How to create a scaled page background image?

Hi - does anyone know of a way of creating a page background image which will scale to fit any screen width?  I've tried googling it, but get back so many complicated explanations that I don't know which to believe.  Up until now I've resorted to creating a large image, usually around 1700 x 1400px, which just about works, but obviously smaller screens lose a lot of it.  I'd really like to understand how to do this properly,
Thanks

How far back in browser version history do you want to support?
IE9+ and any modern browser (like Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera) will work with the background-size:cover attribute:value in CSS3: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
For older browsers, you'll need a bit more complicated solution using javascript like this page: http://louisremi.github.io/jquery.backgroundSize.js/demo/

  • How to create a full page background image that is fluid?

    I'm creating a website for my portfolio, and one of the things I wanted to have is a full page background image that the div tags are in.  I know there is a way to put it in via page properties, but that doesn't allow you to add CSS styles and I want the image to re-size with window changes.  This requires putting the image in a div tag, but then it pushes the other div tags (such as my header section and navigation) so that they aren't over the image like I want.  Is there a way to push the image div tag to the back so that the other div tags go over it.
    I'm using HTML5, and it will also be a responsive design, but the fluid background is only for desktops.
    I don't go on the adobe website often, so if you have an answer to this, or need more information to figure it out please email me at [email protected] and you'll get a faster reply than on this forum.
    Thank you everyone for your help.

    You should set this forum to email you on a reply.
    I don't have a link in your question to determine how you are trying to do this, but here's a technique I have used:
    Take a look at this website and see if it doesn't have what you are trying to do. You'll see the flag in the background and I have used opacity in the layers on top of it to keep the flag somewhat visible.
    Now, what the flag does not do is re-size itself with the viewport (the browser window). But the flag is in a div that sits on top of the body. My code is accessible, but you're looking for the flag div and it's defined in CSS thusly:
    #flag {
              width: 100%;
              background-image: url("../images/polish-flag.png");
              background-repeat: no-repeat;
              min-height: 900px;
    Now, CSS3 adds a new attribute you can apply to the background image thusly:
         background-size: 100% 100%;
    That would make your background fill the viewport.
    I chose to not do that, because I was worried about versions of Internet Exploder before 10.

  • Page background images, songs, movies, don't publish

    I'm new to this. I've researched other threads here and cannot find this specifically. I was so proud. What beautiful pages I had created in iWeb and so sad to discover dot mac couldn't display them!
    My tinted page background images have never published. These files published into my hard drive folder but are not on iDisk. Songs appear with a tiny Q for Quicktime and a ? - files were dragged into iWeb from audio media browser. Larger Q with the movies. I have one large Movie 18.5, one smaller - 4.5 MB. It's cool if dot mac can't handle it, but perhaps they shouldn't promote that they can! I'm a huge Mac fan, but any tips or tricks before I attempt to cancel my dot mac purchase? I went back and changed all the background image file names. No luck. I am so hoping that I'm just doing something stupid. I signed up for dot mac to share my music and movie files. Help me make it work!

  • Does anyone here knows how to create a login page thru JDBC?

    Anyone here knows how to create a login page which connect to database thru JDBC but not JDBC-ODBC bridge?

    Hi..pls you'll do people here a great good if you could explain yourself better..!
    Anyway if you are trying to connect to an Oracle Database you dont need the jdbc-odbc bridge as oracle provides a special driver for java applets/applications that is "the thin driver" and the "oci driver"..so if you are connecting to Oracle your connection will look like this:
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); //not sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection ("blah blah, blah");
    no need for the jdbc-odbc bridge.
    I hope i've answered your question.
    Thanks.

    How to create a contact sheet of images in CS5.  Different set up than older version I worked on before.

    Have I missed something that the Adobe Bridge Output Module didn’t seem to offer a printing option?  Tried the older plug-in which is what I was familiar with, but that seems to download all the plug ins, not just contact sheets. Do I have to download the whole shebang?

  • Page background images show in preview but not after uploading

    Hi -
    I've built a page with a flash animation, and some other
    minimal information below the movie. I have a page background image
    that should be repeating horizontally behind everything. When I
    preview it, all looks great! After I upload it to the actual site
    the background images disappear. The code is all within the page.
    Any ideas?

    never mind... problem resolved.

  • How to create a One Page checkout

    Hello nice people,
    Does anybody knows how to create a ONE-PAGE Check Out Process in Online Shop Layout?
    Thanks in advance

    "I can resolve the problem if I can insert one page (or step) after
    "registration - buy". This would be a "summary" page where the customer has
    the last opportunity tu check out all his data and, if it is needed, to
    correct his order, billing address, shipping, the way of payment"
    <<< The only way to do this is with JS. You can use jQuery's .load() method
    to load your cart into the registration layout. You'll have to do some
    parsing of that cart table to obtain things like product name, quantity etc
    and present this in some kind of summary. Parsing tables in jQuery is not a
    nice task, so if you're going to embark onto producing this kind of summary
    you may want to get rid off the table from the cart and simple throw in
    some divs and tags which will help you parse the cart nicely. That mans
    you'll have to construct the layout for the cart though using JS.
    Example of alternative cart layout:
    It renders like this:
    product one
    (S)
    product one
    (M)
    onchange="UpdateItemQuantity(this.value,231502,234492,6737768,183427,'','US');return
    false;" class="cartInputText" type="text" value="1">
    onchange="UpdateItemQuantity(this.value,231502,234492,6737768,183428,'','US');return
    false;" class="cartInputText" type="text" value="3">
    $10.00
    $45.00
    $55.00
    You can see that this is much nicer to read and you can then construct your
    own data structure that will hold this info and render it it whichever way
    you want to. You can even write it back as a table where each product is in
    its own row. You may want to look at something that gives you template.
    model, controller like ember.js.
    Anyway, I hope that helps somewhat.
    Cheers,
    M
