A problem on handheld devices

Hi

I've designed a launch page for a client maktab-ez.com and there is a problem.

When I watch it over tablets/smartphones, the background doesn't appear unless you zoom in to the page and then zoom out.

Is there any solution for this?

As far as I can tell,

background-position: fixed;

is buggy at best on mobile browsers. Check this out:

This blog post tries to explain it and explains a fix you can try: http://catch404.net/2012/12/fixed-backgrounds-on-the-bad-that-is-all-mobile-browsers/

I found some other possible fixes, mostly from stackoverflow posts, by googling something like: "background image problem tablets phones"

Can you post the code you're using for your background image?

We can look at your source code but can't tell if you've made changes or found your solution.

there was no changes...

Thanks a lot, and I think I have a solution for this...

getting the size of the page with js and adding it to a normal sized div with dot class.

I'll try it first thing tomorrow.
