background

Hi,

I have a website using a huge background image (2000x1500) in a div container (100% x 100%).

When I open that site on Safari on an iPad it gets scaled down (~40%) in a different proportion than the content (~80%).

I moved the background to an img-tag in a div with 100% width and 100% height and an overflow setting "hidden". Exactly the same happens.

Is there a CSS Setting that can help Safari to scale down background images in the same proportion as the content?
