Responsive background image

Is there a way I can make a background image responsive? I've tried a number of ways but haven't found a solution.

Is it possible in css or query?

Medua Okonta,

Check out this Quick Tip I did on full page background images. I also cover it in the CSS Deep Dive on background properties.

You can do it in CSS by using a percentage value for the width and height, like this:

img{
    width: 35%;
    height: 20%;
}

Hope that helps.
