I'm trying to add a full screen fixed background image to the first page only of a jquery mobile app for Android (I'm also using phonegap).
In a nutshell, I would like the background image to be fullscreen and fixed, while the page content scrolls above it. The background image also needs to scale to the size of different devices.
Here is what I have so far...
<div data-role="page" id="unit-list" data-theme="a">
<div id="background">
<div data-role="header" data-theme="b">
<h1>Header</h1>
</div><!-- /header -->
<div data-role="content" data-theme="a">
<ul data-role="listview" data-theme="none">
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
</ul>
</div><!-- /content -->
</div><!-- /background -->
</div> <!-- /page -->
With this CSS:
#background {
background: url(../images/background.png);
width: 100% !important;
height: auto !important;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
}
This obviously doesn't work so any nudge in the right direction would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
This issue only appears when you try and use a repeating background image and also set it to fixed. apparently the bug in Android Chrome is in processing these two instructions together. So the fix is to use a non repeating background image and it will fix properly
There is a jQuery plugin that makes fullscreen backgrounds for your website.

This option may work better for you than CSS because it using javascript to figure out what size the window is and scales the picture to fit it without stretching and distorting your image.
It also seems to have pretty good documentation on how to use it properly.
This changes the background image from the default gradient to an image of your choosing. The background image is applied to the
.ui-page
elements (the pseudo-pages), covers the whole page, and is fixed so it doesn't scroll with the page.Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/kKv4s/

You may want to create your CSS rule for the
.ui-content
element(s) rather than the.ui-page
element(s) as the gradient-background for the.ui-content
element can overlap the background we're adding to the.ui-page
element:Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/kKv4s/1/
This Should Work.
