Example :slight_smile:
HTML
<img src="http://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8450/8026519634_f33f3724ea_b.jpg" id="full">

CSS
#full {
width: 100%;
}

That’s 3 votes for width:100% so far.

#8

the image is used as a background i am not using it as a background.
i want it to be a div element.

#9

no , there is no visible change!

Yep as @JohnnyBizzel said max-width is not to get something take the entire screen, use width instead.
If you want to know why width and no max-width check this link with an example :slight_smile:

I think he is trying to get the image to cover the parent div? I’m not sure what you are asking.

#15

Fixed. Try to read the replies to your question.

#16

Wait bro, try this in your CSS:
img
{
width: 100%;
}

and see if it shows what you need.

#17

Yeah you where trying to modify your “body”, instead of the “img” itself, and remember max-width is not for setting the size of the img.

This article describes a bunch of ways to make a full page background image.

First one is probably the best way to go:

html { 
  background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; 
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
}

You don’t need any HTML, just this CSS:

body {
  background-image: url('http://cdn3.collective-evolution.com/assets/uploads/2015/02/jobs1.jpeg');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-attachment: fixed;
	background-size: cover;
	background-position: center;
  }

I now see that @nr-mihaylov basically said the same thing
