Slideshow height not responsive

Hi on this site on the homepage I have a slideshow obtained from cycle2 the slideshow is working fine however as the images are rather large I want the height to be responsive so that it fits within the screen view. I currently have the height set to auto and and the width set to 100%

Here is the html;

     <div class="cycle-slideshow" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-speed="1500" >


       <img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/t1w0mk1uyd72fy1/1.jpg" >


       <img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/sktwyvun1dyflel/2.jpg" >


      <img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/6aaywkif9waz5e6/3.jpg" >


      <img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xvjg9fnv33ep504/4.jpg" >

    </div>

and here is the css;

.cycle-slideshow { width: 100%; }
.cycle-slideshow img { width: 100%; height:auto; }

My aim to to get the images to reduce in height in order to fit the screen. In fact I don't mind if it cuts a tiny bit off. Is this possible?

If I understand correctly, you want to constrain the image container height to the screen size, and cut off anything that extends beyond it:

.cycle-slideshow {
  max-height: 100vh;
  overflow: hidden;
}

Managed to sort it out in the end, I some how managed to misspell my class name in the css! However I had to do a few little tweeks, as the images were 1080x720px I had to change them to 1080 x 443px. Also as I had the header and footer in the viewport I had to add them together and subtract them from the max-height unit like so;

.cycle-slideshow{
  max-height: calc(100vh - 173px);
 overflow-y: hidden;
}

thank you for the help
