Notes

Firefox, Chrome and Safari support the unofficial -webkit-background-clip: text (only with prefix). Safari does not support -webkit-background-clip: text; for <button> elements. But you can put <span> inside <button> to get the same result.

  1. Partial support in Opera Mini refers to not supporting background sizing or background attachments. However Opera Mini 7.5 supports background sizing (including cover and contain values).

  2. Partial support in Safari 6 refers to not supporting background sizing offset from edges syntax.

  3. Does not support background-size values in the background shorthand

* Partial support with prefix.

Bugs

  • iOS Safari has buggy behavior with background-size: cover; on a page's body.

  • iOS Safari has buggy behavior with background-size: cover; + background-attachment: fixed;

  • Safari (OS X and iOS) and Chrome do not support background-size: 100% <height>px; in combination with SVG images, it leaves them at the original size while other browsers stretch the vector image correctly while leaving the height at the specified number of pixels.

  • Android 4.3 browser and below are reported to not support percentages in background-size
