bootstrap image slider different image size

I have some experience with bootstrap and I want to create image slider by using:

http://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_carousel.asp

https://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/business-casual/

Everything is fine with the examples. The problem arise if I want to use different sized images:

  • width is OK
  • height is changing depending to the image.

I found many similar topics but none of them worked for me.

Is it possible to have fixed ratio - nevertheless of the photo size? Image streching or even "croping" the image only by using css?

Solution

  • For some websites I had to make a trick for this kind of issue.

    I just remove the img tags, and set it to the item background.

    HTML:

     <div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox">
      <div class="item active" style="background-image: url(//placehold.it/1024x700)  ">
      </div>

      <div class="item" style="background-image: url(//placehold.it/100x100)  ">
      </div>

      <div class="item" style="background-image: url(//placehold.it/1024x700)  ">
      </div>

      <div class="item" style="background-image: url(//placehold.it/200x200)  ">
      </div>
    </div>

    CSS:

    .carousel-inner .item{ 
   height:500px; 
   background-size:cover;
   background-position: center center;
}
