Google Chrome bug with tr background

Question

I\'m trying to set a background-image to a table row, but background is applied to all its td children.

In IE7 there is the same bug but it is solve with

<         


        

Answer 1

Spent two days on this problem, finally found the answer here:

You need to set:

background-attachment: fixed;

Not sure why the mods are deleting this answer, its not on the page.

Answer 2

I'd recommend to set the background-image for the table-cells directly, shifting the background-position of all subsequent cells to the left so that it looks as it should. This way you don't have to slice your background-image.

Answer 3

Here's my jQuery solution. It's for a thead tr but should work for tbody tr's as well.

    $(document).ready(function () {
    // Apply <thead><tr> background row fix for Chrome/Safari (webkit)
    if ($.browser.webkit) {
        $('thead tr').each(function (i) {
            var theadWidth = $(this).width()-1;
            $(this).append('<div style="position:absolute;top:'+$(this).position().top+'px;left:'+$(this).position().left+'px;z-index:0;width:'+theadWidth+'px;height:'+($(this).height()+8)+'px;background:#2e4b83 url(th_background.jpg) no-repeat 0 0;background-size:'+theadWidth+'px 100%;"></div>');
        });
    }
});

You can check it out in Chrome/Firefox/IE9. It should appear the same.

This is the only solution I am aware of without using JavaScript. It has the shortcoming of you specifying the height of the TR and the TD, because the TR is positioned absolute. I am also not sure how it will behave in other browsers.

<style>
    tr {
        position: absolute;
        background: url(http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif) no-repeat;
        height: 200px;
        border: 1px solid #00f;
    }
    td {
        width: 200px;
        height: 200px;
        border: 1px solid #f00;
    }
</style>

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
        <td></td>
        <td></td>
    </tr>
</table>

Answer 5

It should fix the tr background for Chrome and FF:

table.header_table tr#row_1 {    
    display:flex;
}
