I've tried everything and searched everywhere. But nothing seems to work.
It's such an easy problem to solve I think, I'm just not getting there alone.
I want to set a background image on my jumbotron, since I'm using bootstrap.
Here is what I did.
<div class="jumbotron center " > <!-- start jumbotron -->
<div class="container">
<div class="jb-text">
<h1>This is an epic service</h1>
<h3>Not really, just trying this thing out</h3>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-default" id="btn-custom">Start Your <strong>Free</strong> Trial</button>
</div> <!-- end container -->
</div> <!-- end jumbotron -->
And this is the CSS
.jumbotron{
background-image: url('image/green-forest.jpg') no-repeat center center;
}
Unfortunately nothing happens.
The problem is that you have used background-image instead of background property.
I was just having the same problem. Since my css file was contained within a stylesheets folder, and I stored images in a different folder, I had to change it to:
.jumbotron{
background-image: url('../image/green-forest.jpg') no-repeat center center;
}
This is because your url is relative to the location of your css file, not your HTML file.
It's likely a combination of two things:
First, you have specified the background-image attribute. This would be fine if you hadn't added the other properties as well. So you should have rather used the background attribute here - as in the previous answer.
Next, whether or not your jumbotron style actually applies also depends on the other in which you load the CSS files in your page. If you load your CSS file before the Bootstrap CSS, then the styles from the Bootstrap CSS file will probably override your style. In this case, your styles will not apply. So you should load you specific CSS file after the Bootstrap CSS file is loaded.
.jumbotron{
background-image: url(../image/green-forest.jpg); }
Please try this code for setting your image to the Jumbotron class.

I have made 2 Divisions out of bootstrap property <div class="col-md-12" > on the same page. In the first one, I have added a different Background and some hover property, now in the second one I have to make a "Sign Up" Div but with other properties with the same <div class="col-md-12" > ie. Full page width row. But the changes are happening on both the Divisions.
Can somebody Help ?
I am using Visual Studio 13 for aspx webpage.
Sorry if it is a silly question.
Thanks In Advance.
You can append another class to the ones you want to style:
<div class="col-md-12 styleme">
Content
</div>
CSS:
.styleme {
background-color: #000;
}
This way, you can style the div using your own custom class as opposed to overriding BootStrap's native one.
NOTE: ensure to place the custom style in your own custom CSS file and ensure it is referenced in your site AFTER the BootStrap CSS file.
Here's a description of the problem: for starters, I have a background logo image displaying on the webpage version (screen media) at the top of the page spanning the entire width of the page (basically a masthead).
Then I added a print stylesheet and have been hiding and showing certain parts to optimize the experience for users and their printers .
However, and here's the problem, I noticed that on IE in every page of the print preview the logo image is being added to the top of every page in the print out when the page content is enough for more than one page in the total number of pages. So if there's enough content for 3 pages then in all those three pages the logo image appears at the top every page in the print out, when it should only appear in the 1st one.
I've checked my CSS and I can't find whats going on. I don't have the section that contains the CSS class that defines the background image repeated more than once. This only happens on IE. Not on Chrome nor Firefox.
Here's an excerpt of the HTML:
....
<body>
<div class="repeating-bg-img">
<div class="container">
...
<!-- /.inner content that is long enough for more than one page -->
...
</div><!-- /.container -->
</div><!-- /.repeating-bg-img -->
</body>
</html>
and here's an excerpt of the CSS in the print.css stylesheet with media = print :
.repeating-bg-img {
background: #ffffff url('../img/background-image.png') scroll repeat-x left top;
}
Has anyone encountered this before on IE? If so, do you have a fix for this?
I ran into the same problem today. One solution is a structure like this:
<body>
<div id="background" style="position: relative;">
<img src="bkgnd.png" style="position: absolute; z-index: -1;">
<div class="container" ...>
...
</div>
</div>
</body>
The basic idea is to take the image out of the flow but position it relative to its containing <div>. The z-index pushes it behind other elements. So this can be used as any kind of column header.
One upside to this is that the background image will print even if the "background images" option isn't set in the print dialog. I'd like to see a proper solution as well though.
Edit 2013/07/23:
It looks like the CSS3 property will be box-decoration-break. This isn't going to help with older versions of IE but the spec is available here: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#box-decoration-break
If what you really want is a masthead, I also thought this might work:
#media print {
div#background { background: none; }
#page :first { background: url('bkgnd.png') center no-repeat;
margin: ...; }
}
But it looks like that is CSS3 as well. Chrome loads the image from the server but only honors the 'margin' attribute; Firefox and IE9 seem to ignore all of it.
I pasted this code into my header.php file to get an opt-in button:
<div class="createsend-button" style="height:27px;display:inline-block;"data-listid="r/72/191/0E3/389738A3FFEDFFA8">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">....</script>
I can't seem to control the placement - if I add .createsend-button to css there's no effect. When I look at this in Firebug it says this div class is actually .subscribe-button-inner but customizing that class in css has no effect either.
What am I missing here?
My site is at : http://tinyurl.com/c5eujcj
The iframe for the createsend button has inline CSS including position: absolute. If createsend offers an option to change the button, that would be your best option. If not, use this:
<div class="applyStylesToThis">
<div class="createsend-button" style="height:27px;display:inline-block;" data-listid="r/72/191/0E3/389738A3FFEDFFA8"></div>
</div>
I am able to get an svg to show just fine when I use
<img src="../images/jte.svg" alt="Logo">
however, when I try and display via css using the following:
html
<div class="logo2">
</div>
css
.logo2 {
background-image: url(jte.svg);
}
Nothing is being displayed. Any idea why this is happening? I have tried multiple different path options "('../images/jte.svg') ('jte.svg) no avail though.
Use a defined width and height for the element in question, or simply attach it to the body. For example:
body { background-image: url('https://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/img/sprites.svg')
I'm building a web site and I'm using HTML5. I'd insert into my header an img that is my company's logo. In terms of efficient and correctness it is better set up css propriety as background-image: url("logo.gif") in my css style or including in the html file
<header>
<img src="logo.gif" alt="logo" />
</header>
It is best to include the image as an img tag, not a background-image.
This means that if the client has disabled CSS on their browser, or it doesn't support CSS, they will still be able to see the logo at the top of the page.
This would also mean you could make the logo a link to the home page, which has become a general usability point for websites these days:
<header>
<img src="logo.gif" alt="logo" />
</header>
For more information on this sort of situation, see this popular StackOverflow post:
When to use IMG vs. CSS background-image?
that depends.
If your logo should be clickable then include it in the HMTL. (usebility)
If it is only present for design purposes go with the CSS.
It is generally a better idea to define everything related to the appearance of the Website in the CSS.
html:
<header>
<div id="company_logo"></div>
</header>
css:
#company_logo{
width:50px;
height:50px;
background-image:url();
}
Unless you need to have some contents over your logo, I'd go for the <img> tag (it is also screen reader-friendly provided you have the "alt" text).
Background images can not be printed, if your site has the purpose of being printed, then your logo won't display.
Remember that a logo is a content, and a background is a style. Using a background as a logo is not semantic.
