CSS Div Background Image Fixed Height 100 Width

Question

I m trying to setup a series of div s with a background image that each have their own fixed height  and stretch to fill up the width  even if there is overflow on the top bottom that is clipped   I just don t want the white space on the edges   Currently  I have  http   jsfiddle net ndKWN   CSS       main-container           float left          width 100           margin 0          padding 0          text-align  center              chapter          position  relative          height  1400px          z-index  1              chapter1      background  url http   omset files wordpress com 2010 06 homer-simpson-1-264a0 jpg  50  0 no-repeat fixed          height 1200px              chapter2      background  url http   download ultradownloads com br wallpaper 94781 Papel-de-Parede-Homer-Simpson--94781 1680x1050 jpg  50  0 no-repeat fixed          height 1200px

http   jsfiddle net ndKWN 1    You can use background-size  cover

But the thing is that the  chapter class is not dynamic you re declaring a height 1200px   so it s better to use background cover and set with media queries specific height s for popular resolutions

See my answer to a similar question here   It sounds like you want a background-image to keep it s own aspect ratio while expanding to 100  width and getting cropped off on the top and bottom  If that s the case  do something like this    chapter       position  relative      height  1200px      z-index  1      chapter1       background-image  url http   omset files wordpress com 2010 06 homer-simpson-1-264a0 jpg       background-repeat  no-repeat      background-size  100  auto      background-position  center top      background-attachment  fixed      jsfiddle  http   jsfiddle net ndKWN 3   The problem with this approach is that you have the container elements at a fixed height  so there can be space below if the screen is small enough   If you want the height to keep the image s aspect ratio  you ll have to do something like what I wrote in an edit to the answer I linked to above  Set the container s height to 0 and set the padding-bottom to the percentage of the width    chapter       position  relative      height  0      padding-bottom  75       z-index  1      chapter1       background-image  url http   omset files wordpress com 2010 06 homer-simpson-1-264a0 jpg       background-repeat  no-repeat      background-size  100  auto      background-position  center top      background-attachment  fixed      jsfiddle  http   jsfiddle net ndKWN 4   You could also put the padding-bottom percentage into each  chapter style if each image has a different aspect ratio  In order to use different aspect ratios  divide the height of the original image by it s own width  and multiply by 100 to get the percentage value
