background-repeat

Description

Determines how the background image of an element is repeated.

Syntax

{ background-repeat: repeat | repeat-x | repeat-y | no-repeat}

Remarks

The attribute only has an effect if a background image has been specified.

A value of repeat means that the image is repeated both horizontally and vertically. The repeat-x (repeat-y) value makes the image repeat horizontally (vertically), to create a single band of images from one side to the other. With a value of no-repeat, the image is not repeated.

This attribute is not inherited.

Example

In the following example, the image will only be repeated vertically. 

BODY {background: red url(pendant.gif);
      background-repeat: repeat-y;}
