This is slightly OT, but if someone from Sugru is reading, the page looks weird in Chrome. The background is very jittery when you scroll (Chrome 15.0.874.121).

This is slightly OT, but if someone from Sugru is reading, the page looks weird in Chrome. The background is very jittery when you scroll (Chrome 15.0.874.121). It stays fixed in Safari and scrolls down in Firefox, and both look fine, but Chrome looks a bit weird.

- jannes 15y agoThat's because whoever coded this page decided that it's a good idea to emulate "background-position: fixed" by updating the "background-position" of the #main element on every scroll event. Which seems quite stupid if you ask me.
- harrisonp 15y agoword. yep, something like background-attachment to fixed when the element is scrolled into view
- Hovertruck 15y agoThis was almost too annoying for me to actually pay attention to the page.
- sjs 15y agoI had to use this 'zap' bookmarklet[1] on it. It was way too distracting. [1] https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html
- WiseWeasel 15y agoIt's probably done like that because iDevices don't support fixed positioning. Some browser detection and different CSS/JS profiles based on browser type would probably be warranted.
- skeletonjelly 15y agoI can see how mobile devices that don't want a mobile version of the site kind of necessitate this, but surely Apple could have gone about this better.
- jmonegro 15y agoThat's idiotic, sacrificing the majority for the minority.
- peterkerr 15y agoThanks for the tip Marcus. We've fixed this now.
