    Chapter 8. Adding Graphics to Web Pages > Positioning a Background Image

    8.4. Positioning a Background Image

    Placing and tiling a background image is just half the fun. With the background-position property, CSS lets you control the exact placement of an image in a number of ways. You can specify both the horizontal and vertical starting points for a graphic in three ways—keywords, exact values, and percentages.

    Figure 8-4. Add graphic backgrounds to the banners and sidebars of a page by taking advantage of the tiling control offered by the repeat-x (left) and repeat-y (right) options.
