Setting Backgrounds using CSS

This tutorial will teach you how to set backgrounds of various HTML elements. You can set following background properties of an element:

The background-color property is used to set the background color of an element.

The background-image property is used to set the background image of an element.

The background-repeat property is used to control the repetition of an image in the background.

The background-position property is used to control the position of an image in the background.

The background-attachment property is used to control the scrolling of an image in the background.

The background property is used as shorthand to specify a number of other background properties.

Set the background color:

Following is the example which demonstrates how to set the background color for an element.

<p style="background-color:yellow;">

This text has a yellow background color.

</p>

This will produce following result:

This text has a yellow background color.

Set the background image:

Following is the example which demonstrates how to set the background image for an element.

<table style="background-image:url(/images/pattern1.gif);">

<tr><td>

This table has background image set.

</td></tr>

</table>

Repeat the background image:

Following is the example which demonstrates how to repeat the background image if image is small. You can use no-repeat value forbackground-repeat property if you don't want to repeat an image, in this case image will display only once.

By default background-repeat property will haverepeat value.

<table style="background-image:url(/images/pattern1.gif);

              background-repeat: repeat;">

<tr><td>

This table has background image which repeats multiple times.

</td></tr>

</table>

Following is the example which demonstrates how to repeat the background image vertically.

<table style="background-image:url(/images/pattern1.gif);

              background-repeat: repeat-y;">

<tr><td>

This table has background image set which will repeat vertically.

</td></tr>

</table>

Following is the example which demonstrates how to repeat the background image horizontally.

<table style="background-image:url(/images/pattern1.gif);

              background-repeat: repeat-x;">

<tr><td>

This table has background image set which will repeat horizontally.

</td></tr>

</table>

Set the background image position:

Following is the example which demonstrates how to set the background image position 100 pixels away from the left side.

<table style="background-image:url(/images/pattern1.gif);

              background-position:100px;">

<tr><td>

Background image positioned 100 pixels away from the left.

</td></tr>

</table>

Following is the example which demonstrates how to set the background image position 100 pixels away from the left side and 200 pixels down from the top.

<table style="background-image:url(/images/pattern1.gif);

              background-position:100px 200px;">

<tr><td>

This table has background image positioned 100

pixels away from the left and 200 pixels from the top.

</td></tr>

</table>

Set the background attachment:

Background attachment determines whether a background image is fixed or scrolls with the rest of the page.

Following is the example which demonstrates how to set the fixed background image.

<p style="background-image:url(/images/pattern1.gif);

              background-attachment:fixed;">

This parapgraph has fixed background image.

</p>

Following is the example which demonstrates how to set the scrolling background image.

<p style="background-image:url(/images/pattern1.gif);

              background-attachment:scroll;">

This parapgraph has scrolling background image.

</p>

Shorthand property:

You can use the background property to set all the background properties at once. For example:

<pstyle="background:url(/images/pattern1.gif) repeat fixed;">

This parapgraph has fixed repeated background image.

</p>
