I used this property in css but its not working in IE8
html{
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../../images/bg.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../../images/bg.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";
}
body {
background-image:url(../../images/bg.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
}
I got many solutions on stackoverflow but none of them worked.
How can I solve this?
Try this
<div id="bg">
<img src="images/bg.jpg" alt="">
</div>
#bg {
position: fixed;
top: -50%;
left: -50%;
width: 200%;
height: 200%;
}
#bg img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
margin: auto;
min-width: 50%;
min-height: 50%;
}
I made a Sass Mixin if this help anyone:
@mixin background-cover($cover-image){
background: url($cover-image) no-repeat center center;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='#{$cover-image}', sizingMethod='scale')";
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='#{$cover-image}', sizingMethod='scale');
}
Call it by using
@include background-cover('/images/foo.png');
I know this is late, but this answer may help someone else:
Download backgroundsize.min.htc and put it inside your project.
Now simply add these lines in your css:
.class_name{
//your other properties
background-size: cover;
-ms-behavior: url(backgroundsize.min.htc);
}
NOTE: use the url
according to your project setup.
Enjoy this simple solution. :)
I think generic tags should go after the browser-specific ones:
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
and also:
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../../images/bg.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../../images/bg.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
Hope this works.
