What could cause a small thin line of the background image to come through when using images set to absolute and relative in a div box in Webflow?

There are several possible reasons why a small thin line of the background image may appear when using images set to absolute and relative in a div box in Webflow. Here are a few potential causes and solutions:

  1. Border-collapse issue:
  • Use the CSS border-collapse property to collapse the borders.
  • Add border-collapse: collapse; to the parent element of the div box.
  1. Subpixel rendering issue:
  • Adjust the size and position of the div box to ensure it aligns with whole pixel values.
  • Use Math.round() or Math.floor() to round the position and size values.
  1. Anti-aliasing issue:
  • Apply a negative margin or padding to the div box.
  • Use a higher resolution image or increase the image size to reduce the aliasing effect.
  1. Background repeat issue:
  • If the background image has repeat set to repeat-x or repeat-y, it may create a line if the div box is not tall or wide enough.
  • Check the dimensions of the div box and adjust accordingly or change the background-repeat value.
  1. Browser rendering issue:
  • Test the website on different browsers to see if the issue persists across all of them.
  • Clear the browser cache to eliminate any potential caching issues.

These are just a few possible reasons for the thin line issue. It's important to analyze the specific layout and CSS properties used in the Webflow project to pinpoint and resolve the problem accurately.
