my question is about the image at the footer. i have a wrapper div with a width of 900px, at the top of the page will be the content inside the wrapper div and at the bottom of the page i want a background image which should appear 100% of the width and height which is the height of the image.

within this footer div which i need the background image i also want content to be inside the 900px wrapper div so i set the footer div to width: 100% and height 684px which is the height of the background image however this background image is not appearing at 100% width but stopping at 976px which is the width of the image

how do i make the background image appear 100% of the width and have the footer content sitting within this background image

please advice

@ctozAug 24.2010 — I haven't checked your css. However, you can't stretch a background-image: you can only tile it... not much help in your case.

Within your footer div, nest a div that's going to contain the image:

div#forBG {

width:100%; height:100%; position:relative; z-index:-1; overflow hidden;

}

/* ie, full width and height of the footer div, and below any content in it */

Now style your 'background' image:

img#myfooterBG {

width:100%; height:auto;

}

/* full width of containing div, height adjusted to maintain aspect ratio; the 'overflow:hidden' on the containing div should take care of any 'extra' part of the image */

cheers

Success!
