Fit background image to div

You can achieve this with the background-size property, which is now supported by most browsers.

To scale the background image to fit inside the div:

background-size: contain;

To scale the background image to cover the whole div:

background-size: cover;

JSFiddle example

There also exists a filter for IE 5.5+ support, as well as vendor prefixes for some older browsers.
