Position

Hi, could be nice if there could be an option to disable plugin for mobile device . Actually it breaks some theme appearance.

Sorry for the delay — I don’t think I’m seeing the issue currently. Or you’ve fixed it in the mean-time? How’s it going?

Thanks for your reply. No I Did not fix it, but it doesn t appeare to much now. If you go to another page but home, before you scroll down it, wacth the world in background moves on the left. Sincerily

Sorry , the background moves on right.

@mondowp, Sorry. I see this now. This is because the plugin currently applies a specific background position on scroll events, including setting the left edge to “0px”, which is probably what’s moving your image. Looks like you have it set to “center”.

I may experiment with an update soon that will ignore horizontal alignment.

LOVE this plugin, thank you!

I’m with mondowp though, my centered backgrounds jump to the right when scrolled. Looking forward to the update.

Tommy I am wating for the update. . . Thanks

Please update position issue ??

This plugin is so simple and perfect for what I need. However, it would be nice to address the background position for responsive sites. I’d like to set the position to “center” which does not work once I start scrolling on the smaller screens.

After looking into this, there isn’t currently a way to fix it that:

(1) uses this simple implementation, and
(2) works in modern browsers.

This works by updating a style property, that can only be set in X/Y coordinates. There is not an equivalent property for setting the *top*/Y coordinate without also moving the X coordinate.

Unfortunately, I don’t have time to add the necessary workarounds or features to enable this plugin to work better with backgrounds that aren’t tile-able. It would require changing the fundamental *simplicity* of this plugin.

If I do make the time for it, I’ll definitely add this.

If you or anyone else you know is moderately good with Javascript, you’re welcome to contribute that feature as a pull-request here: https://github.com/tcg/super-simple-jquery-parallax-background

I’m going to mark this thread as resolved, since this isn’t a “bug” in the software as it exists, but rather a short-coming based on expectations.
