Question

I have a gradient as a background colour but it’s just repeating. I want the gradient to stretch to full screen so it’s not possible to zoom out and see any white space or repeated gradients.

Here is my css for the body

body {
text-align:center;
background: rgb(238,238,238); /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(238,238,238,1) 0%, rgba(89,89,89,1) 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(238,238,238,1)), color-stop(100%,rgba(89,89,89,1))); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(238,238,238,1) 0%,rgba(89,89,89,1) 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(238,238,238,1) 0%,rgba(89,89,89,1) 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(238,238,238,1) 0%,rgba(89,89,89,1) 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom,  rgba(238,238,238,1) 0%,rgba(89,89,89,1) 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#eeeeee', endColorstr='#595959',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
}

Answer 1

Try to set the height and width on body and also try to use background-attachment:

html, body
{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}
body
{
    …
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-attachment: fixed;
}
