DIV background-image overflow

Question

I have a DIV element with a background-image, and I want it to overflow outside the dimensions of the DIV (it now cuts off the image because the image is bigger than the DIV).

Is this possible? overflow:visible doesn't work!

Answer 1

You can do it in alternative way:

#box {
    margin:-50px 0 0;
    padding:50px 0 0 0;
    background:url(/images/image.png) no-repeat;
}

Answer 2

Put the background on a larger <div> that contains your <div>.
