I need a body background that used the whole viewport. Time ago I used to see solutions like html{ height: 100%;} or set in the body.
None of these worked for me in my different scenarios when using a background gradient.
Solution: fixed
Adding fixed at the background gradient style fixes everything everywhere. Weather the page is short (smaller than the browser window), long pages, iPad, iPhone...
Here's a background gradient example with the fixed attribute.
body {
background: #00acc1;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(-45deg, #00acc1 0%, #24678d 44%, #24678d 100%) fixed;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(-45deg, #00acc1 0%,#24678d 44%,#24678d 100%) fixed;
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #00acc1 0%,#24678d 44%,#24678d 100%) fixed;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#00acc1', endColorstr='#24678d',GradientType=1 );
}
