I am quite new to sass and compass.
I am trying to have a page background that is responsive. I have tried out this solution provided by
Perfect Full Background Image. i have opted for the jquery solution.
The solution is: if the aspect ratio of the image (inline <img> we intend to use as a background) is larger or smaller than the current aspect ratio of the browser window. If it is lower, than we can set only the width to 100% on the image and know it will fill both height and width. If it is higher, we can set only the height to 100% and know that it will fill both the height and width.
HTML
<img src="images/bg.jpg" id="bg" alt="">
CSS
#bg { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; }
.bgwidth { width: 100%; }
.bgheight { height: 100%; }
Jquery
$(window).load(function() {
var theWindow = $(window),
$bg = $("#bg"),
aspectRatio = $bg.width() / $bg.height();
function resizeBg() {
if ( (theWindow.width() / theWindow.height()) < aspectRatio ) {
$bg
.removeClass()
.addClass('bgheight');
} else {
$bg
.removeClass()
.addClass('bgwidth');
}
}
theWindow.resize(resizeBg).trigger("resize");
});
Is this possible to do with compass using functions or mixins instead of using jquery?
Thanks
