You can apply multiple backgrounds to elements. These are layered atop one another with the first background you provide on top and the last background listed in the back. Only the last background can include a background color.
Specifying multiple backgrounds is easy:
.myclass {
background: background1, background 2, ..., backgroundN;
}
You can do this with both the shorthand
background
property and the individual properties thereof except for
background-color
. That is, the following background properties can be specified as a list, one per background:
background
,
background-attachment
,
background-clip
,
background-image
,
background-origin
,
background-position
,
background-repeat
,
background-size
.
In this example, three backgrounds are stacked: the Firefox logo, an image of bubbles, and a linear gradient :
<div class="multi-bg-example"></div>
.multi-bg-example {
width: 100%;
height: 400px;
background-image: url(https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/11305/firefox.png),
url(https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/11307/bubbles.png),
linear-gradient(to right, rgba(30, 75, 115, 1), rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));
background-repeat: no-repeat,
no-repeat,
no-repeat;
background-position: bottom right,
left,
right;
}
(If image does not appear in CodePen, click the 'Tidy' button in the CSS section)
As you can see here, the Firefox logo (listed first within
background-image
) is on top, directly above the bubbles graphic, followed by the gradient (listed last) sitting underneath all previous 'images'. Each subsequent sub-property (
background-repeat
and
background-position
) applies to the corresponding backgrounds. So the first listed value for
background-repeat
applies to the first (frontmost) background, and so forth.
