15,661 PointsMake sure the containing element is of position: relative (I think absolute and fixed should also work). Then you can set the image width and/or height to 100%. It really depends on what you want to do though, because your images won't always be the same dimension of your container. Assuming that most of your images and your container has a landscape layout, I would use width: 100%; and height: auto;
