Background images with HTML & CSS

[@imheretofiremylazeh]

Not only good content and info, but also good presentation and sound quality. Every video is a gem

[@lizflaggswope4747]

Kevin, I'm just learning CSS, and your videos are SO encouraging and refreshing! Thank you for making it all so approachable!

[@SalmonbekAkbarov-jx2ei]

[@BenjaminAster]

Don't forget your , otherwise the browser doesn't load the image before the entire CSS file is loaded and parsed. This can be very slow; especially at 3G connections.

[@hanaasaiid9337]

Thank you for your information ❤

[@JavierD]

It's so satisfying to find teacher with so much passion to teach. It's the best education anyone can get.

[@KevinPowell]

Thanks so much!

[@IamPetrus]

Man, I have been over two hours of crazy frustration trying to figure out what was going on (swearing for granted) with my background - image, and in ten minutes of your video I could find the solution. Its the Kevin thing making it easy to us. Again!...

[@nathanwatts76]

Your timing could not be better! I literately just came to your channel to find this exact topic. Keep up the good work champion.

[@bukkorossu]

The bonus tip of that "background-blend-mode" property was pretty cool!

[@albertoa.r.5995]

I love when you go back to basics. Somehow it helps also to grasp advanced concepts that rely on this. Thanks!

[@johannarodriguez3573]

you blew my mind with background-blend-mode, none of all the courses I've done mentioned it. How cool I found your video, thanks!!!

[@nataliadi9]

Kevin, I am so happy I came across with your channel. You do make people fall in love with css. It really makes me stay curious. Thank you!

[@reginamurguia4078]

Love your content, please keep it up! The way you explain things with such a calm and practicity from the most basic aspect is very conforting and encouraging for everyone, even if you're only looking for a quick fix or tip. ❣

[@MartynKoi]

I have used a container for the text with a dark semi transparent background. This allows the image to show through and also a darker patch for the lighter text to be displayed. It has the advantage of framing the text which I think is a great eye catching feature if done right. Just my little tip :) Great video again, well done.

[@eriklindestad9268]

Thank you! I actually yelled out loud when you did the dot dot in the url because that's what I'd been missing all along.

[@abdulrhman2514]

I hated working with CSS now I love it so much thanks to you Thank you Kevin!

[@wargalevente]

Hi Kevin, First of all, I am not a comment-person at all. I detest commenting. But I just felt that, in this case, I had to make an exception. At first, I didn't even like your videos, but then I watched this one and a few others which convinced me that you're bloody good (if I may say so). I've just finished the first module of my Front-end development course. I've made all the mistakes that a beginner developer can make, and by the way that you mentioned not to do. I was struggling to put my end assignment together. And I was also binge-watching tutorials on KZbin. However, this was one of the first videos that followed through by actually doing it. So much so that in my end-assignment I almost always used background-blend-mode for my hero images to make the text in the image more readable.

[@lucien-rc9do]

Thank you so very much for explaining the path to use in the url(), because I was so frustrated and annoyed, nothing was working and I kept wondering why, but after writing my path the way you did it works absolutely fine, I'm really grateful thank you ❤

[@Fahimurr]

Brilliant video, thank you Kevin for all your hardwork. Your videos are really helpful for someone like me who is getting into web dev.

[@gundi0012]

I watched the entire video for the blend mode tag thank you man i love your content

[@raquel_webdeveloper]

Thanks to teach responsiveness at the same time. I was adding a heigh every time I added a background picture , now I know better.

[@patrickmcnelis1520]

Lol...I just had the path issue with your section styling video. Most important to double check those paths. And the inspect tip works very well. Thanks Kevin!

[@SeviersKain]

damn, that background-blend-mode is really working like a charm, thx Kevin !!!

[@swallowedinthesea11]

I knew most of these except the blending part. It will be very helpful! Thank you!

[@robynrooiland421]

First video that I watched, loved it, subscribed and reccomended to my friends.

[@daskeds]

[@Coco-ii2pu]

Kevin is legit my CSS guardian angel. Thank you kev ❤️

[@DanteMishima]

Thank you Kevin. I was just saying this to someone who is stuck in adding width and height, telling them to use padding

[@christopherkagan3242]

A great instructor with great t-shirts!

[@abdulhadi_53]

what I was looking for is to make it sticky background , So i found out by using background-attachment:fixed; and it worked very nice , and for a tip u can make shade on your background using background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.921), rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.914) ), url(" ./ your url for the bg "); And thank you kevin for the great work you are doing for make the web looking more aesthitic

[@Cocodrillo3011]

Great video Kevin! This is exactly what i was looking for. Thank you!

[@zedricksalupito]

[@gokturkbuyuktuna8557]

Background-blend-mode was pretty helpful!!

[@0xbig_t]

Thank you Kevin, you are always my go to guy for css.

[@fabianpetersen2452]

Thanks Kevin, i was struggling with this recently and you made it super easy to understand 👍. Much love from South Africa

[@flosquared1517]

Merci Beacoup! I have been on this since morning.😎. What a relief! Thank you, once again.

[@arg5]

Finally I'm able to resolve the problem regarding background image Thank you so much sir 🤩 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✨😍🥰

[@ElementoryMyDearWatson]

So helpful as always. I tried the technique of the background-blend-mode and found that if one adds the alpha channel to the multiply blend mode color (I was using black HSLA ) one can obtain even further control of the 'darkness' buy adjusting the alpha value, i.e. hsl( 0 0 0 / .3); Indebted once again to you sir.

[@santinetwork8497]

Really cool videos well documented and explained for very beginner friendly. I found the trick on adding a default background color useful. Thanks for the tips!

[@janman7419]

Very helpful, and nicely explained! I am just getting into CSS, and just by pausing and peeking at your code I learned other additional things I did not know about. Maybe I should start to watch from the beginning of your series :D. Thank you very much

[@JackFate76]

This gives me so many memories.

[@airNfinger]

Sir, you just earned a new subscriber. This video was so helpful!!! Thank you.

[@annanagalina3567]

Thank you a lot! It helped me find the problem with my background image. Very detailed and clear explication.

[@alexandrosdimiropoulos4768]

You are doing great videos, with great explanations that are extremely useful for real life projects. Amazing work. My only question regarding this video is this: for how big monitors you must choose an image for? If one person has ultrawide 4k screen, should we choose a background image that can stretch and fit to those screens also or we should use media queries with different images for bigger monitors or maybe we should stop and show only a background color after certain dimensions?

[@Space_Curious]

Thank you so much for the last chapter of the video! I was searching for that since some hours ahaha

[@bogdandanila6306]

Thank you so much for all your videos.I wish you good health and hope you are happy.

[@jonks5913]

thank you Kevin for this video this was driving me nuts looking for a solution

[@sillyways4610]

good video but i've got one point: my teacher said its not a good idea to place an image via css in the website because for SEO reasons. The search engine won't recognize that there's a picture hence for better SEO it's more advisable to put pictures in or tags since it will be seen as a picture

[@FFAs]

Suggestion that isn't specific to CSS, more general web development for beginners: I noticed KZbin is missing a single video or clear series of videos covering the steps/options for setting up a simple contact form for a website from start to finish on both front-end and back-end. Covering basic options like free, cheap, and premium tools for the backend could be an easy extra video topic that would be helpful to beginners.

[@andreyovedenie]

Thank you! I watch some clips about this but your clip was full with all the information and that really help me! Again Thank you!

[@Control4Daze]

Greatly appreciate your explanation and assistance! Thank you!

[@yankeesfan3961]

[@mercedes7761]

thank you so much for your detailed videos. I appreciate you!!

[@frosty8104]

Nice tip about the blend mode.. I had no idea before that you could do that with css, though I knew about it from using it in Photoshop & Illustrator

[@rebeccapeterson8594]

Thanks!

[@KevinPowell]

Thank you so much!

[@iq-dev]

You are so good man. Thanks for making CSS fun at .

[@thewise3551]

Cheers dude, Helped!

[@weareloved]

Thank you so much!! It was very helpful!!!👍🏼🙏🏻

[@ZaeemKhaliqAwan]

There is a multiple background images stacking order thing, by which you can use multiple backgrounds. It is useful for applying for example linear gradient (to control opacity of the background image).

[@KevinPowell]

Yeah, that can be really useful :)

[@uchennaonyejeme9221]

Thank you very much , now I will understand the functionality

[@d3_ek]

Great video. Exactly what I needed. Thankyou.

[@sormpheng7752]

[@mcroman-superfeat]

Look easy , but still many years of brainstorming how do this, anyway - little closer to understand this now... ;) .css, .js ... etc. ... THX for sharing this knowledge...

[@kubolavicka6043]

Helped me so much thank you, thumbs up

[@gio_adventurelm1578]

OMG thanks you so muchh! I tried so many time to put a background-image 🤣

[@RamJairam1]

Bro Love your teaching so much THANK YOU CHOOOOOOOO Much

[@estudiolo]

This is great, thank you!

[@aram5642]

King Kevin, in an unlikely case you run out of ideas for a video, I would be curious to see how you approach overflow containers with those nice shadowed transparency masks on the edges when there is overflown content scrolled past the edge. I don't think there is a css-only solution to that, but I know css in your hands can surprise me a lot. Thank you!

[@chichangchmarak8678]

Good suggestions, thanks.

[@AjobaAdeayo]

Thank you again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again 😊

[@anonymous_basics]

[@plexor-dev]

Cool, i see that trick background-blend-mode, a few months ago on Twitter.

[@MyLiveOfficial]

спасибо, столько форумов перечитал, и только ты нормально объяснил!

[@mrprogo2633]

this was soooooo useful to me

[@smithimmanuel]

Blend mode was superb..

[@nomadshiba]

i dont like setting background, images or colors on the element itself i usually use ::before so i can add opacity on them optionally when i want to and since im picking my colors using var() its necessary to use ::before for adding opacity to background, because i cant add opacity to it later i like to use .95 opacity for most of the stuff so the colors of stuff blend better with each-other and i gives a nice effect since im using gradient, blur backgrounds on the body
