CSS parallax scrolling with background image moving

Question

Here is what my parallax scrolling currently looks like:

w3schools.com

I have this:

background-image:url("http://google.com");
background-attachment: fixed;

i want this but i don't want to use the "materialize css" stuff: materializecss.com

where the background-image moves a little while you scroll up or down the page.

Answer 1

To get this parallax effect, background images have to be placed on different elements. These elements additionally need to have defined background-attachment: fixed. By defining background-attachment the behavior and positioning of any background image can be changed.

Answer 2

try to add this class to your image section

background:url('http://google.com') no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size:cover"

Answer 3

You don't need to use the materialize.css, take a look at my example here
