scale background image

Question

I would like to scale up and down a background image in my page. I've tried multiple things but nothing quite seems to work the way I want. :( The url of my page is http://quaaoutlodge.com/drupal-7.14/ and for each link, there's a different background image. I know the size and quality of the images will need to be optimized but I first want to figure out the techincal part of it. If someone please coudl assist in getting this going?

Thank you very much! Ron

Same background image on every page

If you want a background-image that resizes and fills the entire window space, no matter what the size, then use this CSS,

html { 
    background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; 
    background-size: cover;
    -webkit-background-size: cover;
    -moz-background-size: cover;
    -o-background-size: cover;
}

Different background image on every page

In case you want a different background image for each page,

HTML

<div id="bg">
    <img src="<?=$imgsrc;?>" alt="">
</div>

CSS

#bg {
    position:fixed; 
    top:-50%; 
    left:-50%; 
    width:200%; 
    height:200%;
}

#bg img {
    position:absolute; 
    top:0; 
    left:0; 
    right:0; 
    bottom:0; 
    margin:auto; 
    min-width:50%;
    min-height:50%;
}
