Tag: static background

Static background in Internet Explorer 6

by ross on Jan.13, 2010, under Browsers, FeaturedContent, IE6

I just thought I’d quickly share a little tidbit of information I recently uncovered.

Normally when you want a static (ie. non scrolling) background image you would use background-attachment: fixed somewhere in your code, either in the tag on more common these days in your style.css file.

However in yet another quirk of the massively out dated IE6 (surely Microsoft should realise it’s day has passed and pull the plug? Even their own Windows 7 shop doesn’t work properly in IE6!) this ONLY works if placed in the <body> tag and will not no matter what you try ever work if in your seperate CSS file.

Feel free to check it out on www.rentaballoonrace.com which is written in ASP.NET.
