In most browsers the background image will be shown. If the image has been configured so as not to repeat, and the element is larger than the background image then the area that is not covered by the background image will display the background color. DJL

If you have chosen both a background color and a background image for a page within your site?

This is actually a very good idea, especially if you have a dark background image. The background color will almost always work (unless the browser doesn't support any colors at all) but the background image may not load properly or may take a long time to load. If you have light text on a dark background image, the text will not be readable against the default white background until the background image appears. If something goes wrong with the image download, the user may never be able to read the text. It's a good idea to assign a background color that is similar to the background image to prevent this problem.

What CSS would apply a blue color to a web page background?

You have two options. 1. Set the body tag to the specified blue color: <body style='background-color: #0000FF'> (Find the colors and their corresponding codes using a search engine. #0000FF is a bright blue) 2. Create an image 1 pixel by 1 pixel of the blue color you want to use. Set the body tag to display that image: <body style='background-image: url("myBlueImage.gif")'> I have used the inline styles. You could do this using a linked sheet, or the <STYLE> tag in the header or your HTML. 1. BODY { background-color: #0000FF; background-image: url("myBlueImage.gif"); }

How to use CSS in making the picture a background?

To make a picture a background of a web site using CSS, you will use the different background properties, which are: background-color, background-image, background-repeat, background-attachment, and background-position. The specific property you are looking for is background-image. To use this property you would declare in your style sheet the following: body { background-image: url('paper.jpg'); } This is telling the web browser to use the image paper.jpg and make it the background of the entire page. The other background properties control whether the backgound is repeated along the x and/or y axis, the position on the screen the image begins at, whether the background is fixed or scrolls with the page, and the background color.
