| <!DOCTYPE html><html><body background="edureka.png"><h1>Welcome to Edureka</h1><p><a href="<a href="https://www.edureka.co">https://www.edureka.co</a>">Edureka.co</a></p></body></html> |
The background attribute which we specified in the <body> tag is not supported in HTML5. Using CSS properties, we can also add background image in a webpage.
Let us first understand how we can add background image in a webpage using CSS. Later moving ahead, we will look at different CSS properties using which we can change the look & feel of the webpage.

| body {background-image: url("bg3.png"), url("bg1.jpg");background-color: #cccccc;} |
Notes:
- The background image by default is added to the left corner & is repeated both ways, i.e. horizontally & vertically.
- The reason why it is preferred to keep a background color is that if the image is unavailable, so the background-color property will be used and the same will be displayed.
Now before understanding how we can use different CSS property values, let’s look at the list of CSS property values associated with the background image.
