Rotate image depending on screen size - image

I am trying to figure out how to rotate an image in a div depending on the screen size.
Basically there is this set up:
<div> <div with arrow pointing right > <div>
in a fluid row (bootstrap) and I need the arrow image to rotate 90 degrees to a down position because when in a mobile the divs will stack.
I thought about using a blank <div> and a background-image and media queries to change the image, but having to have a blank <div> with set pixel dimensions isn't great (or is it?).
Another thought was to have an <img> of the arrow inside the <div> and perhaps use jQuery to rotate it depending on screen size, but seems OTT, and possibly beyond me to figure out how to do it.
Any suggestions or hints would be more than welcomed. Maybe I am missing something really simple.

The solution from #Stuart works well -- here's another possiblity that uses CSS. This isn't necessarily a better answer, just different.
http://jsfiddle.net/panchroma/u4zWp/
HTML
<img src="../image1.jpg" class="rotateMobile">
CSS
#media (max-width: 480px) {
.rotateMobile{
transform:rotate(90deg);
-ms-transform:rotate(90deg); /* IE 9 */
-moz-transform:rotate(90deg); /* Firefox */
-webkit-transform:rotate(90deg); /* Safari and Chrome */
-o-transform:rotate(90deg); /* Opera */
}
}
Good luck!

If you create two separate identical elements with two different images, you could set one to diplay at one size and hide the other, and vice-versa.
For example:
Html
<img class="arrow" src="arrow.png" />
<img class="arrow90" src="arrow90.png" />
Css
.arrow{display:block;}
.arrow90{display:none;}
#media handheld, only screen and (max-width: 491px) {
.arrow{display:none;}
.arrow90{display:block;}
}

image breakpoint srcset - what to do with larger images used in middle viewport sizes?

I've been working on a new responsive website design and I have a gallery containing a grid of images which when the browser viewport is 768px or above spans 4 columns wide (so each image is about 25% of the viewport). Anything 767px or lower is only 1 column wide (making it full width at lesser resolutions).
The images at desktop size (over 768px) should be 220px wide (4 image columns).
Between 480px and 767px should be upto 420px wide (1 image column).
And mobile size (under 479px) should be upto 260px wide (1 image column).
I have three sources for each image. 220px, 260px and 420px.
As you can see from the above, the sizes don't follow the normal conventions of the smaller the viewport the smaller the image, so I've been researching and trying various options.
Following suggestions, I've been using Google Chrome in incognito mode and also inprivate browsing for internet explorer, with the browser viewports started small before loading the page, etc... to ensure any changes I've been making get updated.
The current code I've come to is the closest I've got to making it work and it is following an answer to someone's query (similar to mine) here on stack overflow. However, when trying to implement it I can't seem to get the browser to load the right images still, it always loads the larger 420px wide image.
my code is currently like so:
<img sizes="(min-width: 767px) 420px, 100vm"
srcset="images/thumbs/image_420.jpg 420w,
images/thumbs/image_260.jpg 260w,
images/thumbs/image_220.jpg 220w"
src="images/thumbs/image_220.jpg"
alt="example image"
/>
A second query whilst I'm on the subject. Would it be best to set the default img src in my scenario to the 260px image? As this would cover both desktop and mobile browsers in the event the srcset isn't understood and only the middle sized viewport (460-767px) would suffer. Or is it always best to set the default image to the smallest size?
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.
-- EDIT --
Just a quick update, I thought I'd logically figured it out yesterday but it didn't work so I'm not sure I still understand the whole concept of the calculations. My latest edit looks like so:
<img sizes="(min-width: 460px) 420px, (min-width: 768px) 220px, 100vm"
srcset="images/thumbs/image_420.jpg 420w,
images/thumbs/image_260.jpg 260w,
images/thumbs/image_220.jpg 220w"
src="images/thumbs/image_260.jpg"
alt="example image"
/>
So in my mind I think that the sizes section I've listed states... if viewport is at least 460px then use the 420px image, else if viewport is at least 768px use the 260px image. Then the last 100vm means otherwise use whichever is best at full viewport width.
I've also amended the default file to be the 260px file as this fits most of the viewport sizes if something hasn't been recognised.
However, the above edit still loads only the 420px image.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Even if its just to correct my logic!
sizes is evaluated left-to-right. So the order is important. If the viewport is 1000px, then the first media condition (min-width: 460px) will match, and so that size 420px is chosen, and the rest of the sizes attribute is not evaluated at all.
Also, the unit should be vw, not vm.
So it should be:
<img sizes="(min-width: 768px) 220px, (min-width: 460px) 420px, 100vw"
srcset="images/thumbs/image_420.jpg 420w,
images/thumbs/image_260.jpg 260w,
images/thumbs/image_220.jpg 220w"
src="images/thumbs/image_260.jpg"
alt="example image"
/>
As for your second query, technically you can choose any image you like (even one not listed in srcset), but your reasoning makes sense to me. The only thing I would recommend is to put your chosen src image first in srcset, because older WebKit with partial x-only srcset implementation will pick the first item when it doesn't understand the descriptors.

Fixed Positioning not working in Safari 7

I'm having a problem on a website with Safari 7 (on OSX).
The website address is:
<Edit: Address not valid anymore. Sorry.>
If you click on vertical newsletter button, on the right edge of the content box, an overlay will pop-up.
This overlay looks good on most browser, but there is a problem with safari.
The overlay content is an absolutely positioned box of fixed width. It contains a div with the class "bg", which is a div with CSS position set to fixed and CSS top, right, bottom left set to 0.
The desired (and normally obtained) effect, is that this bg box sizes up to the width and height of the viewport. In safari, it just behaves as if it had it's position set to "absolute" - it just sizes up to the width and height of the container div.
Is this a known issue with Safari? Is there a bug filed? An update?
I could probably fix that by rewriting small parts of the HTML, CSS and JavaScript (if someone has an easier solution, you're welcome to share it!) but I'd like to understand what's happening at first.
I'm not sure what's going on with that positioning thing, but here was my approach to get the same result across the browsers:
#overlays .overlay { /* line 1081 */
...
width: 100%;
height:100%;
...
}
#overlays .overlay .content.text { /* line 1185 */
...
margin:0 auto;
...
}
You could use Z-index but Z-index is not reliable with position:fixed, as shown in this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mZMkE/2/ use translateZ transformation instead.
transform:translateZ(1px);
on your page elements.
EDIT: In your code, Add this css:
.bla, .projects, .contact {
-webkit-transform:translateZ(1px);
-moz-transform:translateZ(1px);
-o-transform:translateZ(1px);
transform:translateZ(1px);
}
and then remove z-index refs from those elements and .intro.
Also You can try in other browsers as well

Hover on image a

I am making a website in Joomla.
And on my front page I have some images, which are links.
I want these images a's to get a slightly green effect, like opacity + green and stil have the original images below.
Is this possible to do with only css?
I can get the opacity to work, but not the green color.
Hope some one can help me.
Here is my site. it is the the small images under "Referencer" and "Nyheder"
This is doable with CSS. The main trick is that the links currently aren't surrounding the img block because their display type is inline.
Assuming the following HTML:
<img src="..." />
This is the CSS you need:
a.greenish {
background: green;
display: inline-block;
}
a.greenish img {
opacity: 0.5;
}
Adjust green and opacity to taste, obviously.
See this lovely jsfiddle for an example. Note that this includes addition CSS in case you only want it to turn green when hovered.
You won't be able to do what you want with pure CSS easily. There is no "overlay" in CSS. You can manipulate the background color/opacity, but the image would always be on top of that so it would not achieve the effect you want.
What you will need to do is to make the image the background of the A, then change the background do a similar image with the effect already applied. The images are small so you could easily make them sprites with the over look all in the same image. I did exactly this on the social icons at the top of my company website - http://www.bnrbranding.com/

resize img src inside fixed div

How do I resize the visible portion of my image inside postbox-inner? How do I resize the overall box of postbox-outer?
I'm basically looking for smaller images because a lot of them are invariably low-res and tend to pixelate in ugly ways, or alternately a way to resize my grid.
Preferably both.
<!--{block:Photo}-->
<div class="postbox-outer">
<div class="postbox-inner"
<a href="{Permalink}">
<img src="{PhotoURL-500}" alt="{PhotoAlt}" border="0" />
{block:Caption}<span class="desc">{Caption}</span>{/block:Caption}
</a>
</div>
</div>
<!--{/block:Photo}-->
As I understand it, you want the images to be displayed at it's best possible size. If it's a huge image you want it constrained within the div. If it's a small image you don't want it to fill the div. The best thing I could suggest is to set the max-width for the image to 100%. Here's the CSS rule:
img { max-width: 100%; }
Hopefully this should work out fine. Do let me know if this answers your question.

CSS image overlay for image hyperlinks

I have a menu made up of images and on a:hover I want to add a background image rather than simply doing image replacements (all in CSS, no JavaScript).
However, if I simply change the background image, while transparency and horizontal alignment are fine, it's just at the wrong vertical placement. No matter what I try the background image goes to the very bottom of the image and you see about a text height of background image below the main menu image.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
In it's simplest form it can be repeated as follows:
<html>
<head>
<style>a:hover{background:url('over.png');}</style>
</head>
<body>
<img src="item.png" style="border:0; " />
</body>
</html>
item.png is showing about 10 pixels of the top of its image at the bottom of over.png
Thanks.
Adding background-position: x y; still only shows the over.png at the bottom of the image and crops it to the height of one character.
Below shows the two images and what comes out on the right
It'd be easier to debug if you gave us a screenshot and some code. But it sounds like you might just need to position the background image within the element using background-position. You can use pixels, percentages or just top,bottom,left,right to place a background image wherever you want it within an element. http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background-position.asp. You might also want to look into image sprites for rollover effects. You would place the original and rollover images onto one file and simple change the background-position on hover.
