I need to build a small image collage. Like this:
I came pretty close with a flexbox and overflow:hidden; but it has too many draw backs. Like some posts get cut off.
I also came close with masonry.js but that wasn't ideal either. There was some weird gaps and image order gets scrambled.
I'm doing it in a Wordpress template so HTMl,PHP,CSS,JS is all good. GUI is good too, whatever.
Ideally the first image would be the newest post, Second is second newest and so on up to six.
The size labels I put on the image are kinda flexible, as long as it scales for different size screens.
If plugins are needed to resize images, create different sizes, etc. I'll try it.
The images are a custom WP field (main_image) from a post content type.

On the main page it's showing blurry image in futured posts.
website link:- iguidu.blogspot.com
I tried different methods but it is not working. can anyone?
related script:-
Original image is only 72px and you're rendering into a large box, You're basically using thumbnails in the place of featured image, this is the reason it's blurry. try using larger images, ideally to the expected rending size, in your case 490 x 305px
In your case, this seens to occur because of the images size. If you open each image in a new tab you will see that teir original size are 72x72 although the display size (the size that us, clients, are seeing) is 490x305.
How to correct this ? The ideal is to get a bigger image, and also an optimized one. The most optimezed format for web is .webp. Check on THIS link what is this.
Another important thing when comes to resize image is to keep the aspect ratio, but I don't think you are experiencing any issue with that, although I will let a LINK talking about it.
Edit:
tl;dr What I have is a .png file of a horizontal bar and a .png file of a square button. I want to be able to add both images to a webpage and be able to slide the button along the rectangle. I know that it is possible to make range sliders in better ways but using the .png files is a hard requirement.
I have been tasked with taking an image of a range slider, adding it to a webpage, and make the slider interactive/draggable. I know that jQuery has its own sliders (https://jqueryui.com/slider/#multiple-vertical) but this does not seem to apply if you want to use an image of the range slider instead.
Example Image:
(source: dcrazed.com)
How can this be implemented? All the tutorials I see make the slider out of HTML/CSS/JS elements while I have separate images of the slider and draggable button.
FYI, the reason we're using an image is that it looks better than the standard sliders jQuery provides.
It may help if you search for "Form Range Input" or "RangeSlider JS" instead of slider to find a tutorial.
However I don't see any reason why this can't be accomplished more easily and more cleanly strictly through JS and CSS.
If you're having trouble visualising, try breaking your design into parts like so and save yourself the hassle of trying to make an image based design responsive. (Like we all have struggled with previously)
The slider knob itself is a rounded square with three squares inside it.
The slider bar is a rounded rectangle with another three squares placed inside it.
The information box is a div with text and a CSS triangle affixed to it.
The ticks themselves are trickier and will need to be added and removed dynamically with JS depending on their resolution, but their visual details only really need basic styling
If you still feel the need to use images and break the responsiveness of your website then have a look through some Codepens and see what others have done with similar requirements.
On my website there is a webpage where there are 100 images and it is inelegant to see the images that are loaded one at a time from the browser.
Is there some way to get it more elegant and nice to see ?
You could Lazy Load the images, which means they are only loaded when displayed on the browser. This works by simply using the following:
$("img.lazy").lazyload();
However, if the images which will be visible on page load are very large file size, theres not much you can do to prevent this.
An idea I have used before to make this more user-friendly is to place each img element in div which has a background image of an ajax loader. This at least gives the appearance that something is loading. Then once the image is loaded, this will overlay the loading image.
EDIT: Seeing your latest comments, if you are using very small images, as #afaf12 has pointed out, using CSS Sprites would be a suitable solution. A lot of large sites, including StackOverflow, make use of these. It means rather than 100 HTTP Requests being made for all the images, 1 HTTP Request is made (ie. 1 image download), and then CSS is used to position this image in different places.
There are various different CSS Sprite generators also available to prevent you from the laborious task of making this yourself:
Since images are very small, this could be a situation where css sprites are useful.
Instead of having 100+ small images, you have 1 large.
When you want to show a specific image, you have to specify background coordinates, for example:
div#div1 {background-position:0px -100px}
One way to make it look more pleasing is to make the images fade in when they have been loaded:
$('img').css('opacity', '0.0').load(function(){
$(this).animate({'opacity': '1.0'});
});
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Guffa/gzFFN/
http://code.google.com/p/jquery-appear/
jQuery appear event that is triggered when objects "appear" i.e. become visible on screen.
Create containers for all the images, and only load the actual images when they become visible on screen.
Another interesting solution can be found on this stack link. It is for all content but the code provided in an answer can be applied to image loading as well. Link
I am doing on a webpage for display a large amount of pictures/thumbnails. What I am looking for is to auto-resize the pictures, make each line has fixed height, and the right margin of each line is also equal. Even the images are reformatted when I change the size of window, the above mentioned style is kept.
That is quite similar with what google did when displaying their images search results:
Google image example (resize your browser window and you may find what I'm trying to say :-) )
Anyone has idea on this would be much appreciated! Thanks
According to me there 2-ways, 1)by css 2)by js
1)CSS: you can add this in your css, this will resize your thumbnail accordingly.
img{max-width:100%;}
2)JS: Using js you can resize the thumbnails based on the available space and also decide on how many images do you want to show in one row.
I would like to do the following trick in a browser:
Create three image files of different size (small, medium, large) from one picture.
First, display the small image in a
browser.
When a user zooms in the small image
replace it with the medium one.
Now the user can scroll it within the
window up and down, left and right.
When a user zooms out the small image
replace it with the small one, etc.
I would prefer JavaScript (Flash is the second option). What tool would you recommend ?
A quick google search turns up:

and:

Several of these libraries appear to do what you want.
Would this work for you?

This might be for image data that is much larger than you are interested in.
