I recently asked about fixed backgrounds in the CSS forum, and was directed here. When I set my background as fixed in CSS, the scrolling is choppy... this is what was suggested to me. Any ideas?
I've never had a good experience with fixed background images to be honest - the browser has to do a lot more work in rendering the page when scrolling, thus the "jumpy" appearance.
Personally, I'd ditch it if it's causing grief, or perhaps use a JS solution instead (to auto-position an absolutely positioned DIV at 0,0 regardless of the scroll position)... but I'd ask in forum216: Javascript about this one.
Hope this helps,
Dan
