CSS - Background-image Size
Hello.
How do you stretch a background-image so its height and width are equal to its parent? Similar TutorialsMy code works well in Internet Explorer and Safari but it does not work the way I want it to in Firefox and Opera. My items with red borders should always stay close to the blue bar in the background. But in Firefox and Opera the body background moves to the left when the window size is small, and the items with red borders appear to move away from the blue bar. The problem is the way in which these browsers center the background image for the body. Can anyone help me fix this issue? Thanks!

I have a DIV which I have set the height to 100%. I understand that height: 100% means that it will fit up to 100% of the viewable screen area. How would I define it so that it expands to fit 100% of the content area? Meaning that if the content scrolls more than 100% of the height of the screen, the background will stretch to fit the whole content height. The URL with an example of the site I'm working on is: http://hawaiihomebrew.com/os_comm/index.php?cPath=50_51 The site is not complete so please bare with some of the broken images and all that. When my products extend beyond the height of the screen the white background stops at the point before you have to start scrolling and I want it to extend the whole height of the content. My css is below. The right_col class is the one that contains the content in question. Code:

body {
font-family:Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
font-size: 80%;

The layout I have going is a bit difficult to explain. Here's a diagram.. The area of importance is the header. The content and main head area are centered. The area to the left and right of the header are a <div>. However, as you can see, the background image on the left is different than the one on the right. I'm having difficulty making this work. the images can be stretched horizontally without a problem, but the two sides must meet in the middle beneath the header. I hope this makes sense. What I've got to do, I think, is tell the background image of the underlying <div> to stretch to 100%, and make this image 300px wide or so including both sides of the image and a split. The split would hide behind the header. I can't find a method to stretch the background image, though. Does anybody know of a better way, or a way to achieve this method at all without getting into completely different layouts? Thanks in advance for any assistance/suggestions. In short, I'm trying to get this one image to tile down the page to the bottom, underneath a static background image. Basically, it's a 2pixel high image that's ready to tile vertically, just having a tough time getting it to work. You can clearly see the problem here, a gap at the bottom: http://www.groundedgroup.com/clients/NWR/ Here's the relevant css: http://www.groundedgroup.com/client...WR-GG/style.css I've googled and subsequently tried out some solutions, but no luck. Got any ideas? Thanks in advance. PS - Is there a way to keep the spiders from indexing my links above? The site is on a test server, so I don't want the url indexed. hey all..got a wierd one..well to me anyway ! hope someone can tell me what im doing wrong !! i have code like this Code:
#banner img {
height: 15em;
width: 25em;
margin: 0.5em;
}
to manage the size of an image but i want to add another image to the page and i can't the css can be found here and the page im working on can be found here if anyone has any ideas that wouldbe marvelous... thanks RF Well, not exactly an image map, more like links on an image. You'll have to excuse some of my ignorance, I only started with CSS a little over a week ago...so you can imagine. I found this neat little trick and wanted to implement it on my site. I'm undertaking a redesign of our companies old site...which was terrible. I figured it would be a fine time to learn CSS. The idea here is that there are about 50 points on this map that are links to pdf files, we decided that it would be nice to be able to see little thumbnails and some basic info on each point without opening the pdf. The site does this just fine, but unfortunately won't work in anything lower than 1280x1024. I can't just resize the images because then the links will be messed up as they're posisioned by the pixel. I have no idea what to do to get this to work, it may just be a lost cause. If someone tells me to forget it, and it's just not going to work...I can live. It's really just a neat thing I wanted to see work, it's not crucial. Any ideas at all would be great, at the very least I might learn something Oh...here's the site: http://www.sanitaryengineer.co.medina.oh.us/gis/test.html Thanks a million Hello, not entirely sure how to go about this, but I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 and I'm working on my home page. The way I have it set up is I have a "sidebar" to the left, then a large "main_image" to the right of that which begins my "container" div followed by some "body_copy" below that. Everything looks good when the window is in a max size. The problem arrises whenever I resize my window the main_image moves to below the sidebar and everything just seems to shift down... The main_image is set to relative so the body_copy text can form properly under it. Is there any way to have the image remain stationary despite window size? Thanks for your help!! Hi, I have a question about setting up the Body background-image via a linked external stylesheet. I have a index.html file and a myStyle.css file. I want to setup the background to load an image file, test.JPG. When I embed the following in my index.html, I see the background show up: ** inside index.html file ** <BODY STYLE="background-image: url(test.JPG);"> blah </BODY> BUT, when I define my background in the externally linked myStyle.css file, the background does not load: ** inside myStyle.css file ** BODY { background-image: url(test.JPG); } ** inside index.html file ** <LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="myStyle.css"> <BODY> blah </BODY> </LINK> Please help. thanks! Hi. Really hoping someone can help me with this... I'll try and explain this as best I can(!) Basically I've got a page containing a block of 9 images, with each linking to a video clip. At the moment I've got the CSS coded so that whenever the mouse is hovered over the 'infobar' (at the bottom of each image) it goes from having a transparent background with black text to having a grey background with white text. What I'm trying to achieve is that same effect whenever the mouse is hovered over any part of the image and infobar.

Any help would be very-much appreciated - and save an old bloke from tearing too much of his hair out(!) Hello, I'm using jquery and the cycle plugin to cycle through a few images on my homepage inside a container.When i load the website at any browser size, it seems to do the proper thing. The problems arise when i try to make the browser bigger or smaller after that, it does funky things to the images. If you begin to scale the browser when the first image is displayed, it also seems to scale properly for that first image, but goes haywire after that. It pretty much does it in all browsers and i can't seem to figure out if it's something im not setting properly within css or if it have something to do with jquery and the cycle plugin. here's the website thus far: www.beaucoupla.com this is my first time writing code so please any help would be appreciated!

Hi, I hope someone can help. I have a blog with a fluid design (as best I can) layout. Images are floated in the main post, with width and height specified as a %. Quite often when I first load a page with an image, the image is very small and anchored to the top left of a box (defined by a border) that is the correct dimensions. When I resize the window containing the blog, the images fill out the defined box and everything is fine. Can anyone help me avoid the erratic behavior when I first open a blog page? I'm using IE7 and IE8 and see the same thing in both browsers. I'd post the URL for the blog so anyone interested in helping could see what I mean, but as a relatively new member here, I am not allowed to do so. Thx in advance for any help that can offered. Bill Hi, Here's the site I'm working with: http://www.cjfusion.com I want to get that image centered on the browser window and then depending on how big the viewers screen is, the browser will cover up the left and the right. I hope that makes sense. I almost want it to be fluid, but I'm unsure how to do that. Ask questions if this doesnt make sense. Its hard to explain. -CJ Hi I am redesigning my blog and took it down completely. I want to place the day's text post on the day's photo post on top of the latter, while graying out the photo. Is that possible without using flash? I am trying to put labels below images on my new site design. See: www.jwsuretybonds*com/jw09 I figured out how to get them vertically aligned, but I am having problems with the horizontal, as when I change the browser size, they move. Here is one of the examples: Code:
#homepage-bar h2.construction {
position:fixed;
top:225px;
left:505px;
}
I tried changing to position: absolute; I also tried to use percentages on the left: I know this is easy, but I can't find the fix after googling for 30 minutes. Help! I'm trying to create a little background image for each image on this page. A kind of crappy looking polaroid type background image. It works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Any ideas? http://www.rhizaowns.com/holly/index.php Code: div.top {
border: 10px solid #CCCCCC;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-image: url(menutile.jpg);
}
The code above yields this . It is uneven with the normal image, though both are the same size. I simply want to tile the bg image to the border even with the normal menu images. What am I doing wrong? I want to use php to get images from a database and display them as css background-image attributes I know that the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('path/file'); }
works (obviously) and the html Code: <img src='image-generator-script.php'> also works but the css Code: #id { background-image: url ('image-generator-script.php'); }
doesn't work for me. It seems as though it should work. Why place such a seemingly arbitrary limitation on CSS as only being able to display images from existing files? I've done lots of searching through documentation and on forums, but not found anything conclusive either way. A couple of people have said it works. But it doesn't for me. Is there some extra configuration step I'm missing? Does anyone know for a fact that it works? -- so I can know for sure that somewhere I'm making a blunder in my code. But the code is simple, and I don't see where it could go wrong. (As is always the case!!) I can see the image in the browser just by pasting in the script link to the address bar. I know that url() specifiers are relative to the location of the stylesheet, not the html document, but in this case the html, the css, and the php are all in the same directory. I can't see what I could be doing wrong, so it really looks like you can't do it. But why?? And why isn't it mentioned in the documentation? (At least in the placers I've looked.) If you store all your images in a database, how on earth can you display any of them in CSS except by using a script in the url() specifier? I've seen plenty of tips about generating css files from php (I already do it), but that won't help in this case. All I can think of is to have php write the image data from the database into a temporary file, and put that file name into the url() specifier. But what a horrible kludge!! I will be very grateful to anyone who can give me solid facts on this question. Andrew Blake Hi there, I'm completely new to CSS. I'm trying to do this more than one hour but can't get it right. Code: <font color='white'><font size='1' face=verdana size=1> I couldn't find the equivalent of this in CSS This is my last experiment but it doesn't seem to work either Code: fontstyle { color : #FFFFFF; font-family : verdana ; font-size :1;}
Thanks I could see this as potentially being really easy to do or really hard to do. I'm hoping for the former. Suppose I have 3 divs, A, B, C and that I want the total width of A + B + C to equal the width of the screen. Suppose also that I want them to be inline. How can I have B to be a fixed width while A and C expand depending on the screen width (such that the width of A = the width of C)? |
