If you post the relevant html and css it'll be easier to see what you're going for.

16,836 Pointsno im not trying to assign any class....im just trying to assign the bg.png as the background for the #animation-holder using background-size cover
Andrew Dushane
9,264 PointsYour background is showing but it's stretching so that only the blue part at the top is showing. #animation-holder is 100% width. Is your objective to have that image stretch to cover the full width of the browser but squeeze the height to the size of the div?

16,836 Pointsyeah and when i add cover or no-repeat it makes the img disappear
Andrew Dushane
9,264 PointsI think your image is too tall and not wide enough for the space. You could crop out the blue space at the top leaving just the building images at the bottom. It would be good to use a wider image also - it's going to be stretched to 1900px or more on many monitors. When you add background-size: cover it's not disappearing, it's stretching in width and height, but the bottom is cut off so all you see is blue from the top of the image.
