I know how to align my background image as well as my #wrapper div tag, but I am unable to get them to line up the way I want. Here is the example:
http://www.marathoneindhoven.nl/
The blue runner stays locked to the main div tag when resizing the window. If I add a large #container around the whole #wrapper, when I resize the browser I have a big space on the left side of the screen because the overall width of the #container is still trying to center itself. I have tried using the css property overflow but can not seem to get that to work either.
How can I possibly get this to work??
If you want the blue runner to move with the page then change your css to this:
#wrapper {
background: url(/images/bg-runner.png) right 0 top 150px no-repeat;
}

I've got a Bootstrap page where some rows have background images. Is there a way (preferably css) to scale such a background image, so that it's always centered and fills the div 100%?
So I don't mean a fullscreen background image for the entire page (like this), it just needs to fill the div (typically a row in my bootstrap container).
I mean like so:
So no matter the display resolution and the actual screen size of the div, its background image should scale accordingly so it entirely fills the div. The image should not be stretched out of proportions, which means that part of the image will typically fall outside the div, either up/down or left/right (unless the div just so happens to have the exact same aspect ratio as the image).
Also the image should be centered, i.e. the middle of the background image should be in the middle of the div.
I've tried all sorts of things with background-size:100% auto or auto 100% which seems to work OK in one direction, but I can't seem to find a generic solution that works in all cases.
sure, you could apply the same idea to any element:
yourdiv {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
/* and one of these: */
background-size:contain;
background-size:cover;
}
I am trying to create a menu using CSS, but I have a problem with its actual placement.
Right now, no matter what I tried it is always on the left side of the screen and not stretched. I would like to have it in the center and possibly stretch to 100% of the screen. I tried changing the width parameter, margins, text-align, but I always got something different than I wanted or it didnt work at all.
The menu can be seen here:

As I said, all I want is to have it in the center top of the page and possibly stretched so that the background image repeats all over the screen at the top with the buttons in the center.
I think the crucial lines are within this part of the code:
div#menu
but I am not sure
Remove float and add this to the <ul>:
width:100%;
text-align:center;
Then remove the float from the <li> items and make them inline-block elements, because they are inline-block now they will respond to the text-align:center of the parent, and will be centered:
display: inline-block;

I basically made a header image for my site and the sides of it have black on it. I want to extend the header so it goes for the width of the user's web browser with black "bars" as if the header extends for their whole browser.
I've tried a few things, but I cant figure this out.
Here's an example of what I have now:
#header {
background: url('img/header.png') no-repeat top center;
height: 131px;
}
#headerbg {
height: 131px;
width:4000px;
background-color:#000;
}
And in the html I just have both in divs and within each other in the html.
Here's a jsFiddle that shows you how to layer the two div's and use background-size property to expand the image so it fits just the same as the background color's width. UPDATE: New jsFiddle above is replaced to include better method for that type of look.
Edit: Here is a different jsFiddle that has places the image inside and centers it, allowing any excess background color from the parent container to show through.
Edit 2: Using the Edit fiddle above, you can apply CSS3/IE gradient effect as shown in this jsFiddle
Status: The solution was to use center center for background-position combined with setting both width and height to 100% for the image used.
I want to create a page with a horizontal centered content block that reaches from teh top to the bottom of the browser window. I already figured out that tables are not the right way to design a layout. A block that reaches from top to bottom is not the problem:
<div style="position:absolute;top:0px;width:800px;height:100%;background-color: #fff;">
</div>
But I'm not able to make this Div centered. I tried
"margin:auto"
But no effect. Th centers the text in the Div, but not the Div itself on th screen.
To center a div you need two things, a width, and automatic horizontal margins. Like this:
#myDiv {
width:800px; /* or whatever */
margin:0 auto;
}
There is no need for absolute positioning, just these two rules will do the trick.
to center an Absolutely Positioned div add left: 50%; margin-left: -400px;
where the negative margin value is half the width of the div
Try not to use position:absolute for layouts unless necessary. This sample shows best practice for horizontally centering your content.
If you need a solution that will continuously work to restrain the content area height within the viewable area, try my jQuery solution: http://jsfiddle.net/BumbleB2na/Z75hA/
There are a lot of questions regarding side-by-side divs. I didn't miss those. But I need something that spans the whole width of the screen. This is the situation:
I need three divs positioned side-by-side. The left, middle, and right divs we'll call them. The middle div holds the header contents of the site and is a fixed width (800px). I want the left and right div to span the rest of the screen width on either side. So..
<-LEFT-> | MIDDLE | <- RIGHT ->
The reason I want to do it this way is because the middle (content holding) div has a backgrond that is a gradient. Let's say the left side of the gradient is white and the right side is black. I need the Left div to be white so it is a continuation and the Right div to be black. This way it looks like one fluid heading that spans the whole width of the screen.
Thanks.
A solution for this problem I once implemented was using 2 div elements, absolutely positioned, with the center div as an overlay. I have a working example here:
jsFiddle solution
This way, it doesn't matter how wide the screen is: The div's span 50% of your screen, and the middle part is behind the centered div.
Note that you might have to use a javascript workaround for the height-issues.
Do you want content in the left or right divs? If not, Simply stick with your one center div, give it a width and position it using margin: 0 auto; in your css. You can then set the background image of the body tag with an image (say 1px by 2400px) that is half white and half black.
If you want that effect just behind your header, then you could create a div the same height as the heading and give it the following css properties:
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
that way it should sit behind your container (middle) div.
You should consider having just one centered div and on the body put a background-image of 1px height and large enough width and centered. That image will have the left half white and the right one black.
Hope this helps, Alin
...WWWWW| DIV |BBBBB...
Anyway I don't think it's possible without using a table.
Usually floatting div are size-fixed and center div is fluid.
