How To Add A Play Icon To Image On CSS

I'm looking for how to add a play icon to Image on CSS. I tried this code, but it doesn't appear right I want it to appear on the center : .video { position: relative; } .vide

Solution 1:

DEMO

you should set background-size

.video a {
  position: absolute;
  display: block;
  background: url(http://www.slatecube.com/images/play-btn.png);
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  top: 75px;
  left: 150px;
  background-size: 50px 50px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Solution 2:

You can achieve this without your image, which should reduce load times: http://jsfiddle.net/t8skLwcb/

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
.video {
  position: relative;
  display: table;
  height: 200px;
  width: 357px;
  background: url(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/Messi_vs_Nigeria_2018.jpg) no-repeat;
  background-size: 100%;
}
.video a {
  display: table-cell;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  text-align: center;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
.video a .circle {
  display: inline-block;
  border: 3px solid white;
  border-radius: 25px;
  padding: 20px;
  height: 10px;
  width: 10px;
}
.video a .circle .triangle {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
  border-top: 10px solid transparent;
  border-bottom: 10px solid transparent;
  border-left: 10px solid white;
  transform: translate(-25%, -50%);
}

<div class="video">
  <a href="#">
    <span class="circle">
      <span class="triangle"></span>
    </span>
  </a>
</div>

Solution 3:

Use background-size:contain; and center the background:

background: url(http://www.slatecube.com/images/play-btn.png) no-repeat center;
background-size:contain;

Solution 4:

For click even use jquery or javascript

Jquery

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/kevalbhatt18/z5y8ht4y/4/

And reduce width of play button to 11% if you not reduce width then in left region you want be click

see this example with 100% width of play http://jsfiddle.net/kevalbhatt18/z5y8ht4y/3

$('img').click(function(){
alert('clicked')

})

Or use z-index if you want 100% width but it may be break your layout because play has position : absolute

Javascript:

HTML

<img onclick="clickfunction()" style="height:200px" src="http://san.capitalafrique.com/imatin.net/articles/images/lionel-messi.jpg" /> <a href="#"></a>

Script

clickfunction = function () {
   alert()
}

Solution 5:

may be this ? (if you know the size of the image/s)

.video { 
    position: relative; 
    background-image: url('http://san.capitalafrique.com/imatin.net/articles/images/lionel-messi.jpg');
    width:400px;
    height:200px;
}
.link{
    width:100%; 
    height:100%; 
    position:absolute; 
    left:0px; 
    top:0px; 
    background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.5);
}
.link:hover{
    background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.7);
}
.playBtn {
   position: absolute;
   background-image:url("http://www.slatecube.com/images/play-btn.png");
   background-size: 150px 150px;
   height: 150px;
   width: 150px;
   top: 50%;
   left: 50%;
   transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    z-index:999;
}

<div class="video" >  
    <a href="#" class="link">
        <div class="playBtn"></div>
    </a>
</div>
