I'd like to have my banner fill up the top of the website completely, how do I do that? There are some gaps as shown in the photo. Here is my css:
<body>
<div id="headerbanner"></div>
<div class="container">
</div>
</body>
body{
background-image: url("../IMAGES/mountain1.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
#headerbanner{
height: 70px;
background-color:black;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center top;
}
It's hard to pinpoint the exact issue as you haven't provided a great detail of detail, context or code, but I believe issue is that your background image doesn't cover the container.
Try the following CSS rule
background-size: cover;
Your new CSS would be:
#headerbanner {
height: 70px;
background-color:black;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center top;
background-size: cover;
}
This should stretch the background image to fill the container, whilst retaining aspect ratio.
Try to not make the banner a background, that doesnt make sense.
instead use a fixed position and manually set it to 0px top, 0px right.
Consult this :
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_position.asp
NEXT THING TO CONSIDER:
Once you or your client has accessed the website, programmatically set the position, width and height depending on viewport of the client's browser. This can be accomplished with javascript, using the window.onload function.
I am trying to make background image work like http://www.rottentomatoes.com/
I looked at the css used by them which is this:
background:url(../Content/themes/base/images/background.jpg) no-repeat fixed 50% 0px rgb(0, 0, 0);
I tried this with background image with resolution of 1280*1024 but it does not work same way at all. It does not cover whole background leaves spaces on both left and right side of the page. Also works differently for all main browsers ie, firefox and chrome.
Is there a way to make background image like rottoentomatoes for all browsers their background image stays static means if some small text is written on the left of the background image it will be similar in all browsers?
This is the screenshot look at the black background image is not covering whole screen.
I also tried following css:
background: url(../Content/themes/base/images/background.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
this covers the whole screen but is not consistent on all browsers and ruins the quality of the image. Not at all like rottentomatoes.
Added rottentomatoes image to explain what i meant by static text in background image.
Here is a great place to start, ref URL below. When you visit the web page as you scroll down they go through all aspects of aligning the background.

Check sample for two background image in a single div tag.
CSS:
.container{
width:300px;
height:150px;
background:url(http://img.b8cdn.com/images/icons/loading_large_icon.gif) no-repeat 50% 28%, url(http://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/t_logo-a.png) no-repeat 50% 60%;
border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
}
You can only do this in CSS 3 (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/423172/can-i-have-multiple-background-images-using-css)
body {
background-image: url(images/bgtop.png), url(images/bg.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x, repeat;
}
I agree with LiamB's solution to this if you have the ability to only support browsers that are compatible with CSS 3.
However, if you need to support more browsers than that I recommend you solve this problem by having 2 divs. Both divs will be positioned on top of each other. The div positioned below contains only a background image. The div positioned on top contains another background image (positioned to look as if it is below the background image from the other div) and any content you want to have.
OK, this one works, the ocean picture shows up in the background but repeated 4 times to fill entire screen.
<style type="text/css">
body {background-image:url('ocean.png');}
</style>
<body>
</body>
Then change to
body {background-image:url('ocean.png') no-repeat center center;}
Now nothing shows up background picturewise.
Here's how you can do this and stretch it to the full height/width of the screen (note: if it is not the right proportion, some distortion will occur):
body {
background-image: url(ocean.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
IIRC, background-size and being able to write url(...) without quotes are part of the CSS3 standard.
Because background-image can't take more paramters - change it to background: url..., which is the correct property to set all of those in one line.
body {background: url('ocean.png') no-repeat center center;}
Try it this way:
body {
background: url('ocean.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center;
}
You can size the background image in the background property as follows:
background: url('ocean.png') no-repeat top center 100% auto;
or
background-size:100% auto;
The first parameter is for the width, the second for the height. The first example will put the image top center and stretch it to fill the browser window in width, and set the height proportionately. You can also use "cover" in place of "100% auto" and the browser will fill the image in whatever way it needs to to fill your background.
Note: this is CSS3, and as such the background-size propery will only work in newer browsers, IE9, Firefox 4, ect.
I want that my background image stretch and scale depending on the browser viewport size.
I've seen some questions on Stack Overflow that do the job, like Stretch and scale CSS background for example. It works well, but I want to place the image using background, not with an img tag.
In that one an img tag is placed, and then with CSS we tribute to the img tag.
width:100%; height:100%;
It works, but that question is a bit old, and states that in CSS 3 resizing a background image will work pretty well. I've tried this example the first one, but it didn't work out for me.
Is there a good method to do it with the background-image declaration?
CSS3 has a nice little attribute called background-size:cover.
This scales the image so that the background area is completely covered by the background image while maintaining the aspect ratio. The entire area will be covered. However, part of the image may not be visible if the width/height of the resized image is too large.
You could use the CSS3 property to do it quite nicely. It resizes to ratio so no image distortion (although it does upscale small images). Just note, it's not implemented in all browsers yet.
background-size: 100%;
Using the code I mentioned...
HTML
<div id="background">
<img src="img.jpg" class="stretch" alt="" />
</div>
CSS
#background {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
z-index: -1; /* Ensure div tag stays behind content; -999 might work, too. */
}
.stretch {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
That produces the desired effect: only the content will scroll, not the background.
The background image resizes to the browser viewport for any screen size. When the content doesn't fit the browser viewport, and the user needs to scroll the page, the background image remains fixed in the viewport while the content scrolls.
With CSS 3 it seems this would be a lot easier.
CSS:
html,body {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover; /* For WebKit*/
-moz-background-size: cover; /* Mozilla*/
-o-background-size: cover; /* Opera*/
background-size: cover; /* Generic*/
}
background-size: 100% 100%;
stretches the background to fill the entire element on both axes.
The following CSS part should stretch the image with all browsers.
I do this dynamically for each page. Therefore I use PHP to generate its own HTML tag for each page. All the pictures are in the 'image' folder and end with 'Bg.jpg'.
<html style="
background: url(images/'.$pic.'Bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=\'images/'.$pic.'Bg.jpg\', sizingMethod=\'scale\');
-ms-filter: \"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=\'images/'.$pic.'Bg.jpg\', sizingMethod=\'scale\')\
";>
If you have only one background picture for all pages then you may remove the $pic variable, remove escaping back-slashes, adjust paths and place this code in your CSS file.
html{
background: url(images/homeBg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='images/homeBg.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
-ms-filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='images/homeBg', sizingMethod='scale');
}
This was tested with Internet Explorer 9, Chrome 21, and Firefox 14.
Use this CSS:
background: url('img.png') no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
You can actually achieve the same effect as a background image with the img tag. You just have to set its z-index lower than everything else, set position:absolute and use a transparent background for every box in the foreground.
You can add this class into your CSS file.
.stretch {
background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
It works in:
Safari 3 or later
Chrome Whatever or later
Internet Explorer 9 or later
Opera 10 or later (Opera 9.5 supported background-size, but not the keywords)
Firefox 3.6 or later (Firefox 4 supports non-vendor prefixed version)
It is explained by CSS tricks: Perfect Full Page Background Image
Demo: https://css-tricks.com/examples/FullPageBackgroundImage/progressive.php
Code:
body {
background: url(images/myBackground.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
In order to scale your images appropriately based on the container size, use the following:
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
I use this, and it works with all browsers:
<html>
<head>
<title>Stretched Background Image</title>
<style type="text/css">
/* Remove margins from the 'html' and 'body' tags, and ensure the page takes up full screen height. */
html, body {height:100%; margin:0; padding:0;}
/* Set the position and dimensions of the background image. */
#page-background {position:fixed; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;}
/* Specify the position and layering for the content that needs to appear in front of the background image. Must have a higher z-index value than the background image. Also add some padding to compensate for removing the margin from the 'html' and 'body' tags. */
#content {position:relative; z-index:1; padding:10px;}
</style>
<!-- The above code doesn't work in Internet Explorer 6. To address this, we use a conditional comment to specify an alternative style sheet for IE 6. -->
<!--[if IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
html {overflow-y:hidden;}
body {overflow-y:auto;}
#page-background {position:absolute; z-index:-1;}
#content {position:static;padding:10px;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
</head>
<body>
<div id="page-background"><img src="http://www.quackit.com/pix/milford_sound/milford_sound.jpg" width="100%" height="100%" alt="Smile"></div>
<div id="content">
<h2>Stretch that Background Image!</h2>
<p>This text appears in front of the background image. This is because we've used CSS to layer the content in front of the background image. The background image will stretch to fit your browser window. You can see the image grow and shrink as you resize your browser.</p>
<p>Go on, try it - resize your browser!</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I wanted to center and scale a background image, without stretching it to the entire page, and I wanted the aspect ratio to be maintained. This worked for me, thanks to the variations suggested in other answers:
INLINE IMAGE: ------------------------
<div id="background">
<img src="img.jpg" class="stretch" alt="" />
</div>
CSS ----------------------------------
html {
height:100%;
}
#background {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
z-index: -1;
}
.stretch {
margin: auto;
height:100%;
}
Thanks!
But then it was not working for the Google Chrome and Safari browsers (stretching worked, but the hight of the pictures was only 2 mm!), until someone told me what lacks:
Try to set height:auto;min-height:100%;
So change that for your height:100%; line, gives:
#### #background {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
z-index: -1;
}
.stretch {
width:100%;
height:auto;
min-height:100%;
}
Just before that newly added code I have this in my Drupal Tendu themes style.css:
html, body{height:100%;}
#page{background:#ffffff; height:auto !important;height:100%;min-height:100%;position:relative;}
Then I have to make a new block within Drupal with the picture while adding class=stretch:
< img alt="" class="stretch" src="pic.url" />
Just copying a picture with the editor in that Drupal block doesn't work; one has to change the editor to non-formatted text.
I agree with the image in absolute div with 100% width and height. Make sure you set 100% width and height for the body in the CSS and set margins and padding to zero. Another issue you will find with this method is that when selecting text, the selection area can sometimes encompass the background image, which has the unfortunate effect of making the full page have the selected state. You can get round this by using the user-select:none CSS rule, like so:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html,body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%
margin: none;
padding: none;
}
#background {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
z-index: -99999;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-o-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
}
#background img {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#main{ z-index:10;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
content here
</div>
<div id="background"><img src="bg.jpg"></div>
</body>
</html>
Again, Internet Explorer is the bad guy here, because it doesn't recognise the user-select option - not even Internet Explorer 10 preview supports it, so you have the option of either using JavaScript to prevent background image selection (for example, http://www.felgall.com/jstip35.htm ) or using CSS 3 background-stretch method.
Also, for SEO I would put the background image at the bottom of the page, but if the background image takes too long to load (that is, with a white background initially), you could move to the top of the page.
I used a combination of the background-X CSS properties to achieve the ideal scaling background image.
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
background-attachment: fixed;
This makes the background always cover the entire browser window and remains centered when scaling.
Use the Backstretch plugin. One could even have several images slide. It also works within containers. This way for example one could have only a portion of the background been covered with an background image.
Since even I could get it to work proves it to be an easy to use plugin :).
The following worked for me.
.back-ground {
background-image: url("../assets/background.png");
background-size: 100vw 100vh;
}
that worked to cover the entire background on different dimensions
If you want to have the content centered horizontally, use a combination like this:
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
This will look beautiful.
Use this CSS:
background-size: 100% 100%
You can use the border-image : yourimage property to scale the image up to the border. Even if you give the background-image, the border image will be drawn over it.
The border-image property is very useful if your style sheet is implemented somewhere which doesn't support CSS 3. If you are using Google Chrome or Firefox, then I recommend the background-size:cover property itself.
Do you want to achieve this just using one image? Because you can actually make somewhat similar to a stretching background using two images. PNG images for instance.
I've done this before, and it's not that hard. Besides, I think stretching would just harm the quality of the background. And if you add a huge image it would slow down slow computers and browsers.
