I would like to have two background images for a fansite layout I made: one background should be repeated both horizontally and vertically, the other one only vertically and needs to have a specific position. I made some search on StackOverflow and I added the following to my CSS:
body {background: url(images/bg.png) 162px repeat-y, url(images/bg-all.png) top repeat;}
Clearly I'm doing something wrong though, because the only image showing up it's the second one, the bg-all.png file. I'd need the bg.png to be over bg-all.png because it's the content background.
In order to make things clear, even though it's far from being finished (in fact, there are several other issues but I think it's better to solve one problem at a time), I'm adding a link to the test version of the layout: http://gwyneth-paltrow.org/test/
I don't know if it matters, but it's a Wordpress site.
I'm definitively not an expert and every suggestion is very much appreciated.
Thank you all in advance!
the second value of the background position is missing, try this and substitute the ??? with a value:
body {
background-image: url(images/bg.png), url(images/bg-all.png);
background-position: 162px ???, top ???;
background-repeat:repeat-y, repeat;
}
also note that the first declared background image is ON TOP of the second one.

What I want to achieve:
I am doing the very familiar CSS zen garden however I can't seem to get the image to float like this. I want it at the top of the page and to stay at the top like a toolbar like stackoverflow has mounted to the top of the page.
Unfortunately, any time I try to display my image it is not only behind the text but also far too large. I only see about 1/3rd of my image. If I try to scale it in any way then it disappears completely. I have seen that other people do this with the added <divs> but I am told that I should use ::before to do this ....either way I can't get either to even display my image ...the only thing that does barely work is ...
body{
background: url("../CSSMidterm/Header.png") center;
}
but as I said that displays 1/3rd of the image....any idea how I can rectify this situation?
To make it clear, I am asking how to mount an image to the top of a webpage using ONLY CSS no touching HTML at all. I want it to be fairly similar to the toolbar at the top of Stack Overflow own page.
You can try this
body {
background : transparent url("../CSSMidterm/Header.png") no-repeat center center/cover;
}

Actually my first question on stack:)
I'm trying to get a negative (right) margin on my repeating background, so there won't be a gap between the repeating images.
It seems there is no css syntax for this.
To make things clear, i added an image below. So i'm trying to get the repeating images of the cookie-like things to overlap so there's no gap between them.

You can apply multiple backgrounds to an element, so why not use this background image twice, with different horizontal offsets.
body {
min-height:170px;
background:
url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/jKAKB.png') 0 100% repeat-x,
url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/jKAKB.png') 75px 100% repeat-x;
}
PS the cookie like things are called kruidnoten. Although everybody calls then pepernoten, which is not actually true.
I have a website with a repeated background image.
background: url(images/back_small.png) repeat center center fixed;
I would like it more, however, if the image were not repeated one copy after an other, to add some variation.
The final result should be a sort of a dotted pattern where the image appears now and then, instead of being instantly repeated.
I have no idea if this is possible with CSS, but if so... I'm waiting for idea :D
I recommend using a variation of the multiple background technique where you save your image with differing sizes of transparent "space" around it based off prime numbers.
It is known as the Cicada Principle on this site.
The prime numbers introduce the "randomness." Of course, if you do not want them to overlap in any way, then you will need to be very selective exactly what image sizes to use to insure no direct overlap occurs within a normal size monitor display.
My solution is to use the same image twice (we can put as many background images we want).
Then use different repeat-x and background positions to dictate the final look of the background. My solution is as follows:
background-color: white;
background-image: url(../../../../../assets/images/my-watermark.png),
url(../../../../../assets/images/my-watermark.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x, repeat-x;
background-position-y: -60px, 400px;
background-position-x: -150px, -270px;
There's not really a way to do exactly what you're asking in pure CSS. I have however seen people introduce "noise" into a site's background using multiple images.
Here's an example of using multiple backgrounds with CSS.
Here's a stackoverflow question regarding noise in gradients.
Hopefully this gives you some ideas to get a feel for what you want on your site.
I'm trying to get a background image to start and stay in a fixed position, but only until the rest of the 'content' of the page is finished, at which point the full image is displayed.
I'm working on a purely CSS solution. I should note that the image is larger than most (laptop) screens.
Specifically, here's the code that I've been using:
body {
background:$bgcolor;
background-image:url('http://i.imgur.com/cIGSehG.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:0px 72px;
background-attachment:fixed;
margin:0;
...
}
The image that I'm using is given in the url():
The effect that I'm looking for is basically the image will display only about the top 10% of the grass hill while you're looking at most of the page, but if you finally scroll all the way down past all the page content, the remaining 90% of the grass hill will be shown.
I couldn't find this anywhere, but I may have just been using poor search terms since I'm not so familiar with the lingo.
Well, this was one jiggy nut! I did come up with a not so stable trick to achieve this. I don't have time to develop it any more right now, but perhaps it might be a working concept.
Main contept
By providing a large and empty footer area that the user is likely to hover when reaching the bottom of the page, we use a sibling selector to change the position of its sibling element containing the background:
#footer:hover ~ #background {
background-position: center bottom;
}
Along with a few quirks (which ought to be improved) we can achieve a parallax effect.

Hi I have a 1px png file,which I am trying to set as a background image for two divs which are adjacent to each other horizontally.The html and css are as under:-
<div id='one'>hi</div>
<div id='two'>hello</div>
The css is like this
div {
width: 50%;
height: 50%
}
#one, #two {
background-image: url(/images/image.png);
background-repeat: repeat;
}
Now the problem here is in between the two divs a black border automaticaly appears when the image is set. I dont want the two divs to be seen as separate blocks.Please help. Am totally new to css and need help:-)!
I'd be willing to bet that the image you are using has alpha transparency (that is, the image is partially transparent), and what you're seeing is a one-pixel overlap between the two divs. Either make sure that the container is an even number of pixels wide, or put the divs inside another container and use the background on that instead.
like robert, i'm also not getting the border, but i do get some repeats.
see if this works for you:
#one, #two{
background-image:url(99785.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
borders: 0
}
The problem is caused by a couple of interacting things.
First, make sure you are using the html strict doctype. This will help mitigate a lot of the formatting issues between browsers around divs. See alistapart for a description and list of real doctypes to use and quirksmode for a detailed comparison of them.
Second, you will more than likely have to set the margin of your divs to 0. Browsers have different default settings. A strict doctype will alleviate most of this, but there are usually other areas you have to overcome as well.
Also, you might want to grab firebug for firefox and leverage chromes dev tools. firebug will actually show you what all of the margins / padding / everything else is being set to. The Chrome tools don't give you a pretty picture with the details but you can see what the margins/padding/etc are in the Computed Style section.
