Display the background image beyond the boundaries of the div element

I am facing an issue with an image background on a website. The background consists of leaves spreading out to the middle of the page, creating a height of 600px. However, I need to divide this image into three sections: header, content, and footer. Currently, the header is only 150px in height, causing the excess part of the background to be hidden.

Despite trying to use Overflow in CSS to show the entire background image, it didn't work as expected. How can I ensure that the full content of the background image is displayed without adjusting the height of the header div?

Below is the current CSS code for the header DIV:

#header{
background-image: url(../images/top-bg.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1000px;
height: 200px;
overflow: visible;
}

Answer №1

There are numerous ways to approach this issue, and here is one potential solution:

To achieve the desired effect, assign the full original background-image of the page, including the falling leaf, to the #body.

By adjusting the background-position, you can seamlessly combine the top half of the #header with the bottom half of the #body.

Take a look at it in action: JSFiddle

HTML

<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="body">
</div>

CSS

#header
{
    background-image:url("https://twitter.com/images/resources/twitter-bird-white-on-blue.png");
    width:300px;
    height:150px;
    border-style:none;
    border-left-style:solid;
    border-right-style:solid;
    border-color:yellow;
}
#body
{
    background-image:url("https://twitter.com/images/resources/twitter-bird-white-on-blue.png");
    width:300px;
    height:300px;
    background-position: 0px -150px;
    border-style:none;
    border-left-style:solid;
    border-right-style:solid;
    border-color:red;
}

It's worth noting that without further adjustments, the background-image may repeat and display another leaf.

In my opinion, it would be best to apply the background to the main container of your header. However, in order to provide a more accurate answer, we would need to take a look at the code you are working with.
