Question

I have set a background on the data-role=”page” element like so

<div data-role="page" style="background: transparent url('img/background.jpg') no-repeat;" >

It works perfectly fine on a desktop browser and on the iPad safari browser.

The issue I am having is that when you add the website to the home screen as an ‘app’ and it is a full screen web app. It doesn’t show the background…

I have tried setting it via a style sheet and inline and both ways give me the same issue.

I am completely out of ideas as to why this wouldn’t work.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

In the end this is what worked for me.

<div data-role="page" id="home" style="background: #000000 
    url('img/background.jpg') repeat;">

wouldn’t work via a css file.
