How do I get the background picture to cover the div and not repeat?

I want the background to cover the page and show as one unified picture.

What I have tried:

If I put

background-repeat: no repeat;
background-size: cover;
then the image shows in the top left corner and does not cover the whole page. If I take out the background-repeat attribute, the picture repeats itself but covers the entire page. How do I solve this? Thanks in advance.

background-size:cover should scale the image up to cover the background of the entire element. If it's not working, then there's something else going on:

* Are you using a browser which supports the property?
* Is your element big enough to cover the whole page?
* Is there another rule overriding the background-size property?
