I want to set a background image to different divs, but my problems are:

2. Varying div\'s size

How

Answer 1

For this you can use CSS3 background-size property. Write like this:

#div2{
    background-image:url(http://s7.static.hootsuite.com/3-0-48/images/themes/classic/streams/message-gradient.png);
    -moz-background-size:100% 100%;
    -webkit-background-size:100% 100%;
    background-size:100% 100%;
    height:180px;
    width:200px;
    border: 1px solid red;
}

by using property css:

background-size: cover;

Answer 3

Try something like this:

div {
    background-image: url(../img/picture1.jpg);
    height: 30em;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 100%;
    background-position: center;
}

Answer 4

To keep the aspect ratio, use background-size: 100% auto;

div {
    background-image: url('image.jpg');
    background-size: 100% auto;
    width: 150px;
    height: 300px;
}
