background
The background property is a shorthand property for setting the individual background properties (i.e., 'background-color', 'background-image', 'background-repeat', 'background-attachment' and 'background-position') at the same place in the style sheet.
Description
| Values | [<'background-color'> || <'background-image'> || <'background-repeat'> || <'background-attachment'> || <'background-position'>] | inherit |
|---|---|
| Initial value | see individual properties |
| Applies to | All elements |
| Inherited | No |
Point, Note
- Given a valid declaration, the 'background' property first sets all the individual background properties to their initial values, then assigns explicit values given in the declaration.
Values
See individual properties.

Example A
[style.css]
