Is min-height more appropriate?
Or for that matter, is it even appropriate for me to be setting all of my fullscreen backgrounds to both html and body? Can this be set to html alone?
html, body {
height: 100%;
background-image: url(blah.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center;
}
everything is drawn on body, html is the main document, if you can give styles but is not highly recommended because body and html in question are the same.
min-height is used whenever a screen this size that does not want.
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
background-image: url(blah.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
background-size: cover;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-repeat: none;
}

Is it possible to use CSS to make the background of the top 5% of a page a solid color, and two different background images for the remaining 65% and 30%?
This is how I need it to look:
Edit 2: So there are numerous ways to accomplish this.
Pseudo elements: I think this is the best method, as it avoids extra elements in the markup and allows good control of scaling/cropping. Example below.
Multiple containers: Works just like pseudo elements, but with the added disadvantage of extra elements in the markup. The best support across older browsers, but these days, pseudo elements are quite well supported. Example below.
Multiple backgrounds: This may be suitable for solid colors or gradients, but for most images scaling and cropping will be problematic if using percentages for size. Example below.
1. Pseudo Elements
Just add ::before and ::after pseudo elements to the pagewrapper, supply background images, and position accordingly.
html, body {
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.pagewrap {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
.pagewrap::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 5%;
left: 0;
height: 65%;
width: 100%;
background-image: url("https://i.postimg.cc/nckTrT6T/21.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
.pagewrap::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
height: 30%;
width: 100%;
background-image: url("https://i.postimg.cc/qvDLXqB3/Optical-Illusion-Brain-washer-27.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
<div class="pagewrap">
</div>
2. Multiple Containers
Just replace the pseudo elements in above example with container divs in the html.
html, body {
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.pagewrap {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
.mid65 {
position: absolute;
top: 5%;
left: 0;
height: 65%;
width: 100%;
background-image: url("https://i.postimg.cc/nckTrT6T/21.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
.btm30 {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
height: 30%;
width: 100%;
background-image: url("https://i.postimg.cc/qvDLXqB3/Optical-Illusion-Brain-washer-27.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
<div class="pagewrap">
<div class="mid65"></div>
<div class="btm30"></div>
</div>
3. Multiple Background Images
Use multiple background images:
background-image: url("image1.jpg"), url(image2.jpg);
then use the same comma separated syntax
for background-repeat: no-repeat, no-repeat; (same value need not repeat)
and background-size: 100% 30%, 100% 65%;,
etc..
The background position is the tricky part though, because it doesn't seem to work as one might expect (Temani Afif kindly provided a very informative link in the comments below ). But this seems to achieve the desired result of 5% 65% 30%:
background-position: bottom left, 0% 15%;
Edit: Replaced gradients with actual images so you can see how image stretching may be an issue with this method. More suitable for solid colors or gradients.
html, body {
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.pagewrap {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: blue;
background-image: url("https://i.postimg.cc/qvDLXqB3/Optical-Illusion-Brain-washer-27.jpg"), url("https://i.postimg.cc/nckTrT6T/21.jpg");
background-size: 100% 30%, 100% 65%;
background-position: bottom left, 0% 15%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
<div class="pagewrap"></div>
I am trying to make a website, but I have a problem. I have a image, I need it to always fill the complete screen. Just like they do on this website: http://mollyandmepecans.com

Thanks!
Remove your image element, and then add this CSS:
body {
background-image: url("MountEverest.png");
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
}
Or, if you don't want to use the background, add this to your HTML to replace your image element:
<div class="hero"></div>
And this to your CSS:
.hero {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: -100;
background-image: url("MountEverest.png");
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
}
use object-fit if you need to cover img element.
.hero{
object-fit: cover;
}

I am making a layout with an background in body. I need to center it both horizontally and vertically. For that purpose I use background-position:center.
background-image:url('address');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:50% 50%;
However, the background not positoned correctly vertically: you can see only half of the image in the top of the screen. Check it here link to codepen.
As a solution I tried to use images with different sizes and background-position:50% 50%. Then I double-checked other background-relative selectors and found that if I add background-attachement and change it from its default value which is scroll to fixed, than the image is centered correctly.
Can anybody explain please why this happens?
It happens if you didn't gave the body a height, as its default is 0.
The body's height is based on its content, and a background image doesn't set it.
Here is a sample showing how you need to do
html, body {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
body {
background-image: url(http://placehold.it/200);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}
Sometimes it can create other issues when one need to give the body a height, and when, a positioned div is one option
#bkgdiv {
position: absolute;
left: 0; top: 0; right: 0; height: 100vh;
background-image: url(http://placehold.it/200);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}
<div id="bkgdiv"></div>
So, based on how/if you need to use background-attachment: scroll and/or positioned div's, here is a sample showing their behavior when one scroll (and a fiddle demo to play with)
html, body {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
body {
background-image: url(http://placehold.it/200);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: scroll;
}
#bkgdiv {
position: absolute;
left: 0; top: 0; right: 0; height: 100vh;
background-image: url(http://placehold.it/180/0f0);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}
#bkgdivfixed {
position: fixed;
left: 0; top: 0; right: 0; height: 100vh;
background-image: url(http://placehold.it/160/ff0);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}
<div id="bkgdiv"></div>
<div id="bkgdivfixed"></div>
<div style="width: 5px; height: 150vh; background: red; margin: 5px"></div>
If you want to gave background to body, its really simple task.
initially you need to write css for body and html
html, body {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
The next ting is you need to gave background css to the body
body {
background-image: url(https://yt3.ggpht.com/-v0soe-ievYE/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/OixOH_h84Po/s900-c-k-no-mo-rj-c0xffffff/photo.jpg);
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Okey now the image seems to be the center of the body(screen),
Now you can adjust the size using background-size property.
background-size: cover;
The images enlarged enough to cover the entire screen.
background-size: contain;
The images enlarged up to the height or width(which is smaller) of the screen.
you can give fixed size my giving size to it
background-size: Xpx Ypx;
I want to create a box that goes over the whole width of the screen, so always responsive the full screen width.
My current CSS code always limited the box to the Boddy, but I want the full width.
In addition, I want a background image in the box.
Can someone help me?
My CSS:
div.bg {
background-image: url("LINK TO PIC");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;}
Use Viewport units: vw, vh, vmin, vmax
div.bg {
background-image: url("LINK TO PIC");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
}
read more
div.bg {
background-image: url("LINK TO PIC");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
z-index: 9;}
The box works and scrolls always at the bottom.
Now I would like a small X in the right corner so that the user can close the box, best function to close and reopen
Is there something which prevents you from setting the div as position:fixed?
If not, it's quite simple:
div.bg
{
position: fixed;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
background-image: url("LINK TO PIC");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
I have the following CSS script that I would like help with. When its on a PC it looks fine, but when its on a mobile device its stretched. Is there anything I can add to it to keep the aspect ratio please?
body {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
background:url(../images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
Thanks all
Rob
If you remove background-size: 100% 100% it should work for you.
Fiddle: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/wGVJRg
Its because of background-size: 100% 100%; in your code. change it to background-size: 100%. this may work.
If you are concerned about aspect ratio, it's always preferable to use img tag,
and the css for image tag would be
img.background-image-holder{
display: block;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
margin: auto;
}
