How do I make background-size work in IE?

Question

Is there any known way to make the CSS style background-size work in IE?

Answer 1

I created jquery.backgroundSize.js: a 1.5K jquery plugin that can be used as a IE8 fallback for "cover" and "contain" values. Have a look at the demo.

Answer 2

you can use this file (https://github.com/louisremi/background-size-polyfill “background-size polyfill”) for IE8 that is really simple to use:

.selector {
background-size: cover;
-ms-behavior: url(/backgroundsize.min.htc);
}
