CSS Multiple Backgrounds
CSS allows you to add multiple background images for an element, through thebackground-image property.
The different background images are separated by commas, and the images are stacked on top of each other, where the first image is closest to the viewer.
The following example has two background images, the first image is a flower (aligned to the right-bottom) and the second image is a paper-like background (aligned to the top-left corner):
Lorem Ipsum Dolor
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.
Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Example
background-image: url(img_flwr.gif), url(paper.gif);
background-position: right bottom, left top;
background-repeat: no-repeat, repeat;
}
Multiple background images can be specified using either the individual background properties (as above) or with thebackground shorthand property.
The following example uses thebackground shorthand property (same result as example above):
Example
background: url(img_flwr.gif) right bottom no-repeat, url(paper.gif) left top repeat;
}
