Stationary Background, Moving Foreground Website - css

So I have been working on a website using the .NET framework and would like to make the background style look a little something like it does at bons.me. As you can see when you scroll it background stays in the same position, however as you scroll the part of which you see changes. Anyone know how I would go about doing this? Would it be something in css or ...? I'm rather new to web development, but it would also be just as much of a help if you could just point me in a direction or tell me what this is called so I could google it.

This deals with the css property background-position: fixed. David Walsh has a good article describing the technique here.

Parallax- Having images move faster than background

I have looked all over for this and cannot find a tutorial or anything to help create it.
I am looking to do something like this site
If you see on the left the text Mar is scrolling faster than the background image. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can learn how that is done.
The site you are reffering to uses only JavaScript for making all the animations. Using this technique has some andvanteges and disadvanteges (for example you can't use hardware-acceleration).
But as you have used css as your only tag I will lead you to a pure css solution:
At first you should read something about 3D-transformations in CSS3. The reason for this is, that you will move the things that has to move slower far away in the background. This will have the side effect, that they appear to be smaller. This problem can be resolved be using zoom in CSS.
If this is exactly what you wan't here is a good tutorial on how to do this.
Tipp: When you wan't to learn new things it's always a good practice looking what other people have done. This is very easy in webdesign because you can look at other peoples sourcecode :-)

Can't click on links hovering above video in safari

So I have a website with a menu-bar at the top with a sub menu that appears when you hover.
Under the menu, I have a large video playing embedded with the HTML5 <video> tag. However, on safari on ipad, i can not click the links that are hovering above the video, despite me having given them an appropriate z-index.
Can anyone help me out here? :(
edit: here's a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/7t6c00vn/
The issue seems only to happen on ipad.
The video takes precedence over any other material. Check Putting Video on Canvas on developer.apple.com.
So far as I can see the only solution seems to be to hide the video. Check
A Solution for Overlaid Elements on Video
I would also love to know if there is any other / better solution to this because I'm also in the process of building something using HTML5 and video that needs interaction.
It turns out that it's a sort-of-bug that was fixed with an update for the system. I don't think this problem has a definite answer yet, but I will choose FrankHe's answer as it actually provides some real suggestions and material for the problem.
But yea, things seem to work after the iOS update, so to any end users experiencing overlay problems with Video elements, update your systems! :)
Unfortunately, this also means I no longer have an un-updated device to test on.

Change Background of css font code

I'm really new in this so, maybe you can help me!
I'm trying to change a background of this css, but I could not. Help me please!
P.s I just copy an example of other web page, so don't be extrange if you see something wrong please. (if you can't see the web page, maybe you should take a look over here https://www.charitywater.org/donate/#step-1) Just want to change the first big background and the last big background.
The css code:
When you say "first big background", I am assuming you mean the people in the background. If so, go into your style sheet (https://d555kv4p2mtwa.cloudfront.net/_site/styles/stylesheets/microsites/donate.css?v=10)
and modify the background property for .form-general{}
I was able to detect that image right away with Developer Tools for Google Chrome.

Drupal 7 - Slideshow with caption

I am attempting to create a View Slideshow for a website I am designing and the have it so an image-specific caption/description is placed over each image. I've been Googling some solutions and the only thing I could find was a solution for placing captions above or under the image, not on top of it. I feel as if there should be a very simple solution for this sort of thing, however, I have been unable to find it.
First, I would like to know if this is even possible with View Slideshow and if so then how to accomplish this.
Any information that is provided will be greatly appreciated.
Just use CSS! When you think about it, it's not about the views module. Even html doesn't allow you to put two things at the same place. Not without CSS anyway.
I managed to do quite the same on this website (cf. the slideshow of the homepage). I only used the position:relative and then for exampletop:XXXpx and left:XXXpx propreties to position the text wherever I want in the slideshow container.
If you are not familiar with theses CSS propreties, here is a little demonstration of how it works. Have fun!

Google+ Games Buttons

I have no idea how to even start this question, but I was referred to Stack Overflow by a friend who basically told me that anything I need help with or to help others, I should come here. So I have a question for website designers and coders alike. (optional: have a google+ account for a visual aid)
If you go into Google+, you have all these cool features that seem advanced with code, but very basic in style. You hover over a button and it becomes animated like the in the games section. You have an image of the game in a div container I believe and it cycles through like its a gif or a timed sequence. At the bottom of the image, you see a small box from left to right, filled in with a different color, and has the name of the game on it. When you hover over said game a box begins to move from the bottom of the div to the top of the div completely covering up the image, but has more details in it. These details includes the description of the game and a button at the bottom that is a dark bluish that says play game, and when you hover over it, then it becomes a light blue like color.
Basically I want to create the same thing, but with different attributes. Same concept initially with the picture and the box with the name with a white border, but when you hover over it, then the background would be like a dark red with white text and a dark red button with a white border with the words view site and when you hover over it then it is like a light red.
I am making a portfolio website for my website designs and photoshop work. I think that this would be a great addition and I hope somebody or anyone can help me. I always give credit in my about pages if I didn't actually create something on my own.
Thank you for your time on reading this ridicuously long question, but I hope it relatively makes sense.
Your question makes sense and you can totally do it, personally I recommend learning HTML & CSS and creating a working demo - then hiring someone / finding someone to help build the features you want it to have. That way you have total control of the appearance, which I think is something that you're more interested about then coding the features ( you mention showcasing your design work ).

Is a nice resource I saw today that might help you get started. In the future I think Stack Overflow is much more affective for specific questions related to specific issues, not something so broad as to code and design an entire web application.
Best of luck!
