background

Description

Sets or retrieves the separate background attributes (backgroundColor, backgroundImage, backgroundRepeat, backgroundAttachment, and backgroundPosition) at once.

Syntax

object.style.background[ = background]

Remarks

The property is a shorthand ("composite") property. Separate properties can be used to specify each of the individual properties, but in many cases it is more convenient to set them in one place using this composite property. Possible values here include all of the possible values for each of the individual properties.

For more information on supported colors, see Color Table.

All individual background properties not set by the composite background property will be set to their initial values.

The property has read/write permission.
