This chapter teaches you how to set backgrounds of various HTML elements. You can set the 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 a 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.
<html> <head> </head> <body> <p style = "background-color:yellow;"> This text has a yellow background color. </p> </body> </html>
Set the Background Image
We can set the background image by calling local stored images as shown below −
<html> <head> <style> body { background-image: url("/css/images/css.jpg"); background-color: #cccccc; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Hello World!</h1> </body> <html>
Repeat the Background Image
The following example demonstrates how to repeat the background image if an image is small. You can use no-repeat value for background-repeatproperty if you don't want to repeat an image, in this case image will display only once.
By default background-repeat property will have repeat value.
<html> <head> <style> body { background-image: url("/css/images/css.jpg"); background-repeat: repeat; } </style> </head> <body> <p>Learn Software</p> </body> </html>
The following example which demonstrates how to repeat the background image vertically.
<html> <head> <style> body { background-image: url("/css/images/css.jpg"); background-repeat: repeat-y; } </style> </head> <body> <p>Learn Software</p> </body> </html>
The following example demonstrates how to repeat the background image horizontally.
<html> <head> <style> body { background-image: url("/css/images/css.jpg"); background-repeat: repeat-x; } </style> </head> <body> <p>Learn Software</p> </body> </html>
The following example demonstrates how to set the background image position 100 pixels away from the left side.
<html> <head> <style> body { background-image: url("/css/images/css.jpg"); background-position:100px; } </style> </head> <body> <p>Learn Software</p> </body> </html>
The following example demonstrates how to set the background image position 100 pixels away from the left side and 200 pixels down from the top.
<html> <head> <style> body { background-image: url("/css/images/css.jpg"); background-position:100px 200px; } </style> </head> <body> <p>Learn Software</p> </body> </html>
Background attachment determines whether a background image is fixed or scrolls with the rest of the page.
The following example demonstrates how to set the fixed background image.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> body { background-image: url('/css/images/css.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; } </style> </head> <body> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> </body> </html>
The following example demonstrates how to set the scrolling background image.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> body { background-image: url('/css/images/css.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-attachment:scroll; } </style> </head> <body> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> <p>The background-image is fixed. Try to scroll down the page.</p> </body> </html>
Shorthand Property
You can use the background property to set all the background properties at once. For example −
<p style = "background:url(/images/pattern1.gif) repeat fixed;"> This parapgraph has fixed repeated background image. </p>
