The background-image CSS property sets one or more background images for an element.

Description

The CSS background-image property sets one or several background images for an element. The images are drawn on successive stacking context layers, with the first specified being drawn as if it is the closest to the user. The borders of the element are then drawn on top of them, and the background-color is drawn beneath them.

Value:          <url> | none | inherit
Initial:        none
Applies to:     all elements
Inherited:      no
Percentages:    N/A
Media:          visual
Computed value: absolute URI or none

Examples

#example { 
    background-image: url("images/darkpattern.png"); 
}
