Hello, I am doing the Broadway exercise, and everything is well except for the fact that I can’t get my header floating on top of my background image. How could I solve this? Any help appreciated.

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway:400, 600' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
  <link rel='stylesheet' href='style.css'/>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="header">
      <div class="container">
        <ul class="nav">
          
            <li> About </li>
             <li> Work </li>
             <li> Team </li>
             <li> Contact </li>
          

        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div class="jumbotron">

Hey,

So firstly, you’ve added the <img> within the html so it’s randomly appearing floating in your DOM…

I’d recommend using CSS to assign the image as a background-image rather than adding the<img> within your HTML…

.jumbotron {
  height: 800px;
  background-image: url(http://s3.amazonaws.com/codecademy-content/projects/broadway/bg.jpg);
   -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
}

Here you can see I’ve used CSS’ background-image property and assigned it to the .jumbotron class

Secondly, I’d suggest removing the <img> tag from your HTML and respective img{} CSS :smiley:

Hope this helps

I had same problem with floating image.
When it comes to my case, I haven’t fully understood concept of container and jumbotron.

If you’re not used to put url of img as background into jumbotron on css, I recommend you to read about them(container, jumbotron) and play with them.

I got stuck from latter project, then I came back to first one.
Good luck with your project!
