I am very new to Front-end development and Foundation.
I am trying to get <div class="main-header">
to be a full screen image that scales down responsively.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? It is scaling properly, but is not showing the full image. I also wanted the <div class="large-6 large-offset-6 columns">
to sit above it on a mobile device – is that possible?
The HTML:
<!-- MAIN HEADER -->
<div class="main-header">
<div class="row">
<div class="large-6 large-offset-6 columns">
<h1 class="logo">BleepBleeps</h1>
<h3>A family of little friends<br>that make parenting easier</h3>
</div> <!-- END large-6 large-offset-6 columns -->
</div><!-- END ROW -->
</div><!-- END MAIN-HEADER -->
The CSS:
.main-header {
background-image: url(../img/bb-background2.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
background-size: cover;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
h1.logo {
text-indent: -9999px;
height:115px;
margin-top: 10%;
}

//jQuery
$(window).load(function() {
var theWindow = $(window),
$bg = $("#bg"),
aspectRatio = $bg.width() / $bg.height();
function resizeBg() {
if ( (theWindow.width() / theWindow.height()) < aspectRatio ) {
$bg
.removeClass()
.addClass('bgheight');
} else {

}
}
theWindow.resize(resizeBg).trigger("resize");
});
