A quick workaround for Backstretch on iOS7
Raw
gistfile1.js
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/(iPad|iPhone);.*CPU.*OS 7_\d/i)) {
$("body").css({
"background": "url(path/to/image.jpg) center center no-repeat",
"background-size": "cover"
});
} else {
$.backstretch("path/to/image.jpg");

I think this needs 'iPad' removing as it produced some weird results for me with it in (there's no bottom UI on iOS7 iPad Safari). All fine without it though, thanks!

Hi Scott,
Thank you so much for your wonderful Backstretch! For months I had been looking for code to use on welcome pages with multiple/random backgrounds. Your code not only does exactly what I wanted, but it does it very well, even in older browsers like IE8. Thank you again so very much. -Billy
