How can I use 'linear-gradient' for fixed background image with CSS

I am using linear-gradient for my background-image. That was working well until I set background-attachment to fixed.

How can I do same effect with background-attachment: fixed;

.photo {
  background-image: 
    linear-gradient(
      to bottom, 
      rgba(255,255,255,0) 80%, 
      rgba(255,255,255,1) 100%
    ),
    url(https://s30.postimg.org/v67rh5bdd/image.jpg);
  background-attachment: unset; /* 'fixed' does not work */
  background-position: center top;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  width: 100%;
  height: 55vh;
  position: absolute;
}
.panel {
  margin-top:30vh;
}
.panel-body {
  height: 100vh;
}

Solution

  • Why not use a pseudo element on the .photo div to hold the gradient. This can be positioned absolutely over the top of the image.

    .photo {
  background-image: url(https://s30.postimg.org/v67rh5bdd/image.jpg);
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-position: center top;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  width: 100%;
  height: 55vh;
  position: absolute;
}

.photo::before {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;

  background: 
    linear-gradient(
      to bottom, 
      rgba(255,255,255,0) 80%, 
      rgba(255,255,255,0.1) 82%, 
      rgba(255,255,255,0.2) 84%, 
      rgba(255,255,255,0.3) 86%,
      rgba(255,255,255,0.4) 88%, 
      rgba(255,255,255,0.5) 90%, 
      rgba(255,255,255,0.6) 92%,
      rgba(255,255,255,0.7) 94%, 
      rgba(255,255,255,0.8) 96%, 
      rgba(255,255,255,0.9) 98%,
      rgba(255,255,255,1) 100%
    );
}
