Full size background images displaying differently on Safari

Hello!

The site I'm working on has a home page with a full size background image on its home page. I'm using this code snippet (from a css tricks article by chris coyier) in my css to achieve it.

html { background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; -webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover; }

Generally, this works really well! But in safari the image is zoomed in by about 15% so the original cropping of the image is distorted. Any ideas for ways to fix it?

Thanks! Max.

I found this on stackoverflow It may help you out to provide a fallback for safari. let me know if it works out for you. If not I can try looking elsewhere for a solution.
