CNXTim Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi,Firstly I am very much a CSS and CSS3 "newbie" so my apologies if my naiveness causes any angst.The goal is to use a very specific background image for a website that will always show in the best aspect ratio and fill the screen of whatever device is viewing the site.An example that works is this website that uses a B/W photo;http://www.flemingsteele.com/ It appears to me that I have two options; 1:Write some JavaScript and combine it with a novel stylesheet as advised on another forum; There is a layer with id="image" that contains the image that you see.This layer is over the body and under the rest of layers (They have the correct value in the attribute "z-index"). Also, the layer has inline attributes like "height: 328px; width: 1424px" to define how it shows.I suppose that when you change the screen resolution, a script recalculates the height and width and then changes the attributes. So the browser can resize the image without (a need) to reload it. 2:Make use of the new properties of the CSS3 Background Command as outlined here;http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.asp Naturally, I would prefer the more elegant solution 2 if it will achieve my goal, but so far I have not been able to get this to work past centring the image (see example file attached) , but like I said, I am a rank newbie. Any advice or guidance you could offer would be greatly appreciated, solseppy_03.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXTim Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hi all,OK, after much searching, it looks like this is the most elegant solution;http://www.buildinte...d/download.htmlWhilst this is a very cool background slideshow, it can also be set to a static background and solves the issue, I thought the 190 odd viewers would like the update, Regards CNXTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
