Hi there!

Im looking for a way to have a fullscreen background image that scale to the browser width and height when the browser window changes size. The problem with the solutions I have tried so far is that the image doesnt keep its proportions.

Example of what I mean is at the beautiful site of [http://www.thenorthface.com](http://www.thenorthface.com)

I hope anyone find the time to answer 🙂
