre of the body, where it is hidden by the content.
I'm sure this is possible, with some trickery, the details of which are beyond my novice design and layout skills.
WORKAROUND: I used the Liquid Rescale GIMP plugin, which uses seam carving, to stretch the images to twice their original size. It works great, and I'm happy for now, but it's not an answer to this question.
A straightforward way to do this without any CSS trickery or extra markup is to modify the image. Center the background image with:
background-position: top center;
...and then offset the actual image file in an editor. In Photoshop use Filter >> Other >> Offset and use a horizontal value that is half of the image's width. Likewise, in the Gimp use Layer >> Transform >> Offset.
That's not the clean CSS solution you were looking for, but it's a nice pragmatic fix.
just put in the style:
background-position: 400px 0px;
this will start the repeating 400px from the left side (thus moving the split under the content)
I think it is not possible to do this dynamically (without taking the screen size into account) without using CSS expressions. I don't know the details about browser support though. A quick google search turned up this page as an example of how to do this.

Adding to what David said, creating a seamless, tiling background image isn't that tough:
Seamless background with Photoshop
It takes a bit of time, but it will look good at all screen resolutions once you're done.
I have this website.
The div container contains a background with a grungy look, and the body contains another background that is repeated on the x coordinate.
If you view the site you'll see whitespace on the left and right side. I am wondering how I can set the background images to expand based on the screen resolution. Would it work to set a width based on percentage for each div?
To my knowledge, CSS does not support scaling background images, which is disappointing to say the least. Long story short, you'll probably have to fake it with a fixed-position, z-indexed img tag. That, or what you did: a large image with a background-repeat.
I dont see any issues with what you've got in FF3/IE6/IE7 and chrome. only issue i see is the transparent png in ie6 with the ugly gray behind it.
ie6 I gotta fix but what the customer wants is for the with of the page to size up based on the users computer resolution
Unfortunately, you can't scale the image itself.
What you could do would be remake the div structure so that the inner div contains the center of the grungy background and the sides were tiled through two separate divs. You could then recut the center piece to tile both vertically and horizontally and give it a width that is a percentage of the window size. You could keep it from getting too small via javascript.
This is not an optimal solution, but if the client is set on having it scale with the browser window, this might accomplish it for them.
thanks for all your answers, when i said white space i didnt mean actual white space what i was refering to was that the entire container div wasnt sizing (width wise) towards what the users computer resolution was. and since allot of the divs are set with a background image there is no css code for setting the width on the image but i guess it would work on the divs. but thankfully after talking with the customer he changed his mind and doesnt want it anymore :)
