I was able to target the img with JQuery to have it fade in on page load exactly as I wanted – once the image was really ready for display – no room for error and no room for JQuery launching the fadein before the image had finished downloading.Ĭredits for this technique goes to : (which is where I first saw this concept and expanded from it). I know… it’s not ‘pure’, but it does the trick so well… I then found another approach which works as far as I can tell in all browsers, does not use JS or Flash and answered my requirements. Depending on what is was going on page load, there was no sure way to control the process. But its JS was conflicting with other elements and I did not like the fact that the image could not fade in nicely all the time.

One thing I wanted to find is a cross browser solution whichĪ) Resized using the center for the image and not the top partī) Was able to fade in on page load (with full ‘preloading’ control)Ĭ) Used a minimum amount of code for fast page rendering. I’ve been exploring all kinds of non-flash fullscreen solutions for my designs. It had some cleverness, but wasn’t quite as good as either CSS technique now presented above. Just for posterity’s sake, there is another example in here called table.php which uses an old technique that used to be a part of this article.
Always cool to see techniques “in the wild.”

If you use this, please feel free to leave what technique you used and if you altered it in any way in the comments below. Note that screen width isn’t the only possible good information to have when choosing an image size. We set a fixed and centered background on it, then adjust it’s size using background-size set to the cover keyword. We’ll use the html element (better than body as it’s always at least the height of the browser window). We can do this purely through CSS thanks to the background-size property now in CSS3. Isn’t some fancy shenanigans like Flash.As cross-browser compatible as possible.Retains image proportions (aspect ratio).Fills entire page with image, no white space.The goal here is a background image on a website that covers the entire browser window at all times. Both original methods are removed and now replaced by four new methods. This post was originally published on Augand is now updated as it has been entirely revised.
