Responsive Div Height with Background Image
Expanding on the concept of responsive images, a similar technique can be applied to divs to automatically adjust their height based on the size of their background image. Without explicitly setting a height or minimum height, this can create a fluid and dynamic layout.
Solution
To achieve this, we can harness the power of padding-top. By setting the height of the div to 0 and manipulating the padding-top value as a percentage, we can mimic the behavior of an image element.
Here's a breakdown of the code:
div { background-image: url('...'); background-size: contain; background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 100%; height: 0; padding-top: (image-height / image-width) * container-width; }
- Set the background-image property with the desired image URL.
- Use background-size: contain to ensure the image fits within the div without distorting its aspect ratio.
- Set background-repeat to no-repeat to prevent the image from tiling.
- Set width to 100% for full-width behavior.
- Keep height at 0 to remove any forced height constraints.
- Calculate the padding-top value as the ratio of the image height to the image width multiplied by the width of the container. This ensures the div height adjusts accordingly.
Example
Consider the following div using this technique, where the image is 853 pixels high and 1280 pixels wide:
<div><p>This div will automatically adjust its height based on the size of the image it contains, creating a responsive and dynamic layout element.</p></div>

I got this question the other day. My first thought is: weird question! Specificity is about selectors, and at-rules are not selectors, so... irrelevant?

Yes, you can, and it doesn't really matter in what order. A CSS preprocessor is not required. It works in regular CSS.
