The background of an element is the area covered by the width and height of that
Color and Backgrounds
The background-repeat property
controls whether or not a
background-image is repeated (tiled),
and if it is repeated, the property
defines along which of the specified
axes (x, y, or both) the image is to be
repeated.
By default, a background-image is
repeated along both vertical and
element (whether those dimensions are set explicitly, or the content dictates them);
it also includes the area covered by padding and borders. A background-color (or
background-image) that??™s applied to an element will appear beneath the foreground
content of that element, and the area covered by the padding and border properties
for the element. This coverage area is evident where an element has transparent
(or dotted or dashed) borders, and the background is seen beneath the borders (or
between the dots). Note that Internet Explorer versions up to and including 6 don??™t
support transparent borders.
