I have images of equal aspect ratios (300px x 255px) in divs taking up ~31% of the width to make 3 columns on desktop/tablet, then full width on mobile. The images scale to 100% within the div, with the height set as auto. I need to change them from img tags to background images

**HTML:**
<div class="hotels">
<img src="http://www.telodesign.com/test/cavallo-300.jpg" alt=""><br>
Here's a title
</div>
<div class="hotels">
<img src="http://www.telodesign.com/test/cavallo-300.jpg" alt=""><br>
Here's a title
</div>
<div class="hotels">
<img src="http://www.telodesign.com/test/cavallo-300.jpg" alt=""><br>
Here's a title
</div>
**CSS:**
.hotels {
display: inline-block;
width: 31.8%;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 22px;
}
*emphasized text*.hotels img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
Is there a way to make these images background images, and still have the aspect ratio dictate the height of the div--allowing the same responsive scaling? I'm hoping there's a way to do this without using .js, if possible. Can it be done with just CSS? Thanks!
You could use % to set a padding taking width for reference to keep ratio.
example :
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/vNXgJp or http://codepen.io/anon/pen/VvKPMM (demos below)
.hotels {
display: inline-block;
width: 31.8%;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 22px;
background: url(http://www.telodesign.com/test/cavallo-300.jpg) no-repeat red;
background-size: 100% auto;
}
.hotels:before {
content: '';
padding-top: 85%;
float: left;
}
<div class="hotels">
Here's a title</div>
<div class="hotels">
Here's a title</div>
<div class="hotels">
Here's a title</div>
or
.hotels {
display: inline-block;
width: 31.8%;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 22px;
background: url(http://www.telodesign.com/test/cavallo-300.jpg) no-repeat red;
background-size: 100% auto;
}
.hotels:before {
content: '';
padding-top: 85%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: bottom;
margin-left: -0.25em;
}
p {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
margin: 0;
padding: 1em;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
<div class="hotels">
<p>Here's a title</p>
</div>
<div class="hotels">
Here's a title</div>
<div class="hotels">
Here's a title</div>
You could try using view widths to keep the proportions on resize:
HTML
<div class="hotels">
Here's a title</div>
<div class="hotels">
Here's a title</div>
<div class="hotels">
Here's a title</div>
CSS
.hotels {
display: inline-block;
width: 31.8vw;
height: 26.3vw;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 22px;
background-image:url(http://www.telodesign.com/test/cavallo-300.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
