Tips on setting a background image to a div element

I'm facing an issue with a div setup like this:

https://i.sstatic.net/4nuyO.png

My goal is to remove a specific section of the circle shape displayed below:

https://i.sstatic.net/09IWX.png

The desired outcome is to achieve a final shape similar to this:

https://i.sstatic.net/qMkev.png

To achieve this, I've decided to set the image as the background of my div.

<div class="col-4 customBack">  
    <div class="mainInfo">
        <div class="circle2">
            <img src="https://sitename.com/images/image.png">   
        </div>
        <div class="paraDivRight2">
            <h6 style="margin-top:5px;"><strong>Lorem Ipsum Dolor Simit</strong></h6>
            <hr style="margin-top:-5px;">
            <p style="margin-top:-10px;">012-3456789</p>
            <p style="padding-top:5px;"><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="137a757d7c53607a67767d72637c7e">[email protected]</a></p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Below are the corresponding styles:

.mainInfo{
    background-color: #fff;
    border: .01rem round #e0e1ed;
    border-radius: 20px;
    color: #585CA1;
    width:100%;
    height:5em;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 17px -5px rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
    margin-top: 3em;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
}

.customBack{
    background-image: url("/img/shadow3.png") !important;
}

.circle2 {
    position: relative;
    left:-60%;
    width: 9em;
    height: 9em;
    background: #fff;
    border-radius: 50%;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 17px -5px rgba(0,0,0,0.65);
}

.circle2 img {
    position: absolute;
    max-width: 85%;
    border-radius: 50%;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    z-index: 100;
}

.paraDivRight2 {
    position: absolute;
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 10px;
    color:black;
    top:0px !important;
    padding-top:50px !important;
    right: 20px;
    text-align: right;
    padding-right:50px !important;
}

.paraDivRight2 p {
    line-height: 1em;
    font-size: 10pt;
    margin: 0;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
}

Although I've added the background in the .customBack class, the resulting display shows an unintended overlap:

How can I effectively position the background image (shadow3.png) as the background of the mainInfo div without the unwanted section of the circle shape appearing?

I'm struggling with this, any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Answer №1

  • Implement the CSS filter: drop-shadow() MDN Docs on a container element.
  • Revamp your class naming to adhere to a more user-friendly convention
  • Utilize CSS flexbox for a more streamlined alignment of your components
  • Avoid using inline HTML style attributes

While I can't guarantee this method will work for everyone, it has been successful for me in the past. Consider adjusting the position attribute of the div to relative and setting it to absolute for the image, then ensure it is properly sized.
