How to fit 100% of an image to a Jumbotron

Question

I have the following HTML:

<div class="jumbotron">
    <div class="container">
        <h1>Souplesse</h1>
        <p>Be a Good Sport</p>
    </div>
</div>

And the following CSS:

.jumbotron {
  background-image:url('piscine.jpg');
  height:300px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  border-bottom:1px solid #ff6a00
}
.jumbotron .container {
  position:relative;
  top:50px;
}

My image is far too large to fit my height of 300px but I would like it to auto-resize and fit the height, so I can see all of my image. This must be simple but I can't see what changes need to be made.

Thanks

Answer 1

If you would like the background image to fit the height of your jumbotron, but don't care about if it stretches to the entire width:

.jumbotron { background-size: auto 100%; }

If you want the background image to cover the entire height AND width of the jumbotron and you do not care about the image's aspect ratio:

.jumbotron {background-size: 100% 100%; }

If you want the background image to be cover the entire height AND width the jumbotron but you DO care about the image's aspect ratio:

.jumbotron { background-size: cover; }

That last option will have some of the image cut off if the jumbotron has a different aspect ratio than the image, but you can specify how the image is positioned with the background position property:

.jumbotron {
    /* Image in the center of container */
    background-position: center center;

    /*  OR Image in the center top of the container */
    background-position: center top;

    /*  OR Image in the center bottom of the container  */
    background-position: center bottom;
}
