html - full-screen fit images in two columns -

i'm beginner , tried make 1 page myself, however, result not good. try explain need: full-screen page 2 images, 1 image cover 50% of horizontal space of browser window, , second image on right side covering rest of page. need both images responsive , keep 100% height. when window resized, left , right sides of both images cropped. similar this: http://www.gt3themes.com/website-templates/soho/striped_landing.html

is difficult make? tried follow guides on web, result images stretched , not cropped. maybe wrong , need create 2 columns , put images inside? appreciate help.

my current code is:

.photo{     size: 100%;     position: relative;     overflow: hidden; }  .photo img{     max-width: 50%;     height: 100%; } 

the site linked more or less did this:

html

<div id="container">     <div id="left" class="halfwidthcontainer">         <div id="left-image" class="image"></div>     </div>     <div id="right" class="halfwidthcontainer">         <div id="right-image" class="image"></div>     </div> </div> 

css

html, body, #container, #left, #right, #left-image, #right-image {     height:100%; }  .halfwidthcontainer {     float: left;     width: 50%; }  .image {     background-size: container;     background-repeat: no-repeat;     background-position: 50% 50%;  }  #left-image {     background-color: red;     background-image: url(''); }  #right-image {     background-color: blue;     background-image: url(''); } 

the general idea 2 containers sit side side, floated (see this answer why use floats position containers side side instead of inline-block).

the idea thereafter explot css background property allow overflow/positioning effects want. can read more here.

you're going want fill in background-image properties of #left-image , #right-image ids add images want.
