Bootstrap Full Height Background Cover Image

Question

I am currently designing a site using Bootstrap and am trying to include a full height background cover image like on this site: http://lewisking.net/.

This is my code:

HTML

<header class="title">

<div class="cut">
<img src="" height="">
</div>


<h2>Vintage Boutique Based in New York</h2>

<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="#portfolio">SHOP</a></li>
<li><a href="#about">ABOUT</a></li>
<li><a href="#contact">PRESS</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>


</header>

CSS

header { 

  background: url(../img/nycfull.png) no-repeat center center fixed; 
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
}

.cut img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
max-height: 100%;
}

However, I can't see to get the image to cover the entire "above the fold" section. The image just go as height as the text in the header. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Do you mean like this demo ?

If yes try this code :

CSS CODE

.cover{
    color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    position: relative;
    min-height: 350px;
    background: url("http://lewisking.net/images/header-image.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0px 100% / cover transparent;
}

nav ul li {
  list-style:none;
  float:left;
  margin-right:50px;

}

HTML CODE :

<div class="cover">
  <div class="clearfix"></div>
   <nav>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="#portfolio">SHOP</a></li>
    <li><a href="#about">ABOUT</a></li>
    <li><a href="#contact">PRESS</a></li>
    </ul>

  </nav>

</div>
