How would this work? Does the UA realize that either images have been disabled, the image format is not supported or a 404, etc. Wouldn't this happen anyway if I just had. background: red url(image.png); Why would you need the transparent background? >> Can you clearly define why you in some cases use this? >> >> background:url(...); > > If I want all other background properties to use the initial value. Which one is the initial value, the other (or better) value or the fall back to the red background? I just trying to see a clear picture here. :-) Like what are the use cases?
