Fixed Backgrounds Not Liked By Firefox
Hi guys,
Yesterday, I was working on a couple of new skins for my forums at http://flashkid105.proboards40.com/index.cgi. One of the skins uses a fixed background but I found out in the testing phase that the fixed background stuff won't work in Firefox because that browser apparently doesn't like fixed backgrounds at all. Is there a way to get around this limitation so the fixed backgroun skin will work in FF?
I can post code if need be:D
Thanks in advance,
Ben Horne

Well well isn't that our Ben....
I think this is a (known??) issue with FireFox. I had that a while ago in a site too. The fix was to drop the semi colon after the fixed value. To make other styles after the background-attachment work you'll need to insert a bog property, or another property that doesn't do any harm:
#SomeObject
{
background-attachment: fixed
useless: none;
}
You could replace useless: none; with something like margin: 0; or anything else that just restates something you defined earlier.
HtH,
Imar

Thanks Imar,
This is actually how the background attachment code looks
Code:
background="http://www.geocities.com/valerian5200/BigBang.jpg" bgproperties="fixed">

Right, that explains a lot. bgproperties is a Microsoft extension that only works on IE. It's not part of any standard: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...properties.asp
Use CSS instead as in the example I showed you....
Cheers,
Imar

Thanks for the help Imar, the css really works, and might I add that this bug is one of the most absured I've encountered in my life as a developer!

Hi Rich,
(Long time no speak....)
It's been a while since I ran into this. I had this in our corporate site, that's been replaced with a new version some time ago.
I'll see if I can dig up something from our source control system. I'm sure I'll forget this promise, so feel free to remind me when you start your new book....;)
Cheers,
Imar

Time flies!

No worries. If you can't easily recall what it was, don't go out of your way on my account.

Already under way :-) I'm a little over half finished. We're being somewhat secretive about it, I suppose, so mail me if you'd like to hear more details. ;) It's a pretty exciting project...
Take care!
Regards,
Rich
