Background does not extend beyond the visible screen area

I'm currently working on a website project for the students at my school, but I've encountered a minor issue. When scrolling left or right, the background doesn't extend to cover the entire page; instead, it stops where the edge of the page was before scrolling. However, this problem disappears when the browser window is widened.

Below is the HTML structure:

 <!-- Insert your HTML code here -->

And here's the corresponding CSS:

 /* Insert your CSS code here */

If you need additional CSS related to the slider, feel free to ask, and I'll provide that information as well.

Being relatively new to this forum, please bear with any formatting issues in my post. Thank you!

Answer №1

To correct the width of the body, there are various methods available. One approach is to determine the optimal resolution for the website and set the width accordingly, such as choosing a 1000px width for a 1024x768 resolution.

Alternatively, this adjustment can be made dynamically using JavaScript, where the width of the body is determined at runtime based on the client machine's resolution.

Below is an example of JavaScript code that accomplishes this:

var theWidth, theHeight;
// Window dimensions:
if (window.innerWidth) {
  theWidth = window.innerWidth;
}
else if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientWidth) {
  theWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
}
else if (document.body) {
  theWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
}
if (window.innerHeight) {
  theHeight = window.innerHeight;
}
else if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientHeight) {
  theHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
}
else if (document.body) {
  theHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
}
if (screen.width > theWidth) {
  theWidth = screen.width;
}
cssCode = 'body{
             width:' + (theWidth - 20) + 'px;
             min-height:' + (theHeight - 50) + 'px;
             margin:0;
           }';
addCss(cssCode);

function addCss(cssCode) {
  var styleElement = document.createElement("style");
  styleElement.type = "text/css";
  if (styleElement.styleSheet) {
    styleElement.styleSheet.cssText = cssCode;
  } else {
    styleElement.appendChild(document.createTextNode(cssCode));
  }
  document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(styleElement);
}
