I want to make a background like this except using an image instead of the blue background: http://gakeyclub.org/
Notice that resizing the window of the browser does not disturb the background. What do I need for this?
According to your comment, what you are asking is to have your background center on your page. To do so use background-position this will tell the browser where to position the background according to its container.
background-position:50% 50%;
You might like to add some other background attributes such as background-repeat:no-repeat to make sure the picture does not repeat on huge resolutions.
this is how your css should be looking for a fixed image as background:
body
{
background-image:url('image.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
}
Why do you want to use an image. It will just increase the size of the page. Use this code:-
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #002f5f;

I'm using a template from semantic-ui. This one: https://semantic-ui.com/examples/homepage.html. Essentially i'm trying to change the height of the background to match the height of my image. Right now my image (the one in background-image) shows up but the background (which I turned red simply to see it better) is larger then it so I have this dead space between my background-image and the beginning of the content.
The only way I seem to be able to manipulate the background is the color. Any other time i'm changing it's size (which i've experimented with quite a bit) it only seems to change the size of the image. Not the red background.
Perhaps i'm not understanding the relationship between the two? Any tips on how to change the background's height to match the background-image?
Any help is appreciated.
CSS below:
.ui.inverted.vertical.center.aligned.segment {
background: red;
background-image: url('./images/backgroundLogo.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
/* background-size: 100%; */
background-size: 100% 507px;;
width:100%;
}
I found it. There was a native min-height: property that was over riding my attempts to change. Simply put in
min-height: 500px !important;
and it worked.
I am using blogger and recently inserted this cc code in to the advanced section of the template designer to input a background image
body {
background: url(http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/9854/ied6.jpg) no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-color: none;
}
.body-fauxcolumn-outer div {
background: none !important;
}
The problem is that when the browser window is resized the background stays the same but all the widgets/elements on the page resize along with the window.
See www.ashlylondon.blogspot.com
I need the background to resize along with the widgets so that they stay in the white area on the background image.
You are relying on background resizing so much that your layout won't work without it. That's not ideal. The typical approach to a situation like this would be:
Have a background image that covers the entire screen
Give the <div> element that contains the actual content a background-color: white property.
You can still use background-size to scale your background image to the screen size, but it no longer is necessary for the layout to work.
this woul make sure your content is always readable no matter what; it'll work where background-size won't, e.g. in older browsers and some mobile devices.
add this to your css
body{background-size:100%;}
try this
add in body class background-size:cover;

body {
background: url(http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/9854/ied6.jpg) no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-color: none;
background-size:cover;
}
.body-fauxcolumn-outer div {
background: none !important;
}
I am building a single page site constructed of 4 divs, one on top of the other and each one with its own fixed background image. The images are much wider than the screen as I want to site to keep its look across a large range of screen sizes, however does anyone know how to truely center a background image. So in a small monitor they would be viewing the center of the image, and in a larger monitor they would see the same place of the image, just with more around it. Just like this site has
http://www.cantilever-chippy.co.uk/
When the window is resized the background image moves accordingly.
Many Thanks.
If you check the css from your link you see the solution:
#images #bg_1 {
background-image: url(images/bg/1.jpg);
background-position: 50% 0;
}
And the div:
<div class="bg_block" id="bg_1" style="height: 1200px; width: 1055px;"></div>
By JavaScript they change the width of #bg_1 on every resize.
window.onresize = function(event) {
$("#bg_1").css("width", $(window).width());
}
This should work
#bg{
background-image:url(yourURL);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position:center;
}
The background-fixed property is for Firefox and Opera.
You're looking for the background-position CSS property.
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-position.asp
It can take an absolute offset in pixels (so if you know the size of your image and the size of the div you could calculate exactly where you want it to appear). Or, you can pass in a percentage. It can also take a negative numbers so you can offset it off the screen in any direction.
For your case, though, you probably want the simple "center" value. Something like this should work:
/* This should center the background image in the div. */
div.background_image_block {
background-position: center center;
}
If you scroll to the bottom of this page - http://dev.socialadr.com/get/begin06 - you'll see that the white background w/ drop shadow stops near the end.
This is the image file that I want to repeat vertically:
http://dev.socialadr.com/mod/theme_simplebluewhite/graphics/theme_contentback.gif
The CSS file being used is:
http://dev.socialadr.com/_css/css.php
And I believe it's this #page_wrapper id that needs to be modified:
#page_wrapper {
width:1014px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
min-height: 300px;
background: url(http://dev.socialadr.com/mod/theme_simplebluewhite/graphics/theme_contentback.gif) repeat-y center top;
height:100%;
}
I've tried tons of different things, read a bunch of other StackOverflow posts about similar issues but for the life of me I can't get it to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try placing quotes around the URL:
background: url('http://dev.socialadr.com/mod/theme_simplebluewhite/graphics/theme_contentback.gif') repeat-y center top;
Your live CSS does not include the repeat-y property given in your pasted code.
Additionally, your image file is very large. Since the image is meant to be tiled, the image height should be the height of one tiling.
You should also break the image up into two pieces and set them as backgrounds on two different elements. Tiling the current image will include the top part of the box with the corners, which is not what you want. Set the corners-only image as the background on one element, then the tile image on another element with repeat-y.
Is there a way to dynamically resize the image on the page background? I have a background that repeats on Y axes but if I make the height size bigger and if the page contains less content then the backgroun does not fit properly.. can anyone please help? thanks
Short answer: No.
Long answer: http://css-tricks.com/how-to-resizeable-background-image/
Indeed what you want is not yet possible (perhaps in CSS3 ?). The best way to go as of yet I think is using the CSS background-attachment.
body {
background-attachment: fixed; /*background doesn't scroll out of the screen */
background-position: top center; /* background's center is in the center of the window */
}
There are CSS3 descriptors that do this:
#my-id {background-size: 100% 100%;}

Hope this helps!
