Firefox CSS image box - css

This CSS code does work in all browsers except FireFox. Why ? How can I fix it ?
.img_box {
width: 110px;
height: 160px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-image: url('https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png');
}
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
Here is the HTML that I want to use:
<img class="img_box" />

When Firefox encounters an image without a source, it replaces the image with its alt text. I personally find this extremely annoying, as it means I can't test layouts unless I specifically create placeholder images, and should those images be unavailable for any reason the layout completely breaks.
Unfortunately, I have yet to find a solution to this problem.
In your case, however, you would be much better off using a div and adding display:inline-block to your CSS, instead of using an image.

solution1:
.img_box {
width: 110px;
height: 160px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-image: url('https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png');
display: block;
}
solution2:
<div class="img_box"></div>

Image not covering container on smaller resolutions

I tried solving the problem myself, but I can't do it.
Go to my site here:
http://digesale.com/
And scroll down to the footer. Just above the footer you will see an image. It's the one that says "Get Things Done, Start Buying," etc. That's the image I have a problem with...
On my browser/resolution it looks perfectly aligned, but a friend told me that on his resolution it doesn't cover the entire space left-to-right. If you press "Ctrl+-" on your keyboard you'll see the problem.
This is the code I use to put that image there:
<img style="margin-bottom: -20px;" src="http://digesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/digesale-buy-how-it-works.png" alt="Digesale - How it works!" height="300" width="1350">
Can anyone help me make that image cover the whole width of that section so that it looks good even on smaller screen resolutions?
Thank you.
If you need to cover you can use the image as a background:
<div class="background"></div>
and in the css
.background {
background: url(http://digesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/digesale-buy-how-it-works.png) top left no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
The important part is background-size: cover because it fill the entire div in all cases.
EDIT
If you want another behaviour, you can use your old img tag
<img src="http://digesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/digesale-buy-how-it-works.png" alt="Digesale - How it works!" class="responsive-img">
And the css
.responsive-img {
margin-bottom: -20px; /* this was writting in inline style. */
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
Try the below CSS
.background {
background: url(http://digesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/digesale-buy-how-it-works.png) top left no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
width: 100%;
height: 26vw;
}

Prevent chrome cutting off background images on body when using background-position

I have a background image of a paper airplane on the body tag of this page: http://cogo.goodfolk.co.nz. The very tip of it is being cut off - if you resize the browser window the full image pops back in.
It's only happening in Chrome, and isn't consistent, if you refresh sometimes, or even hover over sometimes it's fine. If I remove all the background styles (background position and no-repeat) then the whole image is there - but of course isn't positioned correctly. It's also happening on other pages of my website (eg http://cogo.goodfolk.co.nz/online-surveying).
After days of debugging/searching I can't find anything that refers to this issue and/or fixes it - is it possibly a Chrome bug with background-position?
Any ideas or workarounds? Thank you!
//EDITED//
The relevant code is pasted below, although obviously this is pretty standard so it must be something else in the site that's causing the problem:
.home {
background: url("../img/airplane.jpg") no-repeat center;
background-size: 70%;
background-position: 10% 98%;
}
The background image is set to center, so this is expected behaviour, depending on window size. You could change this CSS declaration from:
.home {
background: url("../img/airplane.jpg") no-repeat center;
background-size: 70%;
}
To:
.home {
background: url("../img/airplane.jpg") no-repeat center top;
background-size: 70%;
}
This would anchor the image to the top of the screen, meaning it would not clip, but this may not be the behaviour you are looking for.
To complicate matters, you also have this, which is probably contributing to the problem. I would suggest removing it entirely:
#media (min-width: 1200px)
.home {
background-position: 20% -10%;
}
Yay thanks to everyone who left suggestions, fortunately I've figured out a workaround! I managed to pretty much keep the background styles the same, and just placed everything in a :before pseudo element on the body tag. You can check out the updated code at cogo.goodfolk.co.nz if you're interested, or it's pasted here:
.home {
position: relative;
min-height: 860px;
}
.home:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: url("../img/airplane.jpg") no-repeat center;
background-size: 70%;
background-position: 50% 15%;
}
Set the display to "inline-table".

how to make an empty span collapse

I have this fiddle I'm playing with to crop and center an image. It works quite well, but I would need the wrapping div.test to have the same width of the image. This is not possible: if I set the width of the img to 300px the magic does not work. I think it's because of the span I use to center the image. I think it leaves a kind of space footprint (maybe the space between letters or words?).
So: how to make its space effects "invisibles"?
Update
My original purpose was: resize the image horizontally and crop-and-center vertically + compatibility from IE8 >. All done with CSS. The solution linked above is almost close to the solution, but not perfect (the little space on the left). That's why I asked for a fix on it.
I am not positive if I am understanding your dilemma, however, I think something like this may be what you are looking for. Here is the link to JSFiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/bUrmK/2/).
HTML:
<div class="test">
<div class="before">
</div>
CSS:
.test {
background-color: grey;
overflow: hidden;
width: 300px;
}
.before {
background-image: url("http://www.news.giudicarie.com/images/Inaugurazione_Muse_Museo_della_Scienze_di_Trento.JPG");
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-position: center;
background-size: cover;
/*This will allow for LTE IE-8*/
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src="http://www.news.giudicarie.com/images/Inaugurazione_Muse_Museo_della_Scienze_di_Trento.JPG", sizingMethod='scale');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=""http://www.news.giudicarie.com/images/Inaugurazione_Muse_Museo_della_Scienze_di_Trento.JPG", sizingMethod='scale')";
}
I get it now, you can use a single div:
HTML
<div class="cropped"></div>
CSS
.cropped{
background-image: url("http://www.news.giudicarie.com/images/Inaugurazione_Muse_Museo_della_Scienze_di_Trento.JPG");
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
background-position: center;
background-size: cover;
}

HTML5 boilerplate background-image doesn't show

I'm making a website with HTML5Boilerplate, but every time I use the css background or background-image property, the image doesn't show up.
Folders:
root/css/style.css
root/img_files/logo.png
My css code looks like this:
#logo {
position: absolute;
left: 20px;
top: 10px;
width: 164px;
height: 42px;
background: url(../img_files/logo.png);
background-repeat: none;
}
My stylesheet is properly added to the page:
I can't add a single background image to the objects on the page. HTML5Boilerplate has been installed, so maybe that't the problem, I'm not sure. Do you know why correct CSS and HTML doesn't display the images?
Change
background-repeat: none;
to
background-repeat: no-repeat;
Or just use
background: url(../img_files/logo.png) no-repeat;
I've just come to the same problem and discovered that in case you'll change ID from #logo to anything else (in HTML and CSS of course), then the same code will start to work. Can't say what has been "blocking" #logo to be used, but for now I don't have enough time to discover where the problem is.
Solution for now is to use anything else than #logo, eg. #logoTop or #siteLogo
Hope that helps.
EDIT: It was a selector typo problem which caused browser had ignored that. Weird was it had not happened when selector was changed to some other name than #logo. Please note that #logo:visible typo (instead of visited)
#logo, #logo:link, #logo:visited,
#logo:active, #logo:focus, #logo:hover
{
display: block;
width: 340px;
height: 150px;
background: url(../images/design-elements.png) 0 -300px no-repeat;
}
I had the same problem & found out that if without the width & height property, image will not display.

CSS not working in Firefox 2.0

my site looks right in new browsers, but it won't display the background of the main container in older ones.
here is the css that should put the background there:
#container {
background-image:url('photo.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 541px;
width:1020px;
margin: auto;
position: relative;
}
What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
am not sure if I am right, but try thiss
background: url('photo.png') no-repeat;
Try using an absolute path. You can also ignore Firefox 2.0, which is not used by anyone today.
