I use this

html { 
background: no-repeat center center fixed; 
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}

Reference

This is cool if you're using php

$("body").css("overflow", "hidden");

Please bare in mind that you don't need JavaScript to achieve this, CSS can do this and it's much faster than any piece of JavaScript.

html,
body {
  overflow-x: hidden; /* refers to the horizontal axis */
}

Thanks Chris, I thought that was php, oops!

If it's well supported, css seems to be the best way to go with most things, at least thats what I'm learning since I joined treehouse

It's interesting to note how many ways you can do the same thing, though even more interesting to know what is the most efficient.
