The background property is a shorthand for the more specific background-related properties. Some examples of background declarations follow:
BODY { background: white url(http://www.htmlhelp.com/foo.gif) }
BLOCKQUOTE { background: #7fffd4 }
P { background: url(../backgrounds/pawn.png) #f0f8ff fixed }
TABLE { background: #0c0 url(leaves.jpg) no-repeat bottom right }A value not specified will receive its initial value. For example, in the first three rules above, the background-position property will be set to 0% 0%.
To help avoid conflicts with user style sheets, background and color properties should always be specified together.
