Background properties allow authors to position a background image, repeat it, and declare whether it should be fixed with respect to the viewport or scrolled along with the document.
Background properties are not inherited, but the parent box's background will shine through by default because of the initial 'transparent' value on 'background-color'.
The 'background' property is a shorthand property for setting the individual background properties (i.e., 'background-color', 'background-image', 'background-repeat', 'background-attachment' and 'background-position') at the same place in the style sheet.
Colors and backgrounds (1393 words)
The background of the root element becomes the background of the canvas and covers the entire canvas, anchored at the same point as it would be if it was painted only for the root element itself.
Backgrounds of elements that form a stacking context (see the 'z-index' property) are painted at the bottom of the element's stacking context, below anything in that stacking context.
Given a valid declaration, the 'background' property first sets all the individual background properties to their initial values, then assigns explicit values given in the declaration.
