How to Make a Linear Gradient Background Consistent While Scrolling a Page

Creating a visually appealing webpage often involves the use of backgrounds, and linear gradients can add a stunning effect. However, many developers encounter a common issue: the linear gradient background seems to repeat or not display as intended when scrolling down the page. If you've found yourself in this position, worry not! In this guide, we'll explore how to maintain a consistent linear gradient background throughout scrolling without compromising your existing CSS setup.

Understanding the Problem

When you apply a linear gradient as a background for an HTML page, the gradient can sometimes appear to be 'repeated' when you scroll. This happens because of how height properties are set on the html and body elements.

In the following example, the linear gradient is applied correctly, but it results in a problematic scrolling effect:

This leads to an inconsistent look since the gradient may not cover the entire viewport when the content extends beyond the initial height.

The Solution: Adjusting CSS Properties

To achieve a consistent linear gradient background during scrolling, we need to modify the CSS properties controlling the height of the html and body elements. Here’s how we can do it step-by-step:

Step 1: Update Height Properties

Change the height property from 100% to auto. This adjustment will allow the gradient to dynamically adjust based on the content length and make the gradient consistent across the entire document height.

Current CSS:

Step 2: Add a Wrapper Div

Since we still need an element with a fixed height to maintain design consistency, we can create a wrapper <div>. This wrapper should fill the viewport height, anchoring the inner text and keeping the gradient intact.
