htmlcssbackground-repeat

having an image repeat itself based on browser size


So I want grass to fill from left to right right above my footer. I am having a hard time getting it to repeat itself. I set positition to fixed, and also float: left but still no luck. I would just continuously keep putting more images hardcoded in my HTML, but I feel I can do this with CSS and not have like 100 lines of extra code. Also, I want the images to grow or retract if the user makes browser larger or smaller.

live demo

HTML

<figure>
        <img src="arrow.png" alt="arrow" class="arrow">
        <p class="clickHere"> Click one! </p>

        <img src="downwardmonkey.png" alt="down" class="head">
        <img alt="down" class="footer">
    </figure>

CSS

figure img.footer
{
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 45px;
    float: left;
    background-image: "grass.png";
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

if any other code is needed to help let me know!


Solution

  • Instead of putting images tags put a div and provide background image to it

       <figure>
            <div class="grassImageDiv"></div>
       </figure>
    

    CSS:

    .grassImageDiv
    {
        display: inline-block;
        background-image: url("grass.png");
        width:100%; //To make it browser size independent
        height: 80px;
    }
    

    You can give height and width according to your need.
