The background-image property sets the background image of an element.
Example:
BODY { background-image: url(/images/star.jpg) }
P { background-image: url(http://www.tagsnstyles.tripod.com/images/star.gif) }
See example in action
When a background image is defined, a similar background color should also be defined for those not loading images.
Authors may also use the shorthand background property, which is currently better supported than the background-image property.
