Hey, @schmidtarnaud3716297,

You’re seeing the black area because you’ve set the max-width property for divs with the mission-container class. Remove that or comment it out and the div should span the entire page.

Hope that helps!

Hey, @davbyron
Thank you for your reply, but sadly it doesn’t work :confused:

Hmm, interesting. It worked for me on my machine…

Your CSS now looks like this, correct?

.mission-container{
  background-image: url('https://content.codecademy.com/courses/freelance-1/unit-4/img-mission-background.jpg');
  height:700px;
  /* max-width: 1200px; */
  background-position: center;
  display: flex;
}

My bad, it works ! I didn’t understand what you mean… but can you explain how this worls please ?

No worries! :slight_smile:

The max-width property does exactly as the name implies: it sets the maximum width that the container can be.

Your screen is likely larger than 1200px wide (you can check here), so that’s why your .mission-container div looked squished.

Take a look at MDN’s specifications for max-width here. They have some nice interactivity that makes the property easier to understand.

Hope this helps!
