Set the Background Properties

By Stephen Bucaro

Use the background property as a shorthand method to set multiple background properties in one declaration. The properties must be in the order: color, image, position, repeat but you can leave some properties out and the browser will use a default value for those properties.

Below is an example of using inline style to set the border properties for a div.

<div style="background: #b0ffb0 url(bkgndimg.gif) top right no-repeat">Text</div>

Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text

These style rules result in a green background color with a purple image in the upper-right corner that does not repeat, but scrolls with the background.

• One more attribute you can specify at end of the background property is inherit (requires no value). If the parent element sets the background property and the child element sets the background property, leaving out a value, the child element will use the value set in the parent.
