IE background fix for HTML not PHP

[scottie5689]

I am developing a website where my background need to stretch to the fit all windows no matter size or browser. I originally started with CSS3 background-size property. It worked fine but not in IE. I found the IE fix,

<style type="text/css">
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
</style>


<img src="bgimage.jpg" alt="background image" id="bg" />
</body>

mg#bg {
position:fixed;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}


This worked fine when placed in a html page. However, when the image is placed into a PHP page and linked to the CSS it does not work. I get a broken image link box but no image. I have tried it now with png and gif image types. I know HTML and CSS well, not so much PHP.

I use more or less the same position: fixed code with PHP and it does work. It could be the path from the css file which is different in your PHP page.

However, you don't need the html, body {height: 100%;} unless there is something else that you need it for.
