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