'background-image'
    Value:  	<uri> | none | inherit
    Initial:  	none
    Applies to:  	all elements
    Inherited:  	no
    Percentages:  	N/A
    Media:  	visual

This property sets the background image of an element. When setting a background image, authors should also specify a background color that will be used when the image is unavailable. When the image is available, it is rendered on top of the background color. (Thus, the color is visible in the transparent parts of the image).

Values for this property are either <uri>, to specify the image, or 'none', when no image is used.

Example(s):
<style>
BODY { background-image: url("marble.gif") }
P { background-image: none }
</style>


'background-repeat'
    Value:  	repeat | repeat-x | repeat-y | no-repeat | inherit
    Initial:  	repeat
    Applies to:  	all elements
    Inherited:  	no
    Percentages:  	N/A
    Media:  	visual

If a background image is specified, this property specifies whether the image is repeated (tiled), and how. All tiling covers the content and padding areas of a box. Values have the following meanings:

repeat
    The image is repeated both horizontally and vertically. 
repeat-x
    The image is repeated horizontally only. 
repeat-y
    The image is repeated vertically only. 
no-repeat
    The image is not repeated: only one copy of the image is drawn. 

Example(s):

<style>
BODY { 
  background: white url("pendant.gif");
  background-repeat: repeat-y;
  background-position: center;
}
</style>
