I want all (or just some) of my images getting resized automatically when I resize my browser window. I've found the following code - it doesn't do anything though.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="icons">
<div id="contact">
<img src="img/icon_contact.png" alt="" />
</div>
<img src="img/icon_links.png" alt="" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS
body {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 11px;
color: #ffffff;
background: #202020 url(../../img/body_back.jpg) no-repeat top center fixed;
background-size: cover;
}
#icons {
position: absolute;
bottom: 22%;
right: 8%;
width: 400px;
height: 80px;
z-index: 8;
transform: rotate(-57deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(-57deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(-57deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(-57deg);
}
#contact {
float: left;
cursor: pointer;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
How can I basically have a fullscreen design (with background-size: cover) and have div elements be at exactly the same position (% wise) when resizing the browser window, with their size also resizing (like cover is doing for the background)?
This question is related to

responsive-design
This may be too simplistic of an answer (I am still new here), but what I have done in the past to remedy this situation is figured out the percentage of the screen I would like the image to take up. For example, there is one webpage I am working on where the logo must take up 30% of the screen size to look best. I played around and finally tried this code and it has worked for me thus far:
img {
width:30%;
height:auto;
}
That being said, this will change all of your images to be 30% of the screen size at all times. To get around this issue, simply make this a class and apply it to the image that you desire to be at 30% directly. Here is an example of the code I wrote to accomplish this on the aforementioned site:
the CSS portion:
.logo {
position:absolute;
right:25%;
top:0px;
width:30%;
height:auto;
}
the HTML portion:
<img src="logo_001_002.png" class="logo">
Alternatively, you could place ever image you hope to automatically resize into a div of its own and use the class tag option on each div (creating now class tags whenever needed), but I feel like that would cause a lot of extra work eventually. But, if the site calls for it: the site calls for it.
Hopefully this helps. Have a great day!
image container
Scaling images using the above trick only works if the container the images are in changes size.
The #icons container uses px values for the width and height. px values don't scale when the browser is resized.
Solutions
Use one of the following approaches:
% values.@media queries to set the width and height to different values based on the current screen size.The following works on all browsers for my 200 figures, for any width percentage -- despite being illegal. Jukka said 'Use it anyway.' (The class just floats the image left or right and sets margins.) I can't imagine why this isn't the standard approach!
<img class="fl" width="66%"
src="A-Images/0.5_Saltation.jpg"
alt="Schematic models of chromosomes ..." />
Change the window width and the image scales obligingly.
