Hi people,

 

Ive never designed a website for moble devices before or one that uses a full blown background image. So please go easy on me..

 

Anyway, I have a full background image that i want to display on my site.

 

Its working fine on all desktop browsers however when I test it on my iphone and ipad the image is slightly broken at the top and at the bottom.

 

here is my (at the moment) very basic css code:

 

body {
	font: normal .80em arial, sans-serif;
	color: #DDD;
	background-attachment: fixed;
	background-color: #FFF;
    background-image: url(../images/back.jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: center;
}

Really gratefull if anyone can tell me what im doing wrong here.

 

Thanks in advance.

u can use css media queries and use different sized bg image like this

 

* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen 
and (min-device-width : 320px) 
and (max-device-width : 480px) {
/* Styles */
body {background-image:url('paper9.gif');
}

/* Smartphones (landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen 
and (min-width : 321px) {
/* Styles */
body {background-image:url('paper8.gif');
}

/* Smartphones (portrait) ----------- */
@media only screen 
and (max-width : 320px) {
/* Styles */
body {background-image:url('paper7.gif');
}

/* iPads (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen 
and (min-device-width : 768px) 
and (max-device-width : 1024px) {
/* Styles */
body {background-image:url('paper6.gif');
}

/* iPads (landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen 
and (min-device-width : 768px) 
and (max-device-width : 1024px) 
and (orientation : landscape) {
/* Styles */
body {background-image:url('paper5.gif');
}

/* iPads (portrait) ----------- */
@media only screen 
and (min-device-width : 768px) 
and (max-device-width : 1024px) 
and (orientation : portrait) {
/* Styles */
body {background-image:url('paper4.gif');
}

/* Desktops and laptops ----------- */
@media only screen 
and (min-width : 1224px) {
/* Styles */
body {background-image:url('paper.gif');
}

/* Large screens ----------- */
@media only screen 
and (min-width : 1824px) {
/* Styles */
body {background-image:url('paper2.gif');
}

/* iPhone 4 ----------- */
@media
only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 1.5),
only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio : 1.5) {
/* Styles */
body {background-image:url('paper3.gif');
}

Thanks Sash, Ive been playing around with it and seem to have it
working now, although I will try out the media queries you posted.

 

Thanks for your help dude.
