Problem with image

I am having a problem with my image. I'm attempting to set up a background image that is the full width of the page but only 300px in height. The height appears correct but I'm getting a repeat image. Here is my html and css:

<div class="jumbotron"> <div class="container"> <h1>Heading</h1> </div> </div>

.jumbotron { background-image: url(../img/sepia.jpg); height: 300px; background-size:cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; }

Thanks!

Where is your "jumbotron" class coming from? It doesn't look like it's in the HTML you posted.

It's there. Doesn't look like it copied.

<!--JUMBOTRON-->

<div class="jumbotron">
  <div class="container">
    <h1>Learning to Code from 0 to 60...at 60</h1>
  </div>
</div>

Amendment: this seems to be working fine in Firefox but not in Chrome.

What version of Chrome? Seems to be working fine in Firefox and Chrome (Version 45) in my local development environment.

It's 45 but I'm doing this on my PC at work (shhhh) so perhaps there is a firewall of some sort.
