Hi all,

Does anyone know how to create a background image for a page that automatically resizes itself based on the size of the monitor screen? I tried to follow the method here:

> **[How To: Resizeable Background Image | CSS-Tricks](https://css-tricks.com/how-to-resizeable-background-image/)**
>
> If you are looking for how to do FULL SCREEN BACKGROUND IMAGE, go here. My friend Richard recently came to me with a simple CSS question: Is there a way

I wasn’t able to produce the same results (maybe, I am thickheaded or something :hugegrin:)

If anyone knows of alternate methods and can share them with me, I’d much appreciate it!

Cheers,

Sareeka
