CSS/WebKit: Background Images for Table Row

Question

For some reason, when you apply a background image to a tr in Safari and Chrome, it renders it as if the rule applies to every td.

Firefox:

Safari:

I found this article discussing a fix:

Applying a background image to a table row

I was able to get it working in Internet Explorer with spacer GIF images, but I can't figure it out for Safari.

Answer 1

You can use "background-attachment : fixed" to solve this problem.

<table>
  <tr class="bg">
    <td></td>
    <td></td>
  </tr>
</table>

And in CSS

tr.bg {
    background-image : url(../PathToLeftBackground.png) repeat-y 50px 0px;
    background-attachment: fixed;
}

And it works!
