background fixed no repeat not working on mobile

Question

I am building a webpage where I want the background image to scale to fit the whole screen  maintain aspect ratio and be fixed  so if you scroll down  the background image stays in the same place    I have achieved this in desktop browsers with the CSS below  but it doesn t work on an iPhone or iPad  On those devices the background is too big  it continues below the fold  and if you scroll down far enough  the image will start repeating   Anyone have a fix  THanks   HTML     background  url photos 2452 jpg  no-repeat center center fixed    -webkit-background-size  cover    -moz-background-size  cover    -o-background-size  cover    background-size  cover

See my answer to this question  Detect support for background-attachment  fixed    Detecting touch capability alone doesn t work for laptops with touch screens  and the code for detecting touch giving by Christina will fail on some devices   Hector s answer will work  but the animation will be very choppy  so it ll look better to replace fixed with scrolling on devices that don t support fixed  Unfortunately  Taylon is incorrect that iOS 5  supports background-attachment fixed   It does not   I can t find any list of devices that don t support fixed backgrounds   It s likely that most mobile phone and tablets do not

Fixed positioning is supported on mobile since Android 2 2 and iOS 5   You need to use device-with viewport on meta and give the background image with somewhere with an id  Then you will get that id with jquery and give that a height  And of course 100  width   lt html gt   lt head gt       lt title gt  lt  title gt       lt meta name  viewport  content  width device-width  initial-scale 1 0  gt       lt style gt           main             background  url 1 jpg  no-repeat center center fixed            -webkit-background-size  cover            -moz-background-size  cover            -o-background-size  cover            background-size  cover            width  100             overflow  hidden                 lt  style gt   lt  head gt   lt body id  main  gt    lt script src  https   code jquery com jquery-2 1 1 min js  gt  lt  script gt   lt script gt      var hgt     window  height            main   css  height   hgt   lt  script gt        http   jsfiddle net talendil oackpmv5

I have been busy using different posts and methods for two days trying to figure it out  I urge anyone to START by looking at the post by Eggs  and mess around with the codepen he and others have built   This has been the only solution to work properly for me that I have found  I recommend his answer as a solution  a good starting point at minimum for those of us still figuring out this problem in our own web applications   I haven t gotten enough reputation yet to comment on his post  otherwise I would  I can t even vote on it yet or I would do that too   This is the actual code I used   html  before       content           display  block      background-image  url  path-to-your-image        background-position  bottom left         For my instance this is how I have built my bg image  Indexes off the  bottom left for consistency       background-size  cover      top  0      bottom  0      left  0      right  0      position  fixed      z-index  -10         I haven t tested my full app functionality after changing the z-index  but everything appears to work flawlessly right now        I tried everything with his original code  When I had   background-position  center     chrome  on latest android update as of 1 8 18  would lag with updating the image s position  so when scrolling through the website there would be a patch of color where my navbar URL bar of the browser was  Then it would disappear after the browser recalculated the image center is what I assume was happening    So  I recommend making an image around your footer or header like I did  and setting either top left right or bottom left right for your position   In summary  THIS WORKS for me  So try it out if you re reading down this far and nothing has worked yet  Though you should ve already hit the original post by now    Thank you Eggs  and the other fellows you collaborated with on your Codepen

I had a very simple solution for this  after struggling with all the methods of fixing this   i had the problem on my mobile IOS devices      css  desktop     ci-hero-11  widget-wrap    ci-hero-12  widget-wrap   background-size  auto  background-attachment  fixed      widget-wrap   background-attachment  scroll      Then i overwrite it with media query removing  fixed  as background attachment      css  mobile     media  max-width  767px     ci-hero-11  widget-wrap    ci-hero-12  widget-wrap        background-attachment  initial         initial -   Sets this property to its default value  I think because IOS doesn t accept  fixed  it falls back to a default value it accepts  scroll   This worked for me on every device  Hope it helps someone else as well

I think that mobile devices dont work with fixed positions  You should try with some js plugin like skrollr js  for example   With this kind of plugin you can select the position of your div  or whatever  in function of scrollbar position
