Having trouble with CSS background image

Question

I'm trying to use a stock photo to cover my page. For some reason I cannot seem to get this to work. My image just refuses to cover the page.

 #cover { background-image: url("https://i.stack.imgur.com/QE9pP.jpg"); background-size: cover; background-size: center center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-color: #464646; } .cover-content { color: hsla(182, 100%, 28%, 1); font-family: font-family: 'Gravitas One', cursive; font-size: 400%; text-align: center; } 

 <div id="cover"> <div class="cover-content"> <h1>Snowfall Design Studio</h1> </div> </div> 

Answer 1

Your page does not cover the whole viewport. If you want an image to cover the whole screen, put the background-image on the html or body element

 html { height: 100%; } body { min-height: 100%; background-image: url("https://i.stack.imgur.com/QE9pP.jpg"); background-size: cover; background-position: center center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-color: #464646; } .cover-content { color: hsla(182, 100%, 28%, 1); font-family: font-family: 'Gravitas One', cursive; font-size: 400%; text-align: center; } 

 <div id="cover"> <div class="cover-content"> <h1>Snowfall Design Studio</h1> </div> </div> 

Answer 2

Here is an example of the image covering the whole page: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/owJVgq

You needed to move the background images to the body tag and add a viewport of:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

If you are looking for this section to be just a section and have more content below the picture, this is what you're looking for: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/BZvbNe

Again you need to add the viewport, but also add:

body {
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
}
