Body Background Attribute

Body Background Attribute

If you want to add a background image instead of a color, one solution is the <body background> attribute. It specifies a background image for an HTML document.

Syntax:

<body background="URL">

Attribute:

background - URL for background image

Example:

<html>
  <body background="https://assets.digitalocean.com/blog/static/hacktoberfest-is-back/hero.png">
  </body>
</html>

body-background attribute is depreciated

The body-background attribute has been deprecated in HTML5 and is no longer recommended for use. The correct way to style the <body> tag is with CSS.

There are several CSS properties used for setting the background of an element. These can be used on the tag to set the background of an entire page.
