Information
Having recently ploughed through hundreds of pages on the web looking for information on how to style a background image to be 100% the size of the container using CSS3 and found most did not have the correct information, I thought that I would clarify things here and show how this is actually styled.
The above demonstration will work in Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera at the moment, all other browsers will see an actual size background image centered in the containers.
All three of the above boxes use the same styling for the background image and is as follows:
.back {
background-image: url(back.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
-o-background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
-moz-background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
-webkit-background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
}
This method can also be applied to the body element and I have a demo of this here http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/background2.html.
