In the second box, notice how the arrow is in the same place. How can I make it flow with the div?
Using scroll right center in the background property works but I want to keep some padding right.
I'm also trying to avoid using 2 divs or the tag. Is this possible just via the .box div?
.right-align-background {
background-position: center right;
}

You could also use background-origin: content-box; if your you would like your background to line up with the padding you set on the element.
Something like this:
input.error {
background: no-repeat;
background-image: url('../images/field-error.png');
background-position: right center;
background-origin: content-box;
padding-right: 5px;
}
How about adding the image using :after instead?
.box {
background: #a6cf83;
float:left;
color:#333;
font-weight:bold;
padding:8px;
}
.box:after {
content: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/humano2/24x24/actions/new-go-next.png);
}
Calc() has 95% browser support in the US now (September, 2017), and provides an elegant solution to this problem.
background-position: calc(100% - 24px) center;
If you need padding on the right, I think you might have to go with percentages :
background-position:95% 50%;
will do quite nicely if your elements are of similar width.

I created a <div> first thing in the <body> to draw a top line at the top of the page:
<body>
<div class="bordertop"></div>
.....
</body>
and the style:
body {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
margin:0;
}
.bordertop {
background-image: url(../images/top_border.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
However, the top_border image doesn't appear unless I write some text inside the <div> but I don't want to. How could I fix this?
Since the div is empty, there's no content to push it "open" leaving the div to be 0px tall. Set explicit dimensions on the div and you should see the background image.
.bordertop
{
background-image: url(../images/top_border.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
height: 100px;
width: 100%; /* may not be necessary */
}
You might need to set the css width and height of your <div> element to whatever size you want
.bordertop {
background-image: url(../images/top_border.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
}
Give the div a height:1px. That should work. Otherwise your div is 0px high, meaning you won't see anything.
You could also give it padding-top:1px
Another thing you could do is to set the background-image of the line on the body in your CSS. This is assuming the line is the entire width of the body.
See demo
As the answers above me suggest ^^' it's because it has virtually no size, you need either to put content inside to resize it or to set width/height or padding in css bordertop class, or you can put another empty inside it with set size. I was going to skip this answer since there are already answers but I just wanted to add that width/height is not your only option.
On a side note, oh man, people here posting so fast I sometimes wonder if its a race and what is the prize, there must be some, I guess helping other is itself great prize. :) When I was starting to type this there was no answer yet.
The best way I have found is:
for landscape:
width:100%;
height:0;
padding-top:[ratio]%;
for portrait:
width:[ratio]%;
height:0;
padding-top:100%;
You need to determine which side is longer and accept this dimension as 100%
then calculate [ratio] - percentage of shorter dimension in relation to 100% longer dimension. Then use the one of solutions above.
I had the same problem for quite some time, my solution was giving the style lines of: min-height. This opens the div to the height given if there is no elements inside. The height can get bigger with the more elements inside, but not smaller.
Example code:
.fixed-bg {
/* The background image */
background-image: url("img_tree.gif");
/* Set a specified height, or the minimum height for the background image */
min-height: 500px;
/* Set background image to fixed (don't scroll along with the page) */
background-attachment: fixed;
/* Center the background image */
background-position: center;
/* Set the background image to no repeat */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
/* Scale the background image to be as large as possible */
background-size: cover;
}
code gotten from https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-attachment.asp
If it is the only div element in the body use the following style to to make it occupy the full-width.
.bordertop {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background-image:
url('../images/top_border.png');
}
I couldn't get my background showing in the div even with the width set up. Turns out i had to put "../" in the url section then it showed the picture i was struggling for quite a while.
left {
width: 800px;
height: auto;
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
background-image: url("../img/loginpic.jpg");
background-size: cover;
border-top-left-radius: 4px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 4px;
background-color: crimson;
}
Otherwise, you can just open a <p></p> and in styles, remove the default margin length, that's margin: 0; and add height: 0.1px which doesn't consume much space, so it'll work.
Note: it'll work properly until it's not zoomed out more than 50%, so make sure of the use case before you apply it to the body.
I have looked around for this and it seems simple but i cant seem to work it out.
I have a div with a background.
I want the background to start 20px down and then repeat-y, as in repeat the rest of the way down.
<div class="main_col"></div>
.main_col {
width: 680px;
float: left;
background:#fff;
background-position:50% 50%;
}
This is what im trying but it is filling the whole div?
this is what i have tried....http://jsfiddle.net/uzi002/gqqTM/4/
You cannot do this with one class definition in current CSS2 standards.
Use a separate div for the background.
If you want to fiddle with some CSS3, you can check out
background-origin
at
http://www.css3.info/preview/background-origin-and-background-clip/
Be aware of browser support.
You might try to add padding-top: 20px to .main_col and inside it create additional div with this background.
.main_col {
width: 680px;
float: left;
background: url("your image") 0px 20px;
}
Update
this is using giker s example
try something like this
There are 3 CSS properties relevant to achieving this:
background-image { url(/myBackground.png) } // To select the image
background-repeat { no-repeat } // To choose how or if it repeats
background-position { 1px 1px } // To choose the X, Y coordinates of the top left corner of the background image in relation to the top left corner of the element.
Now, that's all quite verbose but it can be condensed into a single rule, as follows:
background { url(myBackground.png) no-repeat 1px 1px }
It is possible to use relative values (such as the % which your code shows) for the background-position, but you will need to use px.
Try using a margin padding.
i.e.
.main_col {
width: 680px;
float: left;
background:#fff;
background-position:50% 50%;
padding-top:20px;
}
I'm curently workign on this page and I'm trying to make the background repeat-y from a certain height but to no avail. If you look at the link's background (bottom area); you'll see that it leaves a an ugly space there, which is ugly. The CSS is as show below
body {
font-family:Calibri;
font-size: 16px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #000;
background-image: url(images/bg.png);
background-repeat: repeat -200px 0px;
}
There's no way I'm aware of that makes the repeat skip some pixels. If I were you I would split them so the background-image of the body would be what the majority of it is now without the top. And then I would add a div to the top with these settings:
<div id="upperpart"></div>
in css:
#upperpart{
background-image: url(whatever it is);
width:100%;
height:how high it is
background-repeat: repeat-x;
margin-bottom: minus its height; <-- this will make everything below this div get ontop the div
}
After some mathematical thinking and experiments, the line of code below did the magic. I had to also watch where to cut it off with -1530px. Make sure you use the same background you used with the body tag.
html {
background: url(images/bg.png) repeat 0px -1530px;
}
Similar to Put icon inside input element in a form
But how to I get the icon inside and on the right side of the box?
Try this:
background: url(images/icon.png) no-repeat right center;
The explanation for this CSS is as follows:
background: [url to image] [don't repeat] [horizontal position] [vertical position]
As an addition to Bazzz's answer, if you don't want the icon right up against the right border, you can specify padding on the right side.
background: url(images/icon.png) no-repeat right 10px center;
This will put the icon on the right side, but keep it 10 pixels from the very edge. So, the CSS explanation would look like this:
background: [URL to icon] [specify no repeating] [horizontal position] [padding on right side] [vertical position]
Same answer except change padding-left to padding-right, and change the positioning of the background.
Something like:
background: url(images/comment-author.gif) no-repeat scroll right;
padding-right: 30px;
Using image and SVG. Padding works well in all browsers (mars 2017)
Image file
.date_element {
background-image: url(../img/calendar.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right center;
background-origin: content-box;
}
SVG file
.date_element {
background-image: url(../img/calendar.svg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right center;
background-origin: content-box;
background-size: 2.5rem 2.5rem;
}
Just wondering if its possible to cleanup (less code needed to do the same thing) making this div container. Basically it's just a div with a background image however the top & bottom of the div have rounded graphical corners which is why I have a top, middle, and bottom div inside the container div.
<div class="fbox">
<div class="ftop"></div>
<div class="fmid">
Fullbox Text Goes Here
</div>
<div class="fbot"></div>
</div>
Css:
.fbox {
width: 934px;
margin: 0 auto;
opacity: 0.70;
}
.ftop {
width: 934px;
background:url(../images/cb/full.png) no-repeat 0 -34px;
height: 17px;
margin:0
}
.fmid {
width: 894px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
background:url(../images/cb/fullmid.png) repeat-y;
min-height: 50px;
margin:0
}
.fbot {
width: 934px;
background:url(../images/cb/full.png) no-repeat 0 -17px;
height: 17px;
margin:0
}

You can use CSS Border Radius with a single div instead of creating the top and bottom. IE won't recognize this but there are some handy work arounds for that as well.
I will commonly use CSS3 PIE which is an htc behavior for IE. It does a bunch of other stuff like linear gradient background colors etc. All you do is supply the border radius css for each browser and the browser will know which one to use.
http://css3pie.com/
.yourbox {
/* PIE Sample */
border: 1px solid #696;
-webkit-border-radius: 8px;
-moz-border-radius: 8px;
border-radius: 8px;
behavior: url(/PIE.htc);
}
All you really need is the border radius stuff for other browsers though.
You could use the border-radius CSS property. In Firefox, you would use -moz-border-radius and in WebKit you would use -webkit-border-radius. I generally will use all three. This will round the corners of the box without need for all the extra div's.
Of course, users of IE are S.O.L. but sometimes you have to give a little to take a little, right? :)
<div id="box">Blah blah blah.</div>
#box{border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px}
The easiest way would be to use border-radius, but it's not compatible across all browsers. Support is decent. Also, covering all supported browsers requires vendor specific code, which is kind of annoying:
-webkit-border-radius: 4px; /* Vendor code */
-moz-border-radius: 4px; /* Vendor code */
border-radius: 4px; /* CSS 3 Standard */
You can add borders to divs with border-radius applied, and it'll follow the round of the corners as you'd hope.
If you have to use images which is what it sounds like. Create a single image file that has the borders you want and use special css selectors to adjust the background position so your not loading 3 different background images.
.fbox .border {
background: url(bg.png);
}
.border.mid {
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: repeat-y
}
.border.top {
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: no-repeat
}
and so on and so forth
I can't say exactly how you would adjust the bg position because it will depend on the image you use and whether or not your using a constant fixed width. But I highly recommend using only one image and then using an additional selector to just move the bg position.
