Master Pages

I feel like there is something I am overlooking here but I cannot find it.  I have created a master page and I have added it to my home page as a background and I also tried foreground and it does not show anything when I run the project.  I tried running the project in Chrome and Edge.  I searched the forum and it seems like picking the page as either background or foreground, depending on if you want the page front or back, is all that is needed.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

@david-pegram it's exactly as you do. Are you sure there is nothing hidding the backgroud in your home page?
Please take a look at the attached sample app.

I figured out what is causing the issue.  The issue is I have made the project responsive.  I have all my CSS properties set correctly, I think, and everything shows just fine when the responsive option isnt enabled.  I am trying to figure out why this is happening.  I dont want to be "that guy" who asks for help with every small thing when there are help options available so I am trying to figure this out myself, for now.

I do have one question I cant seem to figure out.  When you are using a master page, and you add controls on the regular page, why doesn't the position work correctly?  For example, if I have a master page for the header, and I add a container to the main page and set it to col-sm-12, the container positions over the master page header control.  Is there a demo project or was this answered somewhere I can use as a reference?  I would assume the regular page would account for the items on the master page?

Thank you!

Hi @david-pegram, in responsive projects background master pages work as headers (they are shown on the beginning of the page) and foreground master pages as footers (they are shown at the end). Be sure to design your master pages with reponsive design in mind. If you need a sample let me know and I will try to make a simple one for you.
