css - background-size before IE9

Question

I have some simple CSS which uses the property background-size to force the background to fill the page.

body {
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background: url("/img/bg.jpg");
  background-size: cover;
}

This code breaks on Internet Explorer 8 and lower, due to the lack of support for the property background-size. Using this polyfill code, its possible to add IE8 support to this code. However, the code still breaks on IE7 and lower.

Is there any solution to this?
