I’m building a site with a background image that fills the browser viewport. It’s working great in Mozilla and Safari, but IE doesn’t work at all, and I have no idea why. Any ideas? Here’s my HTML containing the Javascript… \ ```auto Resize
``` … and here’s the CSS. ```auto html, body { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } /* cutting the backround to fit the browser to avoid unwanted scrollbars */ #bg_cut { z-index: 1; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden; } ```
