As I understand you want to have a fullsize background image. This can be done via

body, html {
  height: 100%;
}

.bg {
  /* The image used */
  background-image: url("img.jpg");

  /* Full height */
  height: 100%;

  /* Center and scale the image nicely */
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
}

@qualladoom Doesn't work.

Hey @RyanBeebe, I edited your post so your question is in the subject line. That way users who might have an answer can find it more easily :)
