what is the difference between background and background-image?? where should i use them? thanks you can write me: txakurra@doramail.com

don't post emails on public pages, spambots are crawling :D --- background-image is for putting image in background. I prefer the shorthand. Never used explicit background-image lately. --- Black colored background: .className { background: #000000; } Black color, and an image centered vertically and horizontally. The image isn't tiled (no-repeat) and will scroll with the page: .className { background: #000000 url('path/file.gif') no-repeat scroll 50% 50%; } More info: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_ba... --- Why can't I change my sig? (this one is manually edited)

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think "background" would be use to merge all the background attribute at once. example: background: url("image.jpg") no-repeat fixed #000000 while background-image is just use to insert image in the background.
