The default behavior of the background-image property is to repeat an image both horizontally and vertically.
Certain images may appear odd if repeated in both directions and might require specific repetition, either horizontally or vertically, to maintain their visual integrity.
Example
body { background-image: url(“gradient_bg.png”); } |
Repeating the image solely horizontally (background-repeat: repeat-x;) would enhance the appearance of the background.
Example
body { background-image: url(“gradient_bg.png”); background-repeat: repeat-x; } |
Here’s a suggestion: “For vertical image repetition, utilize background-repeat: repeat-y |
The background-repeat property can also be used to specify that the background image should only appear once.
Example
Display the background image a single time.
body { background-image: url(“img_tree.png”); background-repeat: no-repeat; } |
In the provided example, the background image coincides with the text, causing disruption.
We aim to relocate the image to a position where it minimally interferes with the text.
The background-position property determines the placement of the background image.
Example
Place the background image in the upper-right corner.
body { background-image: url(“img_tree.png”); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: right top; } |
