    Hello

    I’m trying to implement the large background technique, featured here :
    https://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page … und-image/

    to the following page:
    http://sideradesign.com/ryan/

    But in IE7, the background image does not appear correctly. there is a white area then the image starts in the middle of the browser window.

    I don’t have IE7 installed, but I saw this in IETester (very unstable) and Browsershots.

    maybe it’s the Mootools javascript that iis not working?

    thanks for any help

    I think the method you are trying to use is overkill –

    try this

    Code:
    body {

    background:#FFFFFF url(/site_background.jpg) no-repeat fixed center top;

    Then make sure the background image is large enough to cover the max resolution you’d like to support – For example 2560 by 1600.
