}

works for me :)

Answer 6

.. I found the above solutions didn't work for me (on current versions of firefox and safari at least).

In my case I'm actually trying to do it with an img tag, not background-image, though it should also work for background-image if you use z-height:

<img  src='$url' style='position:absolute; top,left:0px; width,max-height:100%; border:0;' >

This scales the image to be 'fullscreen' (probably breaking the aspect ratio) which was what I wanted to do but had a hard-time finding.

It may also work for background-image though I gave up on trying that kind of solution after cover/contain didn't work for me.

I found contain behaviour didn't seem to match the documentation I could find anywhere - I understood the documentation to say contain should make the largest dimension get contained within the screen (maintained aspect). I found contain always made my image tiny (original image was large).

Contain was with some hacks closer to what I wanted than cover, which seems to be that the aspect is maintained but image is scaled to make the smallest-dimension match the screen - i.e. always make the image as big as it can until one of the dimensions would go offscreen...

I tried a bunch of different things, starting over included, but found height was essentially always ignored and would overflow. (I've been trying to scale a non-widescreen image to be fullscreen on both, broken-aspect is ok for me). Basically, the above is what worked for me, hope it helps someone.
