Answer 1

You can try to apply display: block; to any element and after give it padding-bottom

Answer 2

Remove padding-bottom and apply the height for the div bgimg. Also keep the background-size:cover for that.
.bgimg {
background-image: url('http://worldtravelhub.com.au/newsletter/201401/images/wth_map.jpg');
width: 100%;
background-size:cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height:460px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Answer 3

<element style = "padding-bottom: 77%;"> </element>
been experience on css trouble like that , and some browser element needs to have their style in HTML, so try something like on the above rather than on css file.
