How do I adjust my background image to fit my browser

I have a background image that it 1600 x 1200 and when I try to view in browser, almost half the image gets cut off. How do I adjust the size to fit my browser or even adjust it to fit any browser?

1600 x 1200 is a huge image by web standards. Images don't resize to fill viewport without workarounds (tricks). And while Martin's solution works in some browsers, it's not bulletproof. Downsides may outweigh advantages.
For best cross browser results (including older IE), establish a fixed page width of say 1000px to fit on average displays. Center your page layout.
Open your image in Photoshop or Fireworks and resize it to 1000 x 750. Your image won't fill the viewport but it will fit your page width.

How is it possible to adjust the background images and the text in Mail?

How is it possible to adjust the background images and the text in Mail?

Here's the solution I used to solve the same problem. If you're not comfortable editing the source files, this might be more than you want to take on--but I've done it to several files with no ill effects. You can follow the instructions on this page and the referenced original post from (he includes a link on the page). Good luck! He's got some great tips on some of his other pages.

A warning about editing the Master pages--it only edits them in that book--it doesn't update the theme. So if you go to create another book with those same layouts, you'll have to duplicate the book and replace all the images. An alternative would be to create a "clean" book with no photos in it and then just use that as a starting point each time.

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

How can I do a Background image like this (example inside)

Check this out:
Click Here
Notice if you view the background image by itself, its much bigger than what is appearing on the website in the browser. Is it set to automatically adjust to your monitor size? How can I achieve this through CSS?
Also, how can I setup a transparent background (like in the middle of the page?)
Thanks

"Is it set to automatically adjust to your monitor size? How can I achieve this through CSS?"
It's an illusion. The body background image is defined with a fixed position, so the image is actually floating off to the left when viewport width is decreased. Another example of this can be seen here along with the CSS code used to create it.

How do I change the background image for a single tab on the navigation bar

I'm creating a movie website for TDKR and for the navigation bar, I intend to have a different character for each tab. However, I'm having trouble putting a single image each separate tab. Instead one image appears on each of the tabs. Here's an example of the source and CSS.
<td width="200"><ul id="navigation"> 
 <li><a href="../pages/index.html">Home</a></li> 
 <li><a href="../pages/cast.html">Cast</a></li> 
 <li><a href="../pages/pictures.html">Pictures</a></li> 
 <li><a href="../pages/soundtrack.html">Music</a></li> 
 <li><a href="../pages/interview.html">Interviews</a></li> 
 <li><a href="../pages/links.html">Links</a></li> 
 </ul>
 </td>
#navigation {
 list-style-type: none;
 padding: 0px;
 margin: 0px;
#navigation li {
 margin: 0px;
 padding: 0px;
 list-style-type: none
#navigation li a:link, #navigation li a:visited {
 display: block;
 width: 200px;
 height: 100px;
 text-decoration: none;
 text-align: center;
 line-height: 100px;
 font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 font-weight: bold;
 -webkit-transition: 1000ms ease;
 -moz-transition: 1000ms ease;
 -ms-transition: 1000ms ease;
 -o-transition: 1000ms ease;
 transition: 1000ms ease;
 color: #648AAE;
 background-repeat: no-repeat;
 background-image: url(../Images/gifs/Batman-still-2.gif);
 background-position: center bottom;
 text-transform: uppercase;
 letter-spacing: 0.79em;
 border-radius: 5px;
#navigation li a:focus, #navigation li a:hover, #navigation li a:active {
 color: #000000;
 background-image: url(../Images/gifs/Batman-animation-2.gif);
 background-repeat: no-repeat;
 background-position: center bottom;
 background-color: #454545;
 border-radius: 25px;
So, how do I put a single image on each tab (home, cast, pictures, etc). Thank you for your help in advance.

Assign a class to the item and use CSS to apply an image as in
<li><a href="../pages/index.html" class="home;">Home</a></li> 
<li><a href="../pages/cast.html">Cast</a></li> 
<li><a href="../pages/pictures.html">Pictures</a></li> 
<li><a href="../pages/soundtrack.html">Music</a></li> 
<li><a href="../pages/interview.html">Interviews</a></li> 
<li><a href="../pages/links.html">Links</a></li> 
and the CSS
#navigation li a:link.home, #navigation li a:visited.home {
 background-image: url(../Images/gifs/Batman-still-2.gif);

How to get background image to fill the browser and remain fixed in both IE and Firefox?

Basically what it says in the title. I've come very close in achieving this but something just doesn't tie up in the html and css code...
First of all, I'm using IE8 and the latest version of Firefox to test this.
I used 2 sources of information for getting this done: 1) http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/ and 2) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8958697/css3-background-size-cover-doesnt-make-image-co ver-vertically
In Case 1 the example on the page called CSS-Only Technique #1 gives code that works almost perfectly for me, except that obviously I need a background image, however the CSS provided there is clearly just for an image dropped in the body of a page with no regard for other content that may already be there. The html code that I put on the page is simply <img class="bg" src="../images/background_image.jpg">
Obviously I used the CSS code provided in the example, minus the last bit which is "@media screen" etc etc, which seems irrelevant to me. Obviously substituting values to suit the image on my page.
So what happened is that it almost worked as intended in both the browsers (which means the image filled both browsers width-wise as intended and also remained fixed when I zoomed in or out in each case) except that the image went over the top of the current content that I had there already precisely because it's not a background in this "technique". (A curious side-note is that the image didn't push down the content, as I'd have expected in normal circumstances, but went right over the top of it so it hid it (like z-index).
One thing that does bother me about this "technique" is that if you click on View Demo just below the code provided you will see on the working example page (forest background) the image clearly works as a background and the content sits happily on top! So I don't know whether the person providing the example was trying to mislead people or what! Or he got lazy and showed a different page that didn't use the exact code he provided. No matter.
In any case this leaves me with the job only half finished, as I still need a background image that works like the 'normal image' code provided.
On to Case 2 and on this page the first example provided gives the CSS for the background image - namely the code within html {...} part and also shows the same 'normal image' code as given in Case 1. In this case however, although the person provided a suggestion, the css and html doesn't really tie up properly plus some of the css and html seems a bit redundant. So this time when I used the 'html portion' of the CSS code (i.e. just the bit that was most relevant) I got two different behaviours in each browser and neither of which was quite what I'm looking for. In IE8 initially the page looks fine (background fills the page and content is on top) however when I zoom in or out the background also zooms in or out accordingly so is NOT fixed. In Firefox the background image DOES stay fixed, however because the image originally is not the whole height of the browser I'm guessing the code stretches it downwards (while keeping proportions - so the image essentially enlarges) to fill all of it. The quick way to get around it is to probably add some white space to the bottom of the image just to give it enough height that it doesn't stretch/resize automatically. But it would be nice to find out anyway how to get around this in the code. Overall I would say that the result in Firefox comes closest to the desired solution but of course it doesn't help matters with IE8.
Apologies for the lengthy description but that should at least provide plenty info for anybody that might have a possible solution for me. Essentially what would be great is if somebody could advise me how to take the code from Case 1 and apply it to a 'background' piece of coding like the type that's contained within html {...} in Case 2. Like I said, it's so nearly there but I just can't make it work atm after trying to combine the various bits of code this way and that... Alternatively, if somebody has another html-css version that works nicely for achieving this then please by all means let me know! Thanks v much in advance!

This works in modern CSS3 supporting browsers. But not pre-IE9.

How can I have a background image for reference ?

HI,
I need to register align horizontally and vertically) about 100 images to the first. I don't want to stack or merge them. An ideal way to accomplish this would be to be able to set the first image as a background reference image for all images in the group. There would be left/right buttons so I could advance through the stack, a slider to adjust the visibility of the foreground image, and up/down & right/left arrows so I could move the upper image a pixel at a time in any direction. In this case I don't need to rotate the image, but this would also be something a person might want to control. Then I would move through the group of images, stopping on each one to align the image to the first. One at a time, or after I am done, it would save all the aligned images to a new filename and folder, without changing the transparency of the image or in any way using the background reference image. Without rotating the images, every pixel in the new image would be the same as in the original, except moved. I would start by resizing the canvas of all the images so they have a border area. This way I can move the image around and not lose any of it.
Of course I could put the reference image in the background layer and the image to be adjusted above it on another layer. Then i can use the background as a reference by making the upper image somewhat transparent. Finially I could delete the background layer and save the image with just the adjusted layer. But this would be tedius with 100 images, even worse if there were 1000..
Is there a reference background image capability in Photoshop CC ? Is there a better or different way to do this ? Or can Bridge do it ?

When I first posted this I had selected Photoshop as the community. After it had posted I saw it had changed and again changed it back to Photoshop. it again reset it to Premier Pro. I don't know why. Also, I had selected Refrence image as a tag and that keeps dissappearing. Even worse, there are no replies. What's the deal ?

How to set tray's background image in the custom page layout?

Hi all,
I've developed custom page layout with custom iView tray implementation. I've applied my layout into my page and added some iViews. Those iViews are URL isolated so they are rendered as an iframe. My problem is that an iframe background containing iView content overcast my background image which I have set in my iView tray implementation. Is it possible to set transparent background for an iframe in this scenario?
I would be grateful for helpful answers.
Best Regards,
Michał M.

Hi Tamil,
That's right, I've already used layout tag library do develop custom tray design but my problem concerns iView's isolation method . URL isolation renders iView's content in an iframe which has its own background. I've read some articles about getting transparent iframes but I'm not sure how could I achive this in SAP EP? Is it possible?
Best Regards,
Michal M.

How can I get the background image of my website to cycle on a timer?

I'm afraid my experience with Javascript (Which I'm certain this will require) is fairly limited and I'm still quite new to Dreamweaver, so I'm posing this question to you guys.
I'd like the background image of my website to change every five minutes or so, however I'm unsure of how to accomplish this. For those of you with Windows 7, you can set the background of your desktop to cycle through a folder of images every ten minutes or so. I'd like something similar for this website.
Thanks in advance.

Supersized can do this for you with very less need for code.
http://www.buildinternet.com/project/supersized/ - Take a look at their demo. It's also a lightweight plug-in and it has a lot of great effects you could use. Also x-browser friendly.
