Hi !......

This is driving me nuts !..... cool.gif

In my "stylesheet_background.css" file I've put:

body
{background-color: #787878;
background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#CDCDCD), to(#131313));
background-image:-o-linear-gradient(top, #CDCDCD, #131313);
background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #CDCDCD, #131313);
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorstr='#CDCDCD', endColorstr='#131313' gradientType='0')}

In the top of my webpage I've put:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

The output is as follows:

IPB Image

If I then remove the DOCTYPE, I'm getting this result:

IPB Image

And that's how I wan't it to be (as the last example) !

When I'm scrolling down the page, the gradient background stay fixed (read: don't change).

What do I do to solve this issue - I need the DOCTYPE specified to show other things correctly !

Thanks ! cool.gif

Does <!DOCTYPE html> make a difference? How does the page react to another doctype that triggers Standards Mode?

FWIW, the HTML 5 doctype should trigger standards mode.

I want to make sure it happens with other standards mode doctypes too. Sounds odd it only works in quirks. Haven't tried gradients myself, but why wouldn't they work in SM?
