I often float images either left or right around text on desktop but I want them centered for small mobile devices and the paragraph to drop below the image using Responsive design. I've got the paragraph dropping below the image using an online mobile viewing device but not when I try to view it via my computer. The image won't center online or on my computer.
Here is what I have found after many hours of research:
I have this set up for all images:
img{
border:0;
max-width:100%;
height:auto;
}
I have this set up for all paragraphs: it pushes the paragraph down below a floated image when the width of the paragraph is less than 10em (about 200 px).
p:before{
content: "";
width: 10em;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}
I have applied the following for images to media queries less than 320 and max of 480:
img{
max-width:100%;
display:block!important;
margin:0 auto !important;
float:none !important;
}
(i had to add !important to some of them or they wouldn't take but it's still not accepting margin: 0 auto; )
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Here you have a working update of what you need: http://jsfiddle.net/ancpjmet/3/
I changed min-devide-width to min-width and max-devide-width to max-width to be able to see the changes on my desktop browser in Google Chrome.
You have to set the div wrapping the img to float: none;, not the img:
#media only screen and (min-width:320px) and (max-width:480px) {
#image-wrapper{
float: none !important;
}
#image-wrapper img{
max-width: 80%;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
}
I also rebuild your .clearfix class to be more consistant and work in all browsers:
.clearfix:before,
.clearfix:after {
content: '\0020';
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
visibility: hidden;
width: 0;
height: 0; }
.clearfix:after {
clear: both; }
.clearfix {
zoom: 1; }
Take a look at the changes in the jsfiddle given.
Currently, I am using width: 100% to make my image scale with the window size.
I would like to know how I can make the image scale down and not become distorted.
I simply changed the image width too width: 100% and changed height to height:auto to fix this for anyone that might need to know.
eg.
img {
width: 100%;
height:auto;
}
EDIT:
To ensure image widths don't go larger than their containers
img {
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
height:auto;
}
I did this and it worked out for me. I did not want the big slider on the homepage so i resized it, then i found out it was not responsive anymore. I added some codes and tested it, some did not work, some did. Finally this is the code to and resize the slider, and keep it responsive!!
.flexslider {max-width: 700px; margin: -20; padding: 0;}
.flexslider .slides > li {display: none; -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;} /* Hide the slides before the JS is loaded. Avoids image jumping */
.flexslider .slides img {
display: block;
max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: - auto;
}
}
I'm trying to fill a window with an image. I'm using CSS to try to work this, but I was wondering if there's a way to maximize the width/height of the image until all the white space is filled, but not ruin the quality.
<div class='rel-img-cont'>
<img src='src.jpg' />
</div>
.rel-img-cont
{
width: 100px; height: 100px; overflow: hidden;
}
.rel-img-cont img
{
height: 100px; margin:0 0 0 0;
}
How can I fill the white space so even if one of the sizes has to overflow, it will only go up to 100px.
Is there a way to do this even if the original image is say, 100px x 100px or 150px x 200px, no matter which one, 100px is max, so one of the sides will have to give.
Thanks
You may find background-size css property interesting. Because this property does the same which you are trying to approach here. But this will work for background-image.
background-size: 100% 100%;
.rel-img-cont {
width: 100%;
height: 100%; }
.rel-img-cont img {
height:100%;
width:100%; }
Please see the demo
You can make width as 100% and leave the height to auto. And use only those img's which are proportionate to your div.
Use this code which is tested on my machine
<style>
.rel-img-cont
{
width: 10%; height: 10%; overflow: hidden;
border:3px solid orange;
}
.rel-img-cont img
{
height: 100%; margin:0 0 0 0;
width:100%;
}
</style>
Its better to use % instead of px in this case
<div id="Maindiv" style="width:100px;height:100px">
<img id="Img" src="http://blog.flattr.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/stackoverflow.png" alt="Image" />
</div>
CSS
#Maindiv img
{
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
At the moment I have this image:
What I've been asked to do is to give it this effect:
Forget about the background color - notice the reflection of part of the image underneath, still the same color but with an opacity-style effect on it.
I have tried using opacity, and webkit-reflection in CSS3 but have had no luck.
I've now taken that code out as it doesn't work, I'm just left with the original image:
.infrareporting_host_0 {
background: url("../interface/infrareporting/hostLightGreen.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
}
Please remember:
I only want exactly what is shown - a lower section of the image reflecting, NOT the whole image reflecting
How can I fade the opacity of the reflected image ONLY? the normal one I want to stay the same but fade the reflection
A cross-browser solution is best (atm I can only do it in chrome)
Update
So far my code is reflecting properly in chrome only but opacity is not working correctly. I have this:
-webkit-box-reflect: below -3px -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(transparent), color-stop(.7, transparent), to(white));
you can do as following :
html :
<div class="image-block">
<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/mbf9p.png" alt="" />
<div class="reflection">
<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/mbf9p.png" alt="" />
<div class="overlay"></div>
</div>
</div>
css :
.image-block { width:78px; margin:0px 10px; float:left; }
.reflection { position:relative; }
.reflection img {
-webkit-transform: scaleY(-1);
-moz-transform: scaleY(-1);
-ms-transform: scaleY(-1);
-o-transform: scaleY(-1);
transform: scaleY(-1);
filter: flipv; opacity:0.20;
filter: alpha(opacity='20');
}
.overlay { position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; width:78px; height:120px;
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient( center bottom, rgb(255,255,255) 60%, rgba(255,255,255,0) 75%);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient( rgba(255,255,255,0) 25%, rgb(255,255,255) 40%);
background-image: -webkit-gradient( linear, left bottom, left top, color-stop(0.60, rgb(255,255,255)), color-stop(0.75, rgba(255,255,255,0)));
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient( gradientType=0, startColor=0, EndColorStr=#ffffff);
}
check live demo here : demo
You can use CSS 3 for it:
.reflect {
-webkit-box-reflect: below 0
-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(transparent), color-stop(0.5, transparent), to(white));
}
Or alternatives like this one:
http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/htmlcss-tutorials/cross-browser-css-reflections-glows-and-blurs/
Use this code:
.infrareporting_host_0::before,
.infrareporting_host_0::after
{
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
z-index: -1;
width: inherit;
height: inherit;
display: block;
}
.infrareporting_host_0::before
{
background: inherit;
}

I need to make this image stretch to the maximum size possible without overflowing it's <div> or skewing the image.
I can't predict the aspect-ratio of the image, so there's no way to know whether to use:
<img src="url" style="width: 100%;">
or
<img src="url" style="height: 100%;">
I can't use both (i.e. style="width: 100%; height: 100%;") because that will stretch the image to fit the <div>.
The <div> has a size set by percentage of the screen, which is also unpredictable.
Update 2016:
Modern browser behave much better. All you should need to do is to set the image width to 100% (demo)
.container img {
width: 100%;
}
Since you don't know the aspect ratio, you'll have to use some scripting. Here is how I would do it with jQuery (demo):
CSS
.container {
width: 40%;
height: 40%;
background: #444;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.container img.wide {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
height: auto;
}
.container img.tall {
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
width: auto;
}
HTML
<div class="container">
<img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/wrltuc.jpg" />
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="container">
<img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/i1bek8.jpg" />
</div>
Script
$(window).load(function(){
$('.container').find('img').each(function(){
var imgClass = (this.width/this.height > 1) ? 'wide' : 'tall';
$(this).addClass(imgClass);
})
})
There is a much easier way to do this using only CSS and HTML:
HTML:
<div
class="fill"
style="background-image: url('path/to/image.jpg');">
</div>
CSS:
.fill {
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
This will place your image as the background, and stretch it to fit the div size without distortion.
Not a perfect solution, but this CSS might help. The zoom is what makes this code work, and the factor should theoretically be infinite to work ideally for small images - but 2, 4, or 8 works fine in most cases.
#myImage {
zoom: 2; //increase if you have very small images
display: block;
margin: auto;
height: auto;
max-height: 100%;
width: auto;
max-width: 100%;
}
If you're able to set the image as a background-image then you can do something like this, which will crop the image without stretching it:
<div style="background-image: url(...); background-size: cover; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></div>
If you need to stick with an <img> tag, then as of 2019, you can now use the object-fit css property that accepts the following values:
fill | contain | cover | none | scale-down
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/object-fit
As an example, you could have a container that holds an image:
<div class="container">
<img src="" class="container_img" />
</div>
.container {
height: 50px;
width: 50%;
}
.container_img {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
}
If you can, use background images and set background-size: cover. This will make the background cover the whole element.
CSS
div {
background-image: url(path/to/your/image.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-size: cover;
}
If you're stuck with using inline images there are a few options. First, there is
object-fit
This property acts on images, videos and other objects similar to background-size: cover.
CSS
img {
object-fit: cover;
}
Sadly, browser support is not that great with IE up to version 11 not supporting it at all. The next option uses jQuery
CSS + jQuery
HTML
<div>
<img src="image.png" class="cover-image">
</div>
CSS
div {
height: 8em;
width: 15em;
}
Custom jQuery plugin
(function ($) {
$.fn.coverImage = function(contain) {
this.each(function() {
var $this = $(this),
src = $this.get(0).src,
$wrapper = $this.parent();
if (contain) {
$wrapper.css({
'background': 'url(' + src + ') 50% 50%/contain no-repeat'
});
} else {
$wrapper.css({
'background': 'url(' + src + ') 50% 50%/cover no-repeat'
});
}
$this.remove();
});
return this;
};
})(jQuery);
Use the plugin like this
jQuery('.cover-image').coverImage();
It will take an image, set it as a background image on the image's wrapper element and remove the img tag from the document. Lastly you could use
Pure CSS
You might use this as a fallback. The image will scale up to cover it's container but it won't scale down.
CSS
div {
height: 8em;
width: 15em;
overflow: hidden;
}
div img {
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
max-width: none;
max-height: none;
display: block;
position: relative;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
Hope this might help somebody, happy coding!
Thanks to CSS3
img
{
object-fit: contain;
}
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/object-fit
IE and EDGE as always outsiders:
http://caniuse.com/#feat=object-fit
That's impossible with just HTML and CSS, or at least wildly exotic and complicated. If you're willing to throw some javascript in, here's a solution using jQuery:
$(function() {
$(window).resize(function() {
var $i = $('img#image_to_resize');
var $c = $img.parent();
var i_ar = $i.width() / $i.height(), c_ar = $c.width() / $c.height();
$i.width(i_ar > c_ar ? $c.width() : $c.height() * (i_ar));
});
$(window).resize();
});
That will resize the image so that it will always fit inside the parent element, regardless of it's size. And as it's binded to the $(window).resize() event, when user resizes the window, the image will adjust.
This does not try to center the image in the container, that would be possible but I guess that's not what you're after.
You can use object-fit: cover; on the parent div.
https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/o/object-fit/
Set width and height of the outer container div. Then use below styling on img:
.container img{
width:100%;
height:auto;
max-height:100%;
}
This will help you to keep an aspect ratio of your img
If you want to set a max width or height (so that it will not be very large) while keeping the images aspect-ratio, you can do this:
img{
object-fit: contain;
max-height: 70px;
}
I came across this question searching for a simular problem. I'm making a webpage with responsive design and the width of elements placed on the page is set to a percent of the screen width. The height is set with a vw value.
Since I'm adding posts with PHP and a database backend, pure CSS was out of the question. I did however find the jQuery/javascript solution a bit troblesome, so I came up with a neat (so I think myself at least) solution.
HTML (or php)
div.imgfill {
float: left;
position: relative;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-size: cover;
width: 33.333%;
height: 18vw;
border: 1px solid black; /*frame of the image*/
margin: -1px;
}
<div class="imgfill" style="background-image:url(source/image.jpg);">
This might be some info
</div>
<div class="imgfill" style="background-image:url(source/image2.jpg);">
This might be some info
</div>
<div class="imgfill" style="background-image:url(source/image3.jpg);">
This might be some info
</div>
By using style="" it's posible to have PHP update my page dynamically and the CSS-styling together with style="" will end up in a perfectly covered image, scaled to cover the dynamic div-tag.
To make this image stretch to the maximum size possible without overflowing it's or skewing the image.
Apply...
img {
object-fit: cover;
height: -webkit-fill-available;
}
styles to the image.
Using this method you can fill in your div with the image varying ratio of divs and images.
jQuery:
$(window).load(function(){
$('body').find(.fillme).each(function(){
var fillmeval = $(this).width()/$(this).height();
var imgval = $this.children('img').width()/$this.children('img').height();
var imgClass;
if(imgval > fillmeval){
imgClass = "stretchy";
}else{
imgClass = "stretchx";
}
$(this).children('img').addClass(imgClass);
});
});
HTML:
<div class="fillme">
<img src="../images/myimg.jpg" />
</div>
CSS:
.fillme{
overflow:hidden;
}
.fillme img.stretchx{
height:auto;
width:100%;
}
.fillme img.stretchy{
height:100%;
width:auto;
}
This did the trick for me
div img {
width: 100%;
min-height: 500px;
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
object-fit: cover;
}
if you working with IMG tag, it's easy.
I made this:
<style>
#pic{
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
}
#pic img{
height: 225px;
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
<div id="pic"><img src="images/menu.png"></div>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#pic img').attr({ 'style':'height:25%; display:none; left:100px; top:100px;' })
)}
but i didn't find how to make it work with #pic { background:url(img/menu.png)}
Enyone?
Thanks
I had similar issue. I resolved it with just CSS.
Basically Object-fit: cover helps you achieve the task of maintaining the aspect ratio while positioning an image inside a div.
But the problem was Object-fit: cover was not working in IE and it was taking 100% width and 100% height and aspect ratio was distorted. In other words image zooming effect wasn't there which I was seeing in chrome.
The approach I took was to position the image inside the container with absolute and then place it right at the centre using the combination:
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
Once it is in the centre, I give to the image,
// For vertical blocks (i.e., where height is greater than width)
height: 100%;
width: auto;
// For Horizontal blocks (i.e., where width is greater than height)
height: auto;
width: 100%;
This makes the image get the effect of Object-fit:cover.
Here is a demonstration of the above logic.
https://jsfiddle.net/furqan_694/s3xLe1gp/
This logic works in all browsers.
HTML:
<style>
#foo, #bar{
width: 50px; /* use any width or height */
height: 50px;
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
<div id="foo" style="background-image: url('path/to/image1.png');">
<div id="bar" style="background-image: url('path/to/image2.png');">
JSFiddle
...And if you want to set or change the image (using #foo as an example):
jQuery:
$("#foo").css("background-image", "url('path/to/image.png')");
JavaScript:
document.getElementById("foo").style.backgroundImage = "url('path/to/image.png')";
Many of the solutions found here have some limitation: some not working in IE ( object-fit) or older browsers, other solutions do not scale up the images (only shrink it), many solution do not support resize of the window and many are not generic, either expect fix resolution or layout(portrait or landscape)
If using javascript and jquery is not a problem I have this solution based on the code of #Tatu Ulmanen. I fixed some issues, and added some code in case the image is loaded dinamically and not available at begining. Basically the idea is to have two different css rules and apply them when required: one when the limitation is the height, so we need to show black bars at the sides, and othe css rule when the limitation is the width, so we need to show black bars at the top/bottom.
function applyResizeCSS(){
var $i = $('img#imageToResize');
var $c = $i.parent();
var i_ar = Oriwidth / Oriheight, c_ar = $c.width() / $c.height();
if(i_ar > c_ar){
$i.css( "width","100%");
$i.css( "height","auto");
}else{
$i.css( "height","100%");
$i.css( "width","auto");
}
}
var Oriwidth,Oriheight;
$(function() {
$(window).resize(function() {
applyResizeCSS();
});
$("#slide").load(function(){
Oriwidth = this.width,
Oriheight = this.height;
applyResizeCSS();
});
$(window).resize();
});
For an HTML element like:
<img src="images/loading.gif" name="imageToResize" id="imageToResize"/>
try this
HTML:
<div class="container"></div>
CSS:
.container{
background-image: url("...");
background-size: 100%;
background-position: center;
}
