I have a div tag like
<div id="MainMenu1" dojotype="dijit.layout.ContentPane"></div>
This div is associated with a css like
#MainMenu1
{
height:53px;
background: url(../images/top_banner.png) no-repeat;
background-position:center;
margin:auto;
width:100%;
border:0;
}
I see that the background image is fine on a smaller screen but on a wider screen, it occupies only the center position. I want the image to occupy the full screen even on wider screens and I do not want the image to "repeat".
How would I do this?
#MainMenu1
{
height:53px;
margin:auto;
width:100%;
border:0;
background: url(../images/top_banner.png) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Try this. It works perfectly for me. It should fit the background perfectly in the center and reasonably stretch it to whatever screen size the website is being viewed on.
You can either let the image repeat meaning it covers the whole space or use background-size: cover which will scale it to cover the whole area while keeping the original aspect ratio of the image.

Right now my wordpress site is set up so the images scale when the screen size changes. I was hoping that, instead, the image can remain at a specific size in the center of the screen and become cropped equally on the left and right when the screen size changes.
I have tried max-width:none but that doesn't keep and crop the image in the center of the page.

The image in question is the only image on the home page. I only know CSS so I was hoping there is a CSS solution.
Example of what i'm taking about: https://gatewaydemo.wordpress.com/
Thanks for the help.
The general idea is to not use an image, and make that image the background-image of that hero section instead. So delete the img tag and add something like this CSS to .sow-image-container height: 400px; background: url(https://zxndesignco.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/HomeImg.jpg) center top; background-size: cover
body{
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center fixed;
background-image:url(https://zxndesignco.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/HomeImg.jpg);
background-attachment:fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
height: 100%;
}
.white{
font-size: 24px;
color: #fff;
}
<div>
<p class="white">Here are some words</p>
</div>
Usually in the body or in a div. I like this group because it covers all the browser bases.
I have a map image which I would like to use as the background for my website. I would like it to cover the whole background (no white space, no scroll bars - most of the time, more on that later). However, there is a section of the map which I would like to never be cropped as I plan to overlay it with other information.
I have tried the following css:
html {
background: url('../images/doreyfarmfullbackgroundempty2.png') no-repeat 90% 60% local;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
height:100%;
}
Can be seen in this fiddle. The section I'd like to keep is the large yellowish section to the right of the image.
This works quite well for keeping the section of my background image in the frame most of the time but it still gets cut out when the window is resized to very short or very wide. In this situation I would like scroll bars to be introduced so that the whole 'focal point' can still be seen.
I know this is pretty niche but I was wondering if anyone can see a neat way of doing this?
If you know the size of you background pic, set min-witdh and min-height with that.
html{
background: url('http://s2.postimg.org/kzwt9n34p/doreyfarmfullbackgroundempty2.png') ;
min-width:1000px;
min-height:300px;
}
Updated Fiddle
Place the background image in a container, and give it a minimum width and height, with overflow set to auto. So when the size of the browser forces the container to be smaller than you'd like, scroll bars appear allowing the user to pan the map.
<div class="map"></div>
and your CSS:
div.map {
background: url('http://s2.postimg.org/kzwt9n34p/doreyfarmfullbackgroundempty2.png') no-repeat 90% 60% local;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
height:100%;
overflow: auto; <-- this will enable scrollbars on overflow
min-height: 400px; <-- adjust this to taste
min-width: 400px; <-- and this
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Update to your fiddle here:

You could always augment this with a bit of script to control the scroll position of the map, so that the portion you want visible is always in view.
Here's a jQuery library that does it with images instead of background-images:
https://github.com/jonom/jquery-focuspoint
It might not be the best answer in time but it seems to be for now. I'll post another answer if I have one for I think there might be a better way which I'm researching at the moment :)!
The background image on the website i'm working on (http://www.oatfoundry.com/) doesn't scale correctly for mobile devices. Everything else seems to work fine, but when the aspect ration gets below 537x542, the background image is replaced with a 400x800 grey placeholder. Any thoughts?
There's this rule in your media.css file :
#media screen and (max-width: 520px) {
#home {
width:100%;
height:100%;
color:#FFF;
background:url('http://www.placehold.it/1400x800')50% 80% no-repeat scroll !important;
background-position:center;
background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-attachment : fixed; /* FIXED FOR IE */}
Notice the background is set to a placeholder when the screen is under 520px wide... I found this by watching the computed layout of the #home section within Firebug, while resizing the viewport in Firefox Responsive Design View, just so you know.
I am trying to make a "background" image that both scales to fill the screen, and is fixed (i.e. does not scroll with rest of content.)
I started by trying to use a true background image:
background: url(http://i.imgur.com/DJaWd.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
But as you probably know, using this technique the image scrolls on iOS devices. So, I tried this approach using a CSS and a div:
CSS:
#fixedbg{
background:url('/images/contest_bkg.jpg') no-repeat center center;
position:fixed;
height:100%;
width:100%;
z-index:-1;
top:0;
}
The second approach does stop the image from scrolling, but the image displays 1:1, instead of scaling to fit the screen/viewport size. Any tips on how to get the image to scale while staying locked down?
Try this:
-webkit-background-size: 1600px 1060px;
Of course px is width height of your bakcground image
I am trying to achieve something like this with CSS:
I'd like to keep the body background image fixed on fullscreen, this is sort of done by the following code:
body
{
background: url(../img/beach.jpg) no-repeat fixed 100% 100%;
}
Now I can verify the window is indeed filled up with that image, at least this works on my Firefox 3.6
However, it screwed up when I tried to zoom in/out (ctrl+-/+), the image just is stretched/shrinked as the page zooms.
Is there a better way of doing this purely with CSS? I didn't find a good property for the background-image.
Or should I start thinking about jQuery to manipulate the width and height on the fly? They were both set to 100% so I reckon that should work "as always" :(
Thanks for any suggestion in advance!
there is another technique
use
background-size:cover
That is it
full set of css is
body {
background: url('images/body-bg.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Latest browsers support the default property.
I've used these techniques before and they both work well. If you read the pros/cons of each you can decide which is right for your site.
Alternatively you could use the full size background image jQuery plugin if you want to get away from the bugs in the above.
You can do quite a lot with plain css...the css property background-size can be set to a number of things as well as just cover as Ranjith pointed out.
The background-size: cover setting scales the image to cover the entire screen but may mean that some of the image is off screen if the aspect ratio of the screen and image are different.
A good alternative is background-size: contain which resizes the background image to fit the smaller of width and height, ensuring that the whole image is visible but may lead to letterboxing if the aspect ratios are different.
For example:
body {
background: url(/images/bkgd.png) no-repeat rgb(30,30,30) fixed center center;
background-size: contain;
}
The other options that I find less useful are:
background-size: length <widthpx> <heightpx> which sets the absolute size of the background image.
background-size: percentage <width> <height> background image is a percentage of the window size.
(see w3schools.com's page)
Add this in your css file:
.custom_class
{
background-image: url(../img/beach.jpg);
-moz-background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
and then, in your .html (or .php) file call this class like that:
<div class="custom_class">
...
</div>
Here is the simple code for full page background image when zooming
you just apply the width:100% in style/css thats it
position:absolute; width:100%;
Use Directly like this
.bg-div{
background: url(../img/beach.jpg) no-repeat fixed 100% 100%;
}
or call CSS separately like
.bg-div{
background-image: url(../img/beach.jpg);
-moz-background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
