Background image problems

Site: http://www.bigdutchmanusa.com/index.html

When I look at this site in my iPad the background image reduces in size and is all messed up… any suggestions?

I have it set as a background image, center horizontal and top vertical.

Thanks
Tony

maybe you should try the action: “full background” or “full background proportional”

give it a try, maybe it could help.

…or maybe even have an html box 100% horizontal 100% vertical with css gradient?

Thanks Vincent,

I tried both and here’s what happens:

Full bkgnd image = sizes it to the size of the page, which messes up those pages that are different sizes. So if I have one that is longer, it resizes to that, which is different per page…

Full bkgnd proportional = This is what is happening on my iPhone and iPad, which is what I’m trying to avoid.

Oddly enough, another site I made works fine. www.fennvalley.com

Still searching for a solution.

You may be seeing the effect of the iDevices font scaling algorithms.
The page is growing taller than you think it should, because the text
is being scaled up to a much larger size. You may want to reconsider
how your background works – try making it tile vertically rather than
being a single large image. Then you can get away with a page of any
height at all.

Another thing to watch for here is image size - at 1.23Mb bkgnd2011.jpg is a HUGE file.

another possibility: are any of your items referenced from down instead of up? IOS never really understand this and messes things up, especially when turning the device.

Dave, Thanks… I’ll fix that.

Vincent, Here’s what’s interesting. The following has the same background except for the gradient Orange:

This comes up on the iPad just fine, but not the other… Hmmmm…

Thanks again

Hi Tony,

You can fix the problem by making the image Tile vertically. Like Walter said, it’s doing what its doing because the image is so tall and the content is being scaled.
