Here's an example of what I've tried so far. Johan Fredrik Varen Johan Fredrik Varen 3, 7 7 gold badges 31 31 silver badges 41 41 bronze badges. Why are you wanting to do this? Why not just upload the image to your webserver? Anyway, how does the server know what box the file location is at?

You need more than just a local path unless your site is local. Make sense? I'm pretty sure it's a security thing and I'm not sure how you would go about making it work Seems like you are asking for trouble. N1tr0: To answer your question, I wanted to create an alternative to Pixel Perfect and similar overlay browser extensions, as several browsers lack these IE, for instance.

A file upload element to pick a local image file and then some JS to grab its value and create an overlay. To save yourself some pain, I would suggest uploading the file to a server.

It's easy to accidentally forget that you're using a local file as a background-image for your HTML document, and accidentally delete or move the file. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Cjo Cjo 9 9 silver badges 19 19 bronze badges.

The OP was asking about how to make his browser load HTML from a remote server which references a file that's on his local filesystem. I think your suggestion would only work if the image was also on the remote server. In cases where you cannot use a file simply like this starting a quick webserver i. This just will try to load backgroundImage. It seems you can provide just the local image name, assuming it is in the same folder Report Error.

The first step is to make sure you create an assets directory folder to hold the images you want to use in your project.

For example we can create an images folder in the project we are working on and add an image called sunset. To add a background-image to a section tag in your. If the image is smaller than the tag of which it's the background, it will repeat in order to fill in the tag.

The background-repeat property takes in 4 values and we are able to change the direction in which the image repeats, or stop the image from repeating itself all together.

This is the default value if we don't give the background-repeat property a value. In this case the image is repeated both horizontally and vertically so in both x-direction and y-direction respectively until it fills the space. The no-repeat value stops the image from repeating itself from all directions. The image is only shown once. This value repeats the image only horizontally on the page.

The image is repeated across the page, in the x-direction. The x-direction in math is from the left to the right.

This value repeats the image only vertically on the page. The image is repeated down the page ,in the y-direction. The y-direction in math is from top to bottom.

After adding a background image and stopping it from repeating, we are able to further control how it looks within the background of the tag by improving its position. The selector takes in two values. The first one is for the horizontal position, or x-direction how far across the tag.

The second one is for the vertical position, or y-direction how far down the tag. Instead of pixels we can use a set of keywords like right, left, top, down, or center to place the image at the right, left, top, down, or center of the tag. Again, like the previous properties mentioned, it takes in two values. One for the horizontal x size and one for the vertical y size.

If we do not know the exact width of the container we are storing the image in, there is a set of specific values we can give the property. The rule background-size:cover; in this case will crop of parts of the image.
