Hey all, I've got a problem with background positioning with CSS. I've got a background image on my site, and then the background of the tables is the same image, only with a gaussian blur on it. In firefox, the over/under effect works perfectly - the two backgrounds line up and the tables look like they're made of frosted glass. In IE, the background aligns inside the table, not with the page. Any stupidly simple tags I'm missing? Thanks!
This is something I'd be interested in seeing. We'd need to at least see the HTML (the whole page) and the relevant CSS... and, what are these tables? Are they just sitting in the middle of the page holding content? Are they nested? What are you using (CSS-wise) to position them?
I was trying to avoid this, but sadly I must admit that it is... my MySpace. If you are using firefox, you can see the effect at http://www.myspace.com/DavidKaine Also, if you have IE, or the IETab plugin for firefox, you can see my problem.
I don't have IE right now, but that code is so damn hard to see anything with... ...and I dunno what you can do with a Myspace but can you add a Doctype? It's likely the broken box model of the IE's in Quirks mode. Also, is that background (the one with the Gaussian blur) set to something with position: fixed? I can't tell where that is in that mess, but IE6 doesn't honour it except when it's placed on the body. It lets stuff scroll. Nice automotive diagram. Looks cool. Were it mine, I prolly wouldn't have blurred it so much, but left a little more detail so that you can really tell that the one is the other. Did you try a blur of like 3?
MySpace? Anonymous is legion? Sage man... crap, no e-mail field here I do know one thing - proof that myspace's code sucks - trying to use the web dev tools crashes firefox on that page (I know - what doesn't crash firefux) As to your problem - the page works fine in IE7, but not in 6 - why? Stomme was REALLY close... You are trying to use background-attachment:scroll. There is no such property in IE6/earlier. Meaning you are shit out of luck... you MIGHT MAYBE be able to wrangle in a javascript to fix that - oh wait, it's myspace, so you're shit our of luck. NOT that you should be bloating out the page with that 330k in background images, dragging peoples browsers to a crawl with 'stupid rendering tricks' or a half dozen other things that are... Typical of the rubbish found on mySpace. Could have been worse, the site could have been filled up with /b/ grade materiel. (and you are one of the few people here who would GET that joke I'm betting - down with scientology and such)
