How to show different images from one image on your webpage - image

Can any one tell me how to show image of Facebook, Google, etc. on different positions from this image-
to something like this-

This is what is called an image "sprite." It is a collection of images put into a single image.
You have to use CSS to choose which portion of the "sprite" file should be displayed. Check out this link from W3 schools for usage examples:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_image_sprites.asp

CSS:
for the top most image
#topimage{
background-image:url('/images/image.png');
background-position:0 0;
width:200px;
height:24px;
}
for the second image from top,
assuming the height of the each part of image to be 24px..
#secondimage{
background-image:url('/images/image.png');
background-position:0 -24px;
//-24px means the picture is shifted up by 24px so
//that the second image from top is visible
width:200px;
height:24px;
}

Width on Magento go category page not resizing properly

Can anyone please help? My category page is seriously messing with me. I set the image width to 300px which it accepts. However it doesn't accept me changing the size of the grid. So basically, It shows as much of the 300px that it can fit into the grid and slices my images in vertically.
http://www.ellamatthew.com/dresses
.products-grid li.item {width: 300px;}
.products-grid .product-image { display:block; text-decoration:none !important; margin:0 auto 10px; position:relative; width:300px; }
Is there anything else here I should be changing? Any help here would be very useful.
Thanks
first of all your div
.col2-right-layout .products-grid li.item, .col2-left-layout .products-grid li.item
is not content width:300px; it is 160px
second major problem is with your images width it contents white space from both left and right side so it is display like this disturb alignment.
i would suggest you to remove white space or make 300px box for product so you can adjust it in your layout.
let me know if i can help you more.

Making all photos square via css

I'm trying to make a series of photos into square photos. They may be rectangular horizontally (i.e. 600x400) or vertically (400x600), but I want to get them to be 175x175 either way. My thought was to max-height or max-width the smaller side, and not allow overflow beyond 175px on the larger side...however, I'm having problems with it.
Is this possible with css?
Below is my attempt, but it giving rectangles still:
<div style="min-height:175px; overflow:hidden; max-height:175px;">
<img style="min-width:175px; overflow:hidden; max-height:175px;" src="/photo.png">
</div>
You can set the width/height of the parent div then set the child img tag to width:100%; height: auto;
That will scale the image down to try to fit the parent with aspect ratio in mind.
You can also set the image as a background-image on the div
Then if you can use css3 you can mess with the background-size property.
It's attributes are: contain, cover, or a specificed height (50%, 50%) (175px, 175px)
You could also try to center the picture with background-position
<div style="background-image:url(some.png); background-size: cover; background-position: 50%">
Here's an up to date and simple answer.
For instance, if you want a squared image inside of a container.
Let's say you want the image to take 100% of the container height and have a dynamic width equal to the height:
.container {
height: 500px; /* any fixed value for the parent */
}
.img {
width: auto;
height: 100%;
aspect-ratio: 1; /* will make width equal to height (500px container) */
object-fit: cover; /* use the one you need */
}
You can switch width and height values (container & image) if you want to base the 100% on the container's width and have a computed height equal to the width.
You can use object-fit, which is widely supported in all major browsers. When set to cover, the browser will crop the image when you set the width and height properties, rather the stretching it.
<img src="whatever.jpg">
img {
width: 175px;
height: 175px;
object-fit: cover;
}
Okay I got this.
Don't know if it's too late or what, but I've come up with a 100% pure CSS way of creating square thumbnails. It's something that I've been trying to find a solution for for quite a while and have had no luck. With some experimentation, I've got it working. The main two attributes to use are OVERFLOW:HIDDEN and WIDTH/HEIGHT:AUTO.
Okay here's what to do:
Let's say you have a batch of images of varying shapes and sizes, some landscape, some portrait, but all, of course, rectangular. The first thing to do is categorize the image links (thumbnails) by either portrait or landscape, using a class selector. Okay, so let's say you want just to create two thumbnails, to make this simpler. you have:
img1.jpg (portrait) and
img2.jpg (landscape)
For HTML it would look like this:
<a class="portrait" href="yoursite/yourimages/img1.jpg"><img src="yoursite/yourimages/img1.jpg /></a>
<a class="landscape" href="yoursite/yourimages/img2.jpg"><img src="yoursite/yourimages/img2.jpg /></a>
So, at this point since there is no css yet, the above code would give you your full-sized image as a thumbnail which would link to the same full-sized image. Right, so here's the css for both portrait and landscape. There are two declarations for each (the link and the link's image):
.landscape {
float:left;
width:175px;
height:175px;
overflow:hidden;
}
.landscape img{
width:auto;
height: 175px;
}
.portrait {
float:left;
width:175px;
height:175px;
overflow:hidden;
}
.portrait img {
width:175px; <-- notice these
height: auto; <-- have switched
}
The most important things are the width and height and the overflow:hidden. Float left isn't necessary for this to work.
In the landscape thumbnail declaration (.landscape) the bounding box is set to 175 x 175 and the overflow is set to hidden. That means that any visual information larger than that containing 175px square will be hidden from view.
For the landscape image declaration (.landscape img), the height is fixed at 175px, which resizes the original height and the width is set to auto, which resizes the original width, but only to the point of relating to the bounding square, which in this case is 175px. So rather than smush the width down into the square, it simply fills the square and then any extra visual information in the width (i.e. the overflow) is hidden with the overflow:hidden.
It works the same way for portrait, only that the width and height is switched, where height is auto and width is 175px. Basically in each case, whatever dimension exceeds the other is set to auto, because naturally the larger dimension would be the one that would overflow outside of the set thumbnail dimensions (175px x 175x).
And if you want to add margins between thumbs, for instance a 5px white margin, you can use the border property, otherwise there will be no margin where the information is overflowing.
Hope this makes sense.
Determine width and height of image, then active portrait or landscape class of the image. If portrait do {height:175px; width:auto}. If landscape, reverse height and width.
I highly suggestion the NailThumb jquery plugin for anyone that is looking to do this. It allows you to create square thumbnails without distortion. http://www.garralab.com/nailthumb.php
This might help.
CSS:
.image{
-moz-border-radius: 30px; /* FF1+ */
-webkit-border-radius: 30px; /* Saf3-4 */
border-radius: 30px; /* Opera 10.5, IE 9, Saf5, Chrome */
}
HTML:
<div class="image"></div>
This worked for me. Just put the URL to the image inside the div.

How to fade a background-image to transparency?

Here's a related image:
I want to achieve something like what's pictured on the right side of my image. But I also have a parent container that has a background image of its own, instead of a solid color.
Any advice?
EDIT: Forgot to add, cross-browser compatibility is important. (Or atleast Firefox).
I can only think of one pure CSS solution and it is simply insane.
Let's say your image has a width of 100px. You'll have to create a div that's 100px wide and give it 100 children that are each 1px wide, that each have the same background (positioned accordingly) and that each have an opacity from 0 (the first child) to .99 (the last child).
Personally, I think it's crazy and I'd never use this method.
Rory O'Kane came with a nice and clean solution and I also have another idea which involves JavaScript.
Basically, the idea is that you use a canvas element (support), draw your image on it, loop through its pixels and adjust the alpha for each.
demo
(scroll down to see the result)
Relevant HTML:
<div class='parent'>
<canvas id='c' width='575' height='431'></canvas>
</div>
Relevant CSS (setting the background image on the parent)
.parent {
background: url(parent-background.jpg);
}
JavaScript:
window.onload = function() {
var c = document.getElementById('c'),
ctxt = c.getContext('2d'),
img = new Image();
img.onload = function() {
ctxt.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
var imageData = ctxt.getImageData(0, 0, 575, 431);
for(var i = 0, n = imageData.data.length; i < n; i += 4) {
imageData.data[i + 3] = 255*((i/4)%575)/575;
}
ctxt.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0);
};
/* images drawn onto the canvas must be hosted on the same web server
with the same domain as the code executing it */
/* or they can be encoded like in the demo */
img.src = 'image-drawn-on-canvas.jpg';
};

Ignoring possible CSS-only methods, you can make the image a PNG with the transparent gradient built in to the image’s alpha channel. All browsers support PNG transparency, except for IE 6 and below. Here’s what your sample image would look like as a PNG with a transparent gradient (try putting this image against other backgrounds):
If the images are user-submitted so you can’t add the gradient ahead of time, you could create and store a gradient-added version of each image at the time that the user uploads them.

IF image is too big, how do I reduce the size?

My Website
On the above link you can see that the middle news post has an image that is just too big.
The info for the news is taken out of a database so I'm not sure how to change the width of the image on only certain images. Ideally I'd like to have any image that is over 300px wide to be kept at 300px. This is what I have so far:
echo '<img src="media/'.$row['media1'].'" class="floatLeftClear" id="border">';
I tired adding width="300" to the above statement but that made ALL of the images become 300px which I don't want. I only want images bigger than 300px to be reduced to 300.
Can someone point me in the right direction please!
If you don't want to physically resize the images on the server, which would be the ideal solution, you can set the max-width property via CSS.
img {
max-width:300px;
}
Note that the property is not supported in IE6 and below.
The code helps to resizing the image. its resize the height and width depends upon the max width
function fixImgs(whichId, maxW) {
var pix=document.getElementById(whichId).getElementsByTagName('img');
for (i=0; i<pix.length; i++) {
w=pix[i].width;
h=pix[i].height;
if (w > maxW) {
f=1-((w - maxW) / w);
pix[i].width=w * f;
pix[i].height=h * f;
}
}
}
fixImgs('photos', 108); // ('element ID', maximum width)
But one thing the image size(KB) is not reduce. I hope its help to you .
Why not to add a special routine for news images layout, define max-size within it and call it for the related images?

css: set image-width inside of paragraph with specific width?

hey guys,
somehow i can't find the solution for my little problem.
i have a paragraph setting with a max-width of 630px.
in some cases i have images within one of those paragraphs - and in this case i want the image to act normal -> without any max-width setting.
.post-body p {
width:99%;
max-width: 630px;
}
.post-body p img{
max-width:100% !important;
}
is it even possible to have the image larger than the max-width setting that's set to it's parent? do i need to use javascript (jquery)?
thank you for your help.
Unless you're modifying the image width some other way, as long as you don't do anything to the image it will display at full size.
See here: http://jsfiddle.net/WrfQQ/
I didn't bother declaring any CSS for the image, so it, by default, will show up at full size. (Please note, for the sake of testing I decreased the width of the p to 100px)
As I can see the problem is that you put a MAX-width to the img... you have to code the relative width... so:
.post-body p img{
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
if you want it in jQuery the code is the below:
$('.post-body p img').width() == $('.post-body p').width();
