I am trying to use a background that surround the content area (just a bit of shading on both sides) as seen here: http://i.imgur.com/5X5D7.jpg
I left room in the middle for the fixed width layout which is 980px.
My body css is just this:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: url(../images/bg.jpg) center repeat-y;
}
It looks good on the homepage that has no content on it. But when I go to a test page that has a few paragraphs typed out and the scroll bars appear in my browser, there is a slight white line that appears to divide the background and the content area.
I tried shifting the background image shading by a pixel but then it does not work on the homepage..
Is there something else I can be doing in the css to prevent this?
I should say I am trying this in drupal with the zen theme and have not really changed anything else.
Made a jsfiddle for you: http://jsfiddle.net/Ja2SR/
Essentially I think you're looking at the browser trying to divine 1px in two, which it can never do. I don't really understand why it is an issue, though - the line appears inside the content area, which in the fiddle you can see as white next to red, but if your content area is white also, and has padding on both sides, which I assume it does... then having 1 more pixel shouldn't be too bad. Correct me if I'm assuming wrongly!

What I want to achieve:
I am doing the very familiar CSS zen garden however I can't seem to get the image to float like this. I want it at the top of the page and to stay at the top like a toolbar like stackoverflow has mounted to the top of the page.
Unfortunately, any time I try to display my image it is not only behind the text but also far too large. I only see about 1/3rd of my image. If I try to scale it in any way then it disappears completely. I have seen that other people do this with the added <divs> but I am told that I should use ::before to do this ....either way I can't get either to even display my image ...the only thing that does barely work is ...
body{
background: url("../CSSMidterm/Header.png") center;
}
but as I said that displays 1/3rd of the image....any idea how I can rectify this situation?
To make it clear, I am asking how to mount an image to the top of a webpage using ONLY CSS no touching HTML at all. I want it to be fairly similar to the toolbar at the top of Stack Overflow own page.
You can try this
body {
background : transparent url("../CSSMidterm/Header.png") no-repeat center center/cover;
}

I am helping a friend setup a web site for his company. At the top of the page, below the navigation bar, I have a background image of a house that is set to 100% width, image size is 2400px x 1602px. My problem is how to control the image so that the house is always front and center. I also need to keep the height at (or around) 75vh.
I have tried using background-size: cover and contain, as well as setting background-positions. But with the way cover works, the house is not always centered. Especially when browser width is larger--then only the roof of the house is visible. Next I tried using the aspect ratio of the image for padding. This works well, but does not allow me to set height (as far as I can tell) so with larger screens I end up with the height being way to big.
Was hoping someone might have a suggestion that would help me out and point me in the right direction. What I would like to have in the end is an image of a house where the house is always viewable and also be able to keep the height # 75vh. I have a feeling that media queries may be my answer, but wanted some advice before I continue on that path. Also wasn't sure if I need to crop my image to limit the height? I have tried so many different things that I am not sure how to proceed. Thank you for any suggestion, I really appreciate it.
I think the background cover image is the right approach, you might just have something wron gin your code that is not centering the image and that is why you only see the roof (top part of the image I assume) instead of the middle part in very panoramic screens.
Here is the code I would use:
This is the HTML
<div class="header">Your menu and other header stuff goes here</div>
<div class="bg_image" style="background: url('https://www.marriedwithmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/house-1024x698.jpeg') center center / cover no-repeat;"></div>
And this is the CSS
.header {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background-color: #ccc;
}
.bg_image {
width: 100%;
height: 75vh;
}
and here is a working example which does what you inted if I understood your situation correctly https://codepen.io/anon/pen/REerRR
Actually my first question on stack:)
I'm trying to get a negative (right) margin on my repeating background, so there won't be a gap between the repeating images.
It seems there is no css syntax for this.
To make things clear, i added an image below. So i'm trying to get the repeating images of the cookie-like things to overlap so there's no gap between them.
screenshot of the page
You can apply multiple backgrounds to an element, so why not use this background image twice, with different horizontal offsets.
body {
min-height:170px;
background:
url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/jKAKB.png') 0 100% repeat-x,
url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/jKAKB.png') 75px 100% repeat-x;
}
PS the cookie like things are called kruidnoten. Although everybody calls then pepernoten, which is not actually true.
I've made my own static website from scratch using html5 and css(3) only.But I have got 2 issues.
The first one is the white space between the top's menu and header's image bottom.I've tried everything.
Maybe the only solution for that is float:left; but then the image goes into the navigation tag or negative value on margin's property but I've heard that this technique is bad.
The second issue I'll display via image http://www.filedropper.com/discoversite that's my simple WebSite. I know my css is awful but I'm still a beginner. The second issue is here. http://postimg.org/image/5adp6379d/ . As you can see the text is going out of the box. (I am using % in css for more responsive). I will be glad if anyone can help me.
I can only have a guess for your first issue as I don't know the exact code for your website (create jsfiddle :D ). Try to apply vertical-align: bottom; or display: block; to your header image. Why? Because images are placed like text and some letters like g, j, q and p are going underneath the bottom level. Your browser will leave a tiny space for these letters. Also setting a min-width is a good solution like Kirk Logan said.
And for your second problem there are multiple solutions (depending on what you want):
You can handle your content with overflow: hidden; or overflow: scroll as Kirk Logan suggested. But this wouldn't make any sense in the case you have shown us in the picture.
Or (is a little more complex) you could remove the white borders on the left and right side (just when the screen is too small) in order to gain more space for the text. This can be done by:
#media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
#BigBorder1 { border-width: 0px; }
#BigBorder2 { border-width: 0px; }
}
Everthing inside the outer brackets will only be applied when the screen's width is smaller than 768px. But to be honest this is usually done the other way round: When the screen is bigger than 768px then something happens. This simplification is only in order to make it easier for you.
I've got this peculiar bug I've been trying to fix today—-still no luck.
If you look at the example below,
http://vitaliyg.com/alpha/hire/
Here's what happens. The full-width background image loads in the correct position, centered along the y axis. Then when we hover over the image, the whole image jumps over to the middle, and slowly adjusts itself back to it's normal desired position.
What's causing this is left: 50%; margin-left: -960px;. This allows us to center the image correctly to begin with. If we didn't have this CSS, the hover wouldn't jump, but the image would load anchoring itself on the top left of the browser.
In the link above, the red box is the content div. The blue box is some text that will be parallaxing with the background-image.
Here is what I am trying to achieve:
Make the background-image appear centered.
When the user hovers over the background-image, it would not jump to the middle of the page.
And lastly, decrease the width of which the user would be able to "parallax" on the x axis. The way it is now, is that the user can see from side to side of the image if patient enough. I want the parallax to be very subtle.
Also, I'm using jParallax, found here:
http://stephband.info/jparallax/
Thank you for your help!
Once you set the position via CSS for the background image, it seems jQuery Parallax plugin alters those settings. The solution then is to apply those settings after the jQuery Parallax has dealt with that parallax layer.
First, remove the margin-left and left from your .parallax-layer#background class.
.parallax-layer#background {
background-image: url('../images/bg.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center bottom;
width: 1920px;
height: 620px;
}
Ideally, center the blue box using the same method (unless you want it partially off screen). I've also removed non essential CSS based on your HTML.
.parallax-layer#tagline {
background-color: blue;
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
}
Finally, add the CSS rules that were removed from the background and tagline selectors so they are applied after jQuery Parallax has manipulated those items.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#parallax .parallax-layer')
.parallax({
mouseport: jQuery('body')
});
jQuery('#background').css({marginLeft: "-960px", left: "50%", bottom: "0px"});
jQuery('#tagline').css({marginLeft: "-200px", left: "50%"});
});
You no longer will see the large white section (body background color) to the left of the background image when the mouse enters the viewport.
This jQuery Parallax plugin aligns everything top/left by design. If the mouse enters the
viewport from the right of the blue box, that box animates to that location correctly.
However, should the mouse enter from the left side of the blue box, that box will 'jump' to the cursors location. You might consider removing the last jQuery line above so the blue box is top/left upon browser load or use a lower percentage value like 25%.
For those that landed on this Question/Answer and wanted some real markup to work with, I have set up two jsFiddles. One jsFiddle duplicated the problem and the other has the solution as shown above.
Original Problem - jsFiddle
Fixed Applied - jsFiddle
Both jsFiddles are in full screen mode so the Parallax effects can be seen.
Instructions to view Original Problem:
1. Launch the above Original Problem jsFiddle Link.
2. Press the jsFiddle Play Button, being careful not to enter the viewport. If the blue box moves in any way... you've entered the viewport so press the play button again.
3. Enter from the top/left of the viewport and you will see the problem... the HTML Body (white color) is seen as the background image readjusts itself.
4. Press the Play Button at any time to reset the webpage.
To see the Fixed Applied, either launch the link above or at the Browsers Address Bar modify the URL so you see revision 1 of that jsFiddle. (i.e., http://jsfiddle.net/UG4Sq/1/embedded/result/ )
The blue box indicates via text which jsFiddle your viewing. Cheers!
