Image with fixed height and responsive width

[jw]

Hi Marius,
Thanks for your reply! I tried the object-fit: cover property but it is apparently an „Unknown property“.

Also, the class doesn‘t seem to be applied to the image. Looking at the source code, there is a div around the image which receives the properties of the class „banner“. The image is placed into a stack element but I made sure to select the image for the custom class. Use „s20“ to access the pages.

Dear @jw
the message unknown property can be ignored. It still works.
Don't forget to use !important to overwrite the settings from Lay:

If you have still trouble, the best is to post a link to your website that I can have a look.

Best!

Hi Marius,

Unfortunately I am still struggling with this. Could you please give spandau20.com/subscribe a look?
The image banner should have a height of 150px and cover the full width (-20% left and right).

On the Dates page you can see the image I want to crop to the final size. The table underneath is positioned as if the banner was 150px high, but the banner image isn't cropped at all :(

Dear @jw

The image is trapped in the container:

But you can drag images out of the gridder, into the pink area.

Hey Marius,

not sure if I undestand. I tried dragging the image into the top frame area, that didn't work.

Hi Marius,

I tried dragging the image to the left which worked but didn't yield the effect I was aiming for. (See www.spandau20.com/dates)

Maybe my aims were a bit unclear: The banner on the subscribe page looks great with only one problem: I want the height to remain at the same px value across all screen sizes. The width is correct.

I made a quick sketch in Ps of how I want this to look across two screen sizes:

Dear @jw
ok. I understand. you can use CUSTOM CSS to change the height.

Also look into:

• !important
• object-fit

That's what I tried but it didn't work.

These are the classes that the banner image has:

Dear @jw

try this:

.banner img {
    height: 100%;
    object-fit: cover;
}
.banner div {
    height: 100%;
}

Hope that works!

Best!

Hi Marius,

That didn't work either but I managed to work it out using a HTML object:

<img src="wp-content/uploads/2019/02/banner_03.jpg" alt="Banner" class="banner">

The CSS class:

.banner{
position: relative;
padding-top: 125px;
height: 125px !important;
object-fit: cover !important;
}

Thanks for your help!
