## 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
|
|
<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 <body> tag to set the background of an entire page.
