I have an issue with background-position in mobile safari. It works fine on other desktop browsers, but not on iPhone or iPad.
body {
background-color: #000000;
background-image: url('images/background_top.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center top;
overflow: auto;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
font-family: "Arial";
}
#header {
width: 1030px;
height: 215px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 85px;
background-image: url('images/header.png');
}
#main-content {
width: 1000px;
height: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
padding-top: 15px;
padding-bottom: 15px;
background-image: url('images/content_bg.png');
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
#footer {
width: 100%;
height: 343px;
background-image: url('images/background_bottom.png');
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Both "background_top.png" and "background_bottom.png" are shifted too far to the left. I've googled around, and as far as I can tell, background-position IS supported in mobile safari. I've also tried every combination of keywords ("top", "center", etc.), px, and %. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Update: here's the markup in the .html file, which displays the design & layout fine in other browsers: (I also updated the above css)
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="main-content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
</html>
Both background images are very wide (~2000px) so as to take up space on any sized browser.
P.S. I know that there's probably a few more efficient CSS shortcuts I could be using, but for now I like having the code organized like I have it for visibility.

In the Customize Start Page menu, scroll down to the bottom and tap the Edit button. At the bottom, you'll see the Background Image section—tap the slider to enable it. To add a background, select one of the preset Apple backgrounds, or tap the plus (+) icon to add your own.
Open Safari on iPhone running iOS 15 or later and tap Edit from the start page. Turn on Background Image. Apple includes preset background images. Tap to use one.
Open Safari on your Mac & click on the three-toggle icon from the bottom-right of the home screen. An icon menu will pop up, scroll through the default background options, or Click on “+” to add a custom one. Once you have made the choice, click on Choose to confirm.
The iPhone/Webkit browser cannot center align background images when placed in the body tag. The only way around this is to remove the background image from your body tag and use an additional DIV as a wrapper.
#wrapper {
background-color: #000000;
background-image: url('images/background_top.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center top;
overflow: auto;
}
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="main-content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
