I'm trying to create a page with a centered background image and using the position center center. But instead of appearing centered both vertically and horizontally the image appears to extend vertically beyond the top of the page. Where/why am I going wrong?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
body
{
background-image:url('tumbleweed.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
background-color:#EAEAEA;
}
</style>
</html>
Would you see the screen like below picture?
body{
background-image:url(../IMG/BG/pizzaBackground.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
I think It's because you didn't declare 'height'.
Add 'height:100vh'style.
body{
height: 100vh; /* ADD STYLE ! */
background-image:url(../IMG/BG/pizzaBackground.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
The reason for setting to 100vh is because the target is body tag.
If it's a different tag, use a different value.
Then this will be
And add 'margin:0px' style to remove the scroll.
body{
margin: 0px; /* ADD STYLE ! */
height: 100vh;
background-image:url(../IMG/BG/pizzaBackground.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Then you can see
Thanks!
You can use cover
background-image:url('tumbleweed.jpg');
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
http://jsfiddle.net/ou10gmfd/
Try this:
background-position: 50% 50%;
Or maybe you should try a space before the first center (could be an issue).
Most likely this is because your image is to large use background-size: cover; to cover the whole background of the body
remove DOCTYPE html from your page and it will work fine.
or use background-attachment: fixed;. then you do not have to remove DOCTYPE html

I have the following code at https://jsfiddle.net/ncrcfduz, and a background image at https://s21.postimg.org/iq2mtjaiv/bg_boardwalk.jpg. I need to make the background image rescale to fit in the div, preferred to show most of the "centered" content in the image. The following code only show the top-left corner of the image.
.container {
background: url(https://s21.postimg.org/iq2mtjaiv/bg_boardwalk.jpg) no-repeat fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
height: 150px;
width: 300px;
}
<div class="container">
</div>
You're looking for background-size: contain (see the MDN entry), not cover. To get your example to work, you'll have to drop the background-attachment: fixed. Use background-position: center to center the background in your div.
.container{
background: url(https://s21.postimg.org/iq2mtjaiv/bg_boardwalk.jpg) no-repeat center;
-webkit-background-size: contain;
-moz-background-size: contain;
-o-background-size: contain;
background-size: contain;
height: 150px;
width: 300px;
}
<div class="container">
</div>
Notes:
These days you almost certainly don't need the browser prefixes, meaning you can just use background-size: contain. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-size#Browser_compatibility
If you're using Autoprefixer (included in many build tools and build setups) it will automatically add any necessary prefixed versions for you, meaning you could do background-size: contain even if current versions of the major browsers still required prefixes.
You can include size in the background shorthand property with the syntax background: <background-position>/<background-size>. That would look like
.container{
background: url(https://s21.postimg.org/iq2mtjaiv/bg_boardwalk.jpg) no-repeat center/contain;
height: 150px;
width: 300px;
}
you should use:
.container{
background-size: 100%;
}
You just have to replace "fixed" by "center" on your "background" instruction.
Like that:
background: url(https://s21.postimg.org/iq2mtjaiv/bg_boardwalk.jpg) no-repeat center;
JSFiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/ncrcfduz/2/
.container{
background-size: contain;
}
I solved this way. You can set your code like this:
<div style="background-image: url('your_url') ;background-size: 100% 100%; "> <div>
This trick should work but it will not keep the image aspect ratio by default.
background-size: 100% 100%;
Ok so what I mean is, I want my background image to stay and the content in the div to scroll as more content inside is added.
see I don't want this to scroll
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/gLCns/
see kind of like the content on the codepen where you scroll in each window but it doesn't flow all over just in that window
you can use background-attachment: fixed; property to fix the background image.
html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: url(http://lorempixel.com/400/400) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
.content{
position: absolute;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7);
width:50%;
height:1020px;
left:20px;
top:20px;
}
Here is a Demo.
The background-attachment property is what controls if the background image scrolls or stays.
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-attachment.asp
So in the CodePen it has background-attachment:fixed; and the image stays put while the content above it scrolls.
Then you simply center the content container on the page, leaving off overflows, and as the content grows the page will scroll but the background is fixed.
OK, first your code is a mess. I recommend running your code through the w3 validator first.
You have two options to do what you want, either using the background fixed & cover that you already have answers for:
html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: url(image_URL) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
or using overflow on the div with the content.
#content {
width: 600px;
height: 500px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
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:
http://caniuse.com/multibackgrounds
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
In my page have 2-3 sections that have 100% width and background. When I open it on full screen everything is ok but when the screen is smaller than 960px (width of content in this sections) background image is not the entire page. The right side whis is hidden in firtst moment haven't background - it's white. You can see what I mean here: http://micobg.net/10th/
Simply add the background-size:100% style to the element where you applied background-image. Works in Firefox, Safari, and Opera. For example:
<style>
.divWithBgImage {
width: 100%;
height: 600px;
background-image: url(image.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%; //propotional resize
/*
background-size: 100% 100%; //stretch resize
*/
}
</style>
<div class="divWithBgImage">
some contents
</div>
Regarding to this article, you should to use cover as well:
html {
background: url(PATH_TO_IMAGE) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Use background min-width:960px; instead of width:100%;
Cheers
I tried to put a background on my whole page with
html {
background: url(images/panda.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
This generally works just fine, but I have discovered a problem: On the left-hand side of the screen is a white stripe. Is it possible to fix that?
PS: Just in advance: No, that stripe is not on the picture. You can get an impression of how it looks:
EDIT: http://jsfiddle.net/uhwcW/
When zooming in/out the white stripe sometimes disappears or switches sides... Confusing.
Try;
margin: 0;
padding: 0
in your CSS for html.
Have you tried to reset your body? Try this for other containers too, maybe it's just some margin or padding you're seeing...
body {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
}
this worked for me..
html{
background: url(..//index3.jpg) no-repeat 0 0 fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
}
Just adding a center after the url did it for me
like this:
background: url(images/panda.jpg) center;
