Is there a way to dynamically resize the image on the page background? I have a background that repeats on Y axes but if I make the height size bigger and if the page contains less content then the backgroun does not fit properly.. can anyone please help? thanks
Short answer: No.
Long answer: http://css-tricks.com/how-to-resizeable-background-image/
Indeed what you want is not yet possible (perhaps in CSS3 ?). The best way to go as of yet I think is using the CSS background-attachment.
body {
background-attachment: fixed; /*background doesn't scroll out of the screen */
background-position: top center; /* background's center is in the center of the window */
}
There are CSS3 descriptors that do this:
#my-id {background-size: 100% 100%;}

Hope this helps!

I want to get the background to be dynamic, proportionally re-size, and fill in the whole background instead of simply covering half of it like it is now on any mobile platform.
I'm an absolute novice at web design and am going through a merchant website. I thought I had figured out my website, but I completely forgot about mobile views so it is a mess in that area. I have tried media queries, viewport things, and more to no avail, so I feel like there was something default preventing them from working.

Thanks so much!
background-size: cover; will achive what you are looking for. This stretches the bg image to the size of the viewport cropping the edges rather that squashing it.
#media all and (max-width: 699px) { /* max-width would be the breakpoint for when this style kicks in */
body {
background-size: cover; /* stretches to size of viewport */
background-position: center; /* center the bg image */
}
}
You can also use percentage, pixel and em values for the background-size property. See MDN
I want to make a background like this except using an image instead of the blue background: http://gakeyclub.org/
Notice that resizing the window of the browser does not disturb the background. What do I need for this?
According to your comment, what you are asking is to have your background center on your page. To do so use background-position this will tell the browser where to position the background according to its container.
background-position:50% 50%;
You might like to add some other background attributes such as background-repeat:no-repeat to make sure the picture does not repeat on huge resolutions.
this is how your css should be looking for a fixed image as background:
body
{
background-image:url('image.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
}
Why do you want to use an image. It will just increase the size of the page. Use this code:-
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #002f5f;
I am building a single page site constructed of 4 divs, one on top of the other and each one with its own fixed background image. The images are much wider than the screen as I want to site to keep its look across a large range of screen sizes, however does anyone know how to truely center a background image. So in a small monitor they would be viewing the center of the image, and in a larger monitor they would see the same place of the image, just with more around it. Just like this site has

When the window is resized the background image moves accordingly.
Many Thanks.
If you check the css from your link you see the solution:
#images #bg_1 {
background-image: url(images/bg/1.jpg);
background-position: 50% 0;
}
And the div:
<div class="bg_block" id="bg_1" style="height: 1200px; width: 1055px;"></div>
By JavaScript they change the width of #bg_1 on every resize.
window.onresize = function(event) {
$("#bg_1").css("width", $(window).width());
}
This should work
#bg{
background-image:url(yourURL);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position:center;
}
The background-fixed property is for Firefox and Opera.
You're looking for the background-position CSS property.
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-position.asp
It can take an absolute offset in pixels (so if you know the size of your image and the size of the div you could calculate exactly where you want it to appear). Or, you can pass in a percentage. It can also take a negative numbers so you can offset it off the screen in any direction.
For your case, though, you probably want the simple "center" value. Something like this should work:
/* This should center the background image in the div. */
div.background_image_block {
background-position: center center;
}
So I have a div with a background image. I would like the background image to always be 100% on the screen no matter what the screen size is. I would like the image to grow in proportion but crop the height. I don't want the image to stretch. What I have so far is:
#banner {
background:url(../images/blurry.jpg) no-repeat;
width:100%;
height:520px;
background-size:100% 100%;
}
At the moment this is stretching the image to 100% and making the image look stretched.
Can anyone help me with this or point me in the right direction?
Use the CSS3 background-size property. Set it to cover. Like so:
background-size: cover;
Note that only IE9 and later supports this property value. IE8 will complain about an unsupported value. Chrome and Firefox supported cover since the past couple of years at least.
I would like to fix my background to 100% height of body and leave it there even when rest of the page scrolls.
How do I achieve this?
Right now all I have is background:url(bg.png);. The height of the image is 1200px and width 20px, if that matters.
in css, use this:
background-attachment: fixed;
Depending on what you want the background image to do there are a couple of options. There is a great article on ALA about full screen BG images that accounts for scaling:
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/supersize-that-background-please/
If you are just looking to position the image in the browser you would do:
background:url(bg.png) no-repeat top left;
background-attachment:fixed;
Or however you want to position it respectively (top right, etc.)
Some browsers still have trouble supporting the stretching of background images so here's a workaround.
CSS3 Example and Support
Since it's already 1200px, you can use background-attachment:fixed; on the background to make it follow when they scroll. Example at w3schools. You can make the image look like it is meant to flow into a solid color at the bottom with a nice gradient, etc.
