284412 - Background body image in CSS wont show beyond 100% window height if sent as xml+xhtml

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 147436

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tom A. Haugen]

User-Agent:       Opera/7.53 (Windows NT 5.1; U)  [en]
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

As seen on http://haxx.no/test.php and http://haxx.no.
If a document is sent as application/xhtml+xml and has these CSS properties(see 
under), a background image on the body tag will not display beyond 100% of 
window/tab height.

html, body { height: 100%; }
body { background: url(image.jpg); }
div#wrap {
  min-height: 100%;
  height: auto !important;
  height: 100%;
}

The background image is displayed all the way if content-type is text/html. 
(Seen here: http://haxx.no/indexWorks.php?id=programs )

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send page as application/xhtml+xml
2. Put in CSS written above


Actual Results:  
Background-image on the body would not display beyond 100% of the window-height, 
even if the document is larger than that

Expected Results:  
Displayed the background-image everywhere in the document, not only what the 
browser first see's.

In HTML you can apply a background to the canvas by styling the body element,
that doesn't apply to XHTML, see:
