CSS Background 100% Height Problem - css

Live example of background issue: http://webid3.feckcorp.com/
As you can see the gray stripped background image flows over the bottom of the footer and leaves about 115 extra pixels below the footer. The div that contains the background image is <div id="home_page_back"> and is contained within the body element, both of which are set at a height of 100%.
I want the background image to hit the footer and then stop … not go any further past it. Can someone please advise?
Also - I do not want to place the image as a background of the body.
Cheers!
Copy of the CSS:
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height:100%;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px;
color: #333333;
}
#home_page_back {
background:#9C9D9B url(http://templatemints.com/rttheme13/images/background_images/abstract_background7.jpg) top center no-repeat !important;
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: -1;
position: absolute;
}

I think it's the way you structured your markup, actually. Place the content below
<div id="home_page_back" style="display: block;"></div>
inside of it, remove the 100% height rule and replace it with overflow:hidden. The content will expand that div out to see the background image. As it stands now, you've made it a separate, absolutely positioned div and given it 100% height, which makes it at big as the background image you have inside it, and it expands beyond any of the content coming after it because that content now ignores it in the layout (because it's positioned absolutely.) At least that's the theory I'm going with :)

If you want the height 100% to work like that, give the body element 100% height, and the html element also 100% height.

Add overflow: hidden; to your body css.
And please, try validating your html before doing anything else and before looking for help.

#feck; may you have want an sticky footer check this answer .

Use:
#home_page_back {
background:#9C9D9B url(http://templatemints.com/rttheme13/images/background_images/abstract_background7.jpg) top center no-repeat !important;
padding-bottom: 30px;
}
Wrap "home_page_back" div around "content" div in the html instead.
Remove margin-top from #footer css.
Then, if you want it, you can add the space after the footer.

Image Not Staying Within Parent Div

I am trying to make some responsive cards. I have the cards completed and spaced out properly. On the front of the cards I want an image on the top of the cards and a title in the middle. The title is fine and the image is fine except for the right side of the image.
Here is the CSS code for the image (image is in an img tag in HTML page with a class of "image"):
div .image {
padding: 5%;
height: 45%;
width: 100%;
}
The right side for some reason is ignoring the padding and sticking out of the card parent div. Any ideas why?
did you already set div's width?
also as far i know is no need to set image's height if you already set it's width to 100%
anyway here some example
div { width: 200px; height: 150px; padding: 6px; }
div img { width: 100%; }
You set the width to be 100% and padding 5%. Make sure you have:
box-sizing: border-box;
for the parent.
Also without the full example of code, hard to answer. Can use overflow: hidden; on the parent to hide that part sticking out.

Multiple div, each one with 100% height

I have a page with a lot of layers for the background (five layers) which should cover the entire page content (100% height and div).
Each layer has these properties:
position:relative;
width: 100%;
height:100%;
min-height: 100%;
These properties are OK if the page content is short: the divs have an height of 100% of the window, so it's ok.
The problem is when the page is longer (look the following example). The layers have a 100% height of the browser window, not the actual content height.
That's because (I suppose) of the height:100% property. Removing it, it's fine for long pages, but not for shorter ones.
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/cfMHm/
How can I fix this?
In the tag where your content is being displayed, you could add the CSS property overflow
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_overflow.asp
You can use it to trim the excess content, or add a scrollbar.
EX.
.class {
overflow:auto;
}
what about scrolling the longer content
#actual_page {
width: 990px;
margin: 0px auto;
height:100%;
overflow:scroll;
background-color: pink;
}
fiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/Jammycoder/cfMHm/1/
Instead of
height:100%
You can try:
min-height: 50% (or whatever you need it to be).
See the cyan here:

Remove the height:100% from your layers CSS.

How to give footer background color for the whole width of the browser with fixed parent div

I am working on Bootstrap theme where its responsive. I disable the responsiveness on a child theme by adding a code in functions.php. All works well , no problem.
Now the parent container, is now fixed:
HTML:
<div class="container">
CSS:
.container{width: 940px;}
But I would like the footer section to have sitewide background color. How do I able to do this?
I have tried setting different methods like width:auto, width: 200% ,but its not giving me the desired result.
Supposing this is the footer section:
<footer>
My footer
</footer>
My attempted CSS on a child theme(not working)
footer {
background: #CCCCCC;
width:100% !important;
position:absolute !important;
}
Also is this possible without setting too many !important on CSS property? Thanks.
If your footer is inside the div.container which has width:940px; then giving your footer 100% width will make it 940px wide.
You need to have the footer outside the container to give it 100% width of the body.
When you give 100% width, the element gets its container's width. So in your code, even with the important keyword, it'll get the container's width (because that what 100% is supposed to do).
Just take the footer outside of the container.
Then it'll work and you won't need this !important keyword.
As others have mentioned, removing the footer from the parent container of .container will allow the width of it to be the entire size of the viewport/document.
If you are unable to change this level of structure of the HTML due to your template, you can fake the width using pseudo-elements, like so:
footer {
position: relative;
background-color: lightblue; /* Match the color of the body background */
}
footer::before, footer::after {
content:"";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 9999px;
/* some huge width */
background-color: inherit;
}
footer::before {
right: 100%;
}
footer::after {
left: 100%;
}
See jsFiddle.

CSS Div Footer When Resize The Browser

I working on a page with a footer. The footer's positioning is like it should, but I have an problem when i resize the browser from bottom to top. For details, you can see the image below :
Here it's my css footer code :
.footer_page {
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
bottom: 30px;
width:100%;
position:absolute;
}
Someone have an suggestions ?
Thanks.
The bottom 30px signifies bottom of the window. Calculate the distance from top you need your footer to have and give
top:500px
A better way is to give a large div id="page" around your entire page with required height, say 1000 px, and then footer with bottom 30px.
#page{position:absolute;height:1000px}
#page #footer{position:absolute;bottom:30px}
If this seems too much or height of page is variable, let footer be part of flow of the document.In such cases it is better not to use absolute positioning.
You can also do this with some javascript magic.
What I am saying is, suppose total height of your page is 1000px. Put a wrapper around entire page with id page, give absolute positioning and height 1000px, then put footer in the end.
If you mean that the footer doesn't stay fixed to the bottom, try
.footer_page, .push {
clear: both;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
bottom: 30px;
width:100%;
position:absolute;
}
so adding .push and clear:both.

Can a background image be larger than the div itself?

I have a footer div with 100% width. It's about 50px high, depending on its content.
Is it possible to give that #footer a background image that kind of overflows this div?
The image is about 800x600px, and I want it to be positioned in the left bottom corner of the footer. It should work sort of like a background image for my website, but I've already set a background image on my body. I need another image positioned at the bottom left corner of my website and the #footer div would be perfect for that.
#footer {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 30px 0 0;
background:#eee url(images/bodybgbottomleft.png) no-repeat left bottom fixed;
}
The image is set to the footer, however it doesn't overflow the div. Is it possible to make that happen?
overflow:visible doesn't do the job!
There is a very easy trick. Set padding of that div to a positive number and margin to negative
#wrapper {
background: url(xxx.jpeg);
padding-left: 10px;
margin-left: -10px;
}
I do not believe that you can make a background image overflow its div. Images placed in Image tags can overflow their parent div, but background images are limited by the div for which they are the background.
You can use a css3 psuedo element (:before and/or :after) as shown in this article
https://www.exratione.com/2011/09/how-to-overflow-a-background-image-using-css3/
Good Luck...
No, you can't.
But as a solid workaround, I would suggest to classify that first div as position:relative and use div::before to create an underlying element containing your image. Classified as position:absolute you can move it anywhere relative to your initial div.
Don't forget to add content to that new element. Here's some example:
div {
position: relative;
}
div::before {
content: ""; /* empty but necessary */
position: absolute;
background: ...
}
Note: if you want it to be 'on top' of the parent div, use div::after instead.
Using background-size cover worked for me.
#footer {
background-color: #eee;
background-image: url(images/bodybgbottomleft.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 30px 0 0;
}
Obviously be aware of support issues, check Can I Use: http://caniuse.com/#search=background-size
Use trasform: scale(1.1) property to make bg image bigger, move it up with position: relative; top: -10px;
<div class="home-hero">
<div class="home-hero__img"></div>
</div>
.home-hero__img{
position:relative;
top:-10px;
transform: scale(1.1);
background: {
size: contain;
image: url('image.svg');
}
}
You mention already having a background image on body.
You could set that background image on html, and the new one on body. This will of course depend upon your layout, but you wouldn't need to use your footer for it.
Not really - the background image is bounded by the element it's applied to, and the overflow properties only apply to the content (i.e. markup) within an element.
You can add another div into your footer div and apply the background image to that, though, and have that overflow instead.
This could help.
It requires the footer height to be a fixed number. Basically, you have a div inside the footer div with it's normal content, with position: absolute, and then the image with position: relative, a negative z-index so it stays "below" everything, and a negative top value of the footer's height minus the image height (in my example, 50px - 600px = -550px). Tested in Chrome 8, FireFox 3.6 and IE 9.
