Examples

body {
  background-image: url("images/cartooncat.png");
  background-attachment: fixed;
}

Multiple background image support

This property supports multiple background images. You can specify a different <attachment> for each background, separated by commas:

body {
  background-image: url("img1.png"), url("img2.png");
  background-attachment: scroll, fixed;
}

Each image is matched with the corresponding attachment type, from first specified to last.
