Hi dylan kane,

I'm not sure which answer you are looking for, so here's some options for you to do:

  1. If you would like to assign a background image to the div itself your css would look like this: div{ background-image: url(some-background-image.jpg); background-size: 100%; }

This will set your image as a background, and make it fit to the box, so you can see the whole image. More info at (http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/09/02/backgrounds-in-css-everything-you-need-to-know/)

  1. If you want's to put other images og text on top, you will have to add it inside the div in your html :)

I hope it helps you to get further.

Regards
