In this tutorial we will show you the solution of CSS background image size to fit div, as we know css used to style html elements, here we need to define div element width and height size then only we can fit background to that using ‘background-image’ property.
We have different types of option to sets background image size those are ‘cover, contain or auto’ we have to identify which one had behavior of fit to div element.
Step By Step Guide On CSS Background Image Size To Fit DIV :-
We can implement styles using three types (i.e inline,external or internal) Internal means we have to define our style within <style> tag in head block and inline means we have use style within element definition, external means we defined our css at separate file with .css extension we have to import by <link> tag within head block.
Here we used internal style method and in our program we defined one <div> element with block of style properties.
First we have to sets div element width and height after that we have to insert background image then using ‘background-size’ property value to ‘contain’ we fits background to div element.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>IMAGE SIZE TO FIT DIV</title>
<style>
div{
width: 50%;
height: 30rem;
background-image: url("background.jpg");
background-size:contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div></div>
</body>
</html>
- <!DOCTYPE html> tag which is instruct the web browser about what version of HTML file written in.
- The<html> tag is used to indicate the beginning of HTML document.
- As above shown <head> tag is containing information about webpage and if you need any external file those links are declared here. <title> tag is used for set the webpage title.
- Here we defined <div> element styles. The ‘width and height’ property used to mention div element size then ‘background-image’ property used to insert background.
- The ‘background-size’ property value sets as ‘contain’ used to fit background image size to html element size and ‘background-repeat’ property used to avoid image repeat which is occur only when our image size is too small it will repeatedly display same image to fill element size so we have to sets to ‘no-repeat’ value.
- Both <head> and <title> tags having their pair end tag, so we need to close the ending tags respectively. If you’re not closed anyone of ending tag properly that is also affect the webpage result.
- <body> tag is beginning of main coding part because it contain coding of entire website blocks and elements described here.
- Here <div> tag we defined and its styled by as we seen at point 4.
- Both </body>,</html> tags closed respectively. </body> tag indicates the end of body, Then </html> tag indicates the end of HTML document.
