pealo86 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 This is driving me nuts, I had the exact same problem about a year ago and couldn't find a solution so I just gave up. I'm trying to position a background image on the bottom of the HTML element, but it only goes so far down as 'the fold'. I've tried html, body { height:100%; } But no luck, I've even tried the same technique as here: http://www.dave-woods.co.uk/?p=144 But it still won't fix it! Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Here is my code: Code: /* general //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////*/ html, body { height: 100%; } html { background: #1e325e url('../image/html.jpg') no-repeat center 0; } body { background: url('../image/body.jpg') no-repeat center 100%; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #FFF; } h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-weight: bold; } h1 { position: absolute; top: 50px; left: 35px; font-size: 20px; text-transform: uppercase; } h2, h3 { border-bottom: #3c4a67 dotted 1px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 16px; } h4 { font-size: 15px; border-bottom: #3c4a67 dotted 1px; padding: 10px 0; margin-bottom: 18px; } h5 { font-size: 13px; } #page p, #page ul { line-height: 1.75; margin: 10px 0 15px; } a {

nano Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I don't reallyy understand the problem, could you maybe clear up what you are after? Could you be possibly looking at having an automatic height on a container, so it extends dependant on content. Then setting the background image to the bottom of the element? /* This extends the containers height automatically */ #container { height:auto; overflow:hidden; } /* Sets the background image to the bottom of the container */ #container .image { background: transparent url('') no-repeat bottom left; } You obivously have to specify widths and heights for you background images, the above code does not reflect your code, just an example. That was a stab at the dark but if you could specify what image and what you are actually looking for, then I might try and help a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katierosy Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 hi pealo86, your Question is bit confusing, if you want to position the background fixed at the bottom of the page. then here is the simple solution. html{ background:#1e325e url('../image/html.jpg') no-repeat fixed left bottom; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinede Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 @pea, did you ever fix this? if so, what did you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
