You can use border-radius for some simple oval shaped divs, by combining multiple divs and multiple classes you can achieve something like that, but its quite hard.

Only show group once while tiling with SVG

I'm designing a website which uses a SVG-document as background. I want this image to tile on the X-axis. Which works great, but I wanted to know if it is possible to show one group in the SVG only once, such that in subsequent tiles the group is hidden.
The above image visualizes what I want to achieve. The image having one group (in the image the red circle) that is invisible in the following tiles.
Now I am aware such things can be achieved using additional CSS backgrounds but I am really interested if such thing could be achieved using a single SVG background.
Thanks in advance!
The answer is no. If you are relying on CSS to tile the background - ie. with repeat-x, then no. there isn't any way to do what you want. When an SVG is used as a background like that, it becomes immutable - effectively the same as a PNG or a JPEG.
You will need to use a different method.

How to make a single image change to different images based on where you hover over?

Is it possible to make an single image change based on where your mouse is positioned on the image?
If so, how I would I accomplish something like this?
Theres a concept of z-index which basically means that how the images are aligned in vertical space..You can stack all the imagesone above the other with only the topmost being visible..Then depending upon where the user is you can change the layering of the images on the fly.. But without any code its a bit difficult to know where are you stuck/what have you tried?

CSS rollover help for percentage widths

Does anyone know of a method where I could have a CSS rollover image with a percentage width so that it scales with the size of the page?
I presume that I wouldnt be able to use the method shown here http://www.vision.to/css-only-single-image-fast-rollover.php because that sets the image sprite as the background image.
The only other CSS method I have seen was here: http://thefiles.macadamian.com/2008/06/pure-css-image-rollover-without.html
I like this method but was wondering if it were possible to use one image sprite as opposed to having to load the images separately.
Sorry if I sound very vague, whenever I read these questions I always think the people writing them dont describe what they mean properly and now I've come to do it I'm no better myself haha.
Thanks for any help :)
I don't see how you could do this with sprites. They're done by setting a large image as a background for an element, usually a DIV, and then altering the position so that only the desired portion of the image is shown. Different DIVs can show different parts of the image by altering the background image position.
However, you can't scale background images. They're always shown at 1:1. You can make them repeat within the element, or not, but you can't scale them, so the sprite idea is out.
Doing it with separate images is fairly straightforward, as indicated by the link you posted.
Preloading an image for rollover is pretty simple. Just include an image tag with the CSS set to hide the image:
<img src='myrolloverimage.jpg' style='visibility:hidden; display:none;' />
If you don't need to support IE8 and earlier, you could use the CSS3 background-size property with percentage values.
As with foreground images, a sprite file most likely wouldn't be a reasonable option. There are added complexities with sprite files when the image is scaled. The background-position is based on the scaled size of the image, and getting an accurate position using percentage values is problematic.

Horizontally and vertically repeating images in the same sprite - impossible?

I am experienced at creating advanced CSS sprites by hand, but I now find myself wondering if it's possible to have one image of vertically repeating background as well as a second image of horizontally repeating (different) background, contained in the same sprite?
It would seem logically impossible, if both images have to truly repeat, I mean think about it, you cannot specify a cropped area for the repeat, so they each would expand the image to where the vertical graphic would appear in the horizontal background and visa-versa.
But I just wanted to make sure I am not missing out on some kind of trick that I am not aware of - thanks for any suggestions or examples to explore.
If you are not certain what I am describing, draw a horizontal line across a paper and now draw a tall vertical line elsewhere on the paper. Now imagine one image repeating across the horizontal and a different image repeating down the vertical. Now try to imagine a sprite that could hold both images and the css rules each would use. It's not possible based on what I have learned but maybe there is a trick I don't know.
Short answer: not possible. :)
What I always do in your case:
Use two:
for vertical repeats
for horizontal repeats

Creating a fixed background for a website

I am trying to implement a fixed background for a website like one over here. Searching around for it told me that I can use background: fixed or background-attachment properties for this.
My problem is the image which will be used as background. I am thinking about following issues:
What should be image size?
how will it repeat when browser window size is very large? for big 27" monitors out there?
Can somebody guide me on these points?

That is not a single background image. Its mostly a bgcolor, except for the side clouds. Using a single large image as a background will dramatically slow down your load time.
There's no specific guideline. You need to make the image as large as necessary to satisfy the requirements of the design. If you want someone with a maximized browser window on a 30-inch display to see a single unbroken non-repeating background image, then yes, you'll need quite a large image. It won't perform well.
The Twitter example is a wide but short image, set to repeat along its x-axis. It's wide at 2247 pixels, but perhaps unnecessarily so: it actually appears to be a fixed pattern that repeats horizontally four times within that 2247 pixel image. Nonetheless, you get the idea: make an image that blends gracefully into itself at its edges for seamless tiling, and/or blends into a fixed background color. Position and repeat it as needed, set the background-color of the page, and you're done.
