Parallax

Materialize is a modern responsive CSS framework based on Material Design by Google.

Parallax is an effect where the background content or image in this case, is moved at a different speed than the foreground content while scrolling. Check out the demo to get a better idea of it.

  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    var elems = document.querySelectorAll('.parallax');

    });
  });

Parallax Customization

The parallax container height is what defines how much of the image can be seen. This is set to a default of 500px. You can add your own style to override this. 


    .parallax-container {
      height: "your height here";
    }
