So I have a background image for my content on a site and was wondering if there was a way to make the background repeat on the y axis when content starts to overflow. Here is what it looks like: http://ithacawebdesigners.com/temp_data/wildfirewp/
Thanks!
e. here is the div
#content {
float:left;
height:100%;
width:860px;
padding-top:10px;
background:url('http://ithacawebdesigners.com/temp_data/wildfirewp/images/contentbackw.png') repeat-y;
margin:0 0 0 70px;
}
In your layout.css file you have this block around line 260:
#content .page,#content .attachment,.postcontent {
height:500px;
width:720px;
margin-top:15px;
margin-left:30px;
float:left;
}
Remove the height rule; it is limiting the height of your background. Unfortunately your background doesn't tile well, but this will get you started.
Remove the fixed height (500px) from your .postcontent css class. Everything else seems to be in order.
If you set the CSS to use background-repeat:repeat-y;
It should work
Try this:
background-repeat: repeat-y;
In your CSS add:
background-repeat : repeat-y;

I am in the process of creating a simple placeholder page to announce a new website. The page consists of nothing other than
a centered background logo image
a "catch phrase" immediately below that image
I thought this would be easy - I place a positioned background image with its size specified and then place an absolutely positioned h1 header to get the "catch phrase" right below the background image.

This is working to the understanding that
background-origin:border-box;
background-position:center 37.5% with
background-size:auto 25% would
yield an image with
The background image centered horizontally with its top left hand corner at 37% of its container height (set to 100vh)
The absolutely positioned h1element is at (37.5 + 25)% from the top
For good measure I set padding:0and margin:0on everything. However, the end result is not quite as expected - there is still way too much space between the bottom of the logo image and the top of the h1header. Clearly, I am misunderstanding some aspect of background positioning and/or size here. I'd be much obliged to anyone who might be able to put me on the right track
When using percent for background images, it doesn't work at all as one first think.
When you set background position using percent, that positions the image such that X% of the way across itself aligns with X% of the way across the element. This article at CSS Tricks shows it quite well: percentage-background-position-works
Use viewport height units vh instead

<h1>CSS3 is Cool!</h1>
All I want is to place background image for div for 100% width. Could you please help me to find my mistake.
html
<div class="slogan_background">
<h2>Slogan</h2>
</div>
css
background-image: url("../img/bg.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
width:100%;
min-height: 526px;
If I understand the issue correctly, this might help:
background-size: cover;
Your code looks good but maybe you didn't set height and width for body tag. Try adding this to your css
html, body{
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
Also set padding and margin to 0 to remove spaces from the side
.slogan_background{
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
Add the
backgroun-size:100% 100%;

I have a main div that it re-sizes with re-sizing window. I want to add 2 div inside the main div (float left and right). left one width is 165 and right one width is the rest size of main div. can I simply use something in CSS?
#leftDiv{
height:100%;
width:165px;
float:left;
background-color:#244378;
}
#rightDiv {
height:100%;
width:100% - 165px;
float:left;
background-color:#244378;
}
If you really want do it this way, you can use the CSS3 calc property, but keep in mind that this isn't supported in all browsers:
#rightDiv {
height:100%;
width:calc(100% - 165px);
float:left;
background-color:#244378;
}
No! you cannot use a value like "100% -165px".
Instead you can just remove "float:left" and "width:" from #rightDiv.
That should work for your case.
You have to remofe float:left from #rightDiv and set width to auto in this way:
#rightDiv {
height:100%;
width:auto;
background-color:#ff0000;
}
If you do this, the right div will always appear near the left div and will have a dynamic width.

Repeat-x property for CSS is not working as required.
I have a 50px image (to be used as background image).
I take a 200px div and set the 50px image as background with repeat-x css property.
The problem I am facing is 4 images (4 * 50px = 200px) are correctly drawn and a little portion of the image is also drawn at the end. As I think this extra portion should not be drawn. Please help.
css property:
{
width:200px;
height:27px;
position:absolute;
background:url(./img/common/bg_grid.jpg) repeat-x left top;
background-size:50px 27px;
}
from above link you may find correct background image
There is a certain level of margin or padding that is inheriting its default value from the nested/parent elements. You need to reset them in order to get what you are looking for.
From your above code, For Instance,
{
width:200px;
height:27px;
position:absolute;
background:url(./img/common/bg_grid.jpg) repeat-x left top;
background-size:50px 27px;
padding:0; /* Reset values */
margin:0; /* Reset values */
}
EDIT:
As per the updated fiddle provided by the OP, below is the solution.
WORKING DEMO
The CSS Code Change:
<div style="width:900px;height:27px;position:absolute;top:150px;right:100px;background:url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/5ebiu.jpg) repeat-x left top;overflow:hidden;background-size:45px 28px;background-repeat: space;margin:0;padding:0"></div>
Hope this helps.
try this one
.content
{
display:block;
position:relative;
float:left;
width:1000px;
background:#ccc;
height:300px;
}

Two problems, both caused by IE7
www.myvintagesecret.com
1) I have a Div called .postheader that holds the title and another div called .clip . As you can see, the clip should hover over the content and not push it down. (use any other browser to test). Its currently giving me a huge gap when it should only go as long as the text does.
.postheader {
background:url(images/posthead.png) no-repeat;
min-height:100px;
max-height:600px;
padding-right:25px;
overflow:visible;
}
.clip {
width:214px;
height:275px;
float:right;
position:relative;
}
Any ideas? I can make the max height smaller, but that causes the .clip div to be cut off.
2) In the sidebar, there are a bunch of items called .sidebaritem. They have a background image that is only not showing up in IE7. I can't figure this one out.
.sidebar-item
{
background:url(images/sidebar.png)top center no-repeat;
font-size: 12px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
padding-left: 18px;
padding-right:10px;
padding-top:8px;
min-height:200px;
}
1) Try this. I think using position:absolute instead of float:right will solve the problem.
.postheader {
background:url(images/posthead.png) no-repeat;
position:relative;
}
.clip {
width:214px;
height:275px;
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:25px;
}
2) Hmm.. It could be the space after closing ).
background:url(images/sidebar.png) top center no-repeat;
3) Response to comment: In that case... You should redo the background. Create wrappers with backgrounds only and put your content inside. Clip should be the top div inside wrapper and float to right. Do something like...
<div class="itemTopBg"><div class="itemBottomBg"><div class="itemLeftBg"><div class="itemRightBg">
<div class="clip">...</div>
... content with no bg... just text...
</div></div></div></div>
I think I solved 1) with these changes
.clip drop float right, change position to absolute, and give it a right of 0.
.postheader add position relative
.postheader h2 width of around 400px
Seemed to work in IE7 and firefox, not sure how it looked in other browsers though.
