Even though we have sources that are wider than 200px, we’ve capped the width at 200px. This is basically like saying max-width: 200px. No more blowout (with or without sizes) but now we have a new weird problem. Let’s put back the responsible thing and add in width and height attributes. See the little one below it where all I change is the sizes.Īnyway that’s not what Zach honed in on, but it’s similar. It really does effect layout (in all browsers I tested). I normally think of the sizes attribute as not information about anything to do with actual layout, but just information for the browser to choose a source. I think that’s because that’s the default sizes value. That won’t render at 200px or 400px-it’ll actually render at 100vw, believe it or not. If we just use srcset and set up multiple sources. Even if we slap max-width: 100% in the CSS, that’ll do what we want: preserving space, behave fluidly, and not growing bigger than it should.īut let’s hold off on the max-width: 100% thing for a second. We should be putting width and height attributes on images, because it allows the browser to make space for them even before they are downloaded ( even when they are fluid, which is super cool).
Say the original image is 400px wide, it renders 400px wide. With no other CSS involved, this renders at the “intrinsic size” of the image. I poked my way through, and in addition to the weird thing Zach noted, wanted to add one more thing. Most of it, I’d say, is what you’d expect, but things get weird when srcset gets involved. This way you don't need to import the image in Bootstrap Studio, and your server is in control of what image to return to the client.Zach takes a look at some fundamental HTML+CSS usage for fluid, responsive images. Just paste your URL in the Source URL field. Instead of importing an image file, you can point the Image component to a URL. Now you can control which URL the image leads to when clicked, by selecting the Link component and changing its URL setting in the Options panel. You will need to do this from the Overview panel, because when the link empty it has no height and you won't be able to drop the image inside it from the Stage. Delete the text of the link, so that it's empty.Find the Link component in the Component panel and drop it into the page.To turn an image into a link, so that clicking it leads the user to another page/site, you need to drop the image inside a Link component. This way, your layouts look great on all screen sizes. Responsive - This option ensures that the image scales with its parent and never exceeds its width.Style - Lets you quickly define the basic shape of the image.Lazy Loading - This option controls the loading attribute (opens new window), which can make the browser load images only when they are visible.It's displayed when images can't be loaded and are read by screen readers.
Alt - This is a description of what your image contains.It's preferable to use CSS instead of these two options. Width & Height - Sets the respective attributes on the image, defining it's size.You may use it to point to remote images. Source URL - Contains the URL of the image the component is displaying.Here is a quick description of the settings: When an Image component is selected, the Options panel will reveal a number of useful controls for customizing your image. Pick one of the images by double clicking it (or by single clicking and choosing Save). Double clicking the image will open the Image browser, where you can browse all imported images in your design. It will appear blank, because it won't be pointing to any image file. To set a Responsive Full Background Image using CSS we will use the CSS background-size property that has a value auto that tells the browsers to automatically scale the image’s width and height based on the container, to make element centered. # Basicsĭrag and drop an Image component from the Component panel to the stage. It can point either to images that you've imported in your design, or to externally hosted ones. The Image component represents an image, illustration or photo in your design.
