how to fully stretch background image that works in IE??

[warjie]

hi, i have a code here that stretch the background image..and works perfectly in Google and Firefox…but as usual,,,not with Internet Explorer…

background-image: url(../Photos/logo_back%20copy.jpg);
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-repeat: repeat;

and this is the code i got for IE versions:

/* for IE 8 */

-ms-filter:”progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=’../Photos/logo_back%20copy.jpg’,sizingMethod=’scale’)”;

/* for lower IE */

filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=’../Photos/logo_back%20copy.jpg’,sizingMethod=’scale’);

the code for IE works..but how can i use it? i mean how can i strict my CSS to use that code just for IE and not for other browsers? thanks a lot

Follow the instructions Chris gives in CSS Only Technique 1 or 2.

hi, i created a different stylesheet only for IE for the background issue

..but nothing seems to happen??

In modern browsers you can now use the CSS3 property background-size

.selector {
/* will stretch the image so that it covers all of the element */
background-size: cover;
/* will stretch the image so that it fits perfectly inside the element */
background-size: contain;
}

This allows to achieve background stretching while preserving the aspect ratio of the background-image: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/background-size

I’ve personally developed a polyfill that implements those properties in IE8: https://github.com/louisremi/background-size-polyfill
