Fixed background image in IE with javascript
Budget $30-100 USD
To fix a background image in the browser everybody uses background-attachment: fixed. However in IE this CSS property only works for the body tag while it works also for divs in Firefox and other browsers. So there must be a Javascript solution for IE.
Please look at [url removed, login to view] in IE. The body tag holds the yellow lines so the grass was placed into a div as a fixed background image. For this page I used a script that I found at [url removed, login to view] but as you see the background image jumps when you scroll up and down. Using IE expressions in the stylesheet results in the same behaviour.
I found another solution: Dean Edwards' IE7 javascript library ([url removed, login to view]). Using this script the background image doesn't jump but it sometimes completely disappears when the browser is resized. On the other hand the layout is messed up a little as soon as I link the library to the head section. Of course I could fix the CSS file but I don't want to fix a stylesheet that has worked before I added some Javascript classes.
So what I need to be done by a Javascript expert: Take either the first one of these open source scripts ([url removed, login to view]) and fix it or write a new function. The script must work on IE 5.0, IE 5.5, IE 6.0 (Windows) and IE 5.2 (Mac).
One word before I close this project:
the communication by all of those few bidders was very bad. Not one of them posted a PM, and one left a question that I asked him without any answer.
