Depending on what browsers you support, you may or may not want an image fallback. If not, you might want to include the filter
and -ms-filter
syntax instead to allow for IE 6-8. Even without this or an image it will fallback to the background-color
If you wish to do this using CSS3 gradients, try using the background-attachment
property
For example, if you are applying your gradients to #background
, then add this after the CSS gradient.
background-attachment: fixed;
Note: You must add
background-attachment
after the background properties.
Your entire code might look like this:
#background {
background: #1e5799;
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#1e5799), color-stop(100%,#7db9e8));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #1e5799 0%, #7db9e8 100%);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #1e5799 0%, #7db9e8 100%);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #1e5799 0%, #7db9e8 100%);
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #1e5799 0%, #7db9e8 100%);
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #1e5799 0%, #7db9e8 100%);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#1e5799', endColorstr='#7db9e8',GradientType=0 );
background-attachment: fixed;
}
