How to show full height background image?

Question

I have a photo type (not landscape) background image with 979px width by 1200px height. I would like to set it to float left and show 100% full image height fixed, without the need to scroll up/down (regardless of content length).

This is my CSS code, but it is not working:

img, media {     max-width: 100%; }  body {     background-color: white;     background-image: url('../images/bg-image.jpg');     background-size: auto 100%;     background-repeat: no-repeat;     background-position: left top; } 

Answer 1

You can do it with the code you have, you just need to ensure that html and body are set to 100% height.

html, body {     height:100%; }   body {     background-color: white;     background-image: url('http://www.canvaz.com/portrait/charcoal-1.jpg');     background-size: auto 100%;     background-repeat: no-repeat;     background-position: left top; }
