One copy of the background image is centered, and other copies are put
above and below it to make a vertical band behind the element.
’background-attachment’
Value: scroll | fixed | inherit
Initial: scroll
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
If a background image is specified, this property specifies whether it is fixed
with regard to the viewport [p. 96] (’fixed’) or scrolls along with the document
(’scroll’).
Even if the image is fixed, it is still only visible when it is in the background or
padding area of the element. Thus, unless the image is tiled (’background-repeat:
repeat’), it may be invisible.
Example(s):
This example creates an infinite vertical band that remains "glued" to the viewport
when the element is scrolled.
BODY {
background: red url("pendant.gif");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
