Fixed background images not loading properly on touchscreen windows laptops

Ok this is totally confusing me. Attached are two images of the same site. One is rendering properly on Mac (firefox, chrome, safari) and properly on Windows (chrome, firefox, edge). However certain touchscreen windows computers using chrome or firefox is rendering the fixed background image in half of the div box. I am at a complete loss please help.

earli.webflow.io is the live site.

@Alex_Villalpando your image properties and your div properties are in correct this is why this is happening some browsers are more strict than others. you gave your div a set with of 500px yet your telling the browser to do min and max 50%. also your image is set to 50% width and 100% that will make the image out of proportion. set the background image to cover then use the image adjust tool to position what part of the image you want to show

Hey @Alex_Villalpando,

We actually have some javascript in place which prevents fixed backgrounds images from rendering as fixed on touch screen devices. We do this because there are some known repainting css issues caused by fixed background images on elements (it’s also really heavy on CPU’s).

A work around which you can try is set a Fixed element as the background, try the following: Trouble with fixed background images not remaining fixed on touch screen devices - #3 by Brian_M_Fromknecht

  • Add in a div, call it “Fixed background” (or whatever you wish)
  • Set the div to Position: Fixed
  • Width: 100%, Height: 100vh (type in 100vh so that it takes up the full viewport)
  • Adjust the z-index of this element to sit behind all other elements :smiley:

Hopefully this is helpfully :bowing_man:
