Incorporating Background Image with CSS Gradient - A Winning Combination!

Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong here? The gradient is working fine, but the image isn't showing up.

You can view the page on my Wordpress site at: 

body {  
    background-color: #FFF !important; /* setting a fallback color if gradients are not supported */
    background: #fff url(/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/body-bg2.png) repeat-x !important;
    background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #A9A9A9) !important; /* For Chrome and Safari */
    background-image:    -moz-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #A9A9A9) !important; /* For old Fx (3.6 to 15) */
    background-image:     -ms-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #A9A9A9) !important; /* For pre-releases of IE 10 */
    background-image:      -o-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #A9A9A9) !important; /* For old Opera (11.1 to 12.0) */
    background-image:         linear-gradient(to bottom, #fff, #A9A9A9) !important; /* Standard syntax; must be last */
}

UPDATE: It seems that the gradient effect is not displaying in Internet Explorer, only the image...

Thank you for any assistance, Ken

Answer №1

background-image takes precedence over backgorund. In order for it to function correctly, the background-repeat also needs to be separately specified. This has been tested in Firefox.

body{
    background-color: #fcfcf0;
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-image: url(../img/abdul.jpg), -moz-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #A9A9A9);
    /* And the same with other prefixes */
    /* For older versions of Internet Explorer*/
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#A9A9A9');
}

After feedback from Ken, it appears that there may be issues with IE 9. It struggles to handle gradients and images.

To address this problem in IE, you will need to add gradients similar to the code snippet above, then enclose all your content within a div element where you can apply image CSS.

<body style="gradients styles...">
<div style="background-image styles">
Your content
</div>
</body>
