Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) ok my problem now is that i need it to auto width the image that needs to be use so then I can use <div> tags for the content without the need for the image to expand from left to right. heres the css for the image wrap <style type="text/css">span { background-image: url(images/gfxtrap_42.gif); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: top left, bottom right; height: 200px; border: 0px;}</style> heres the rest of the website code. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 the question is I need to stretch the whole image out from left to right with out the need to put text in it and then use a <div> tag for the content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inspiron 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible for image stretching in CSS. That's the problem which I faced as well and I had to decide a standard dimension to follow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyssen 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 You can't stretch a background image. You can repeat it though. You can stretch an image in the HTML though if you specify its width and height in the CSS and use ems as your unit, e.g.: img#yourImage { width: 2em; height: 3em; } Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 well my other problem is that im using a imaged background as well so thats why i need to stretch the image out .it would have been fine if I used it without the background and just used the normal background of the website.

Tyssen 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 Like I said: you can't stretch background images - they only appear at their true dimensions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) if thats the case I shouldn't be having this problem then with this size of the image. But it comes out the full image when i max it out with the armount of characters that i need to do it.

jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 Ad that em measurement doesn't seem to work onMozilla, although it works with Opera and IE. Mozilla idnores the increase in size, apparently. I even cleaned the cache so it wouldn't pick it up out of there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
