HTML Background Code

This page contains HTML background code. Feel free to copy and paste the HTML background code into your own website, blog, MySpace page, or other HTML document. And feel free to modify the code as you wish.

Shorthand Background Code

The quickest HTML code for backgrounds is the background property. Strictly speaking, this is a CSS property but you use it in conjunction with your HTML code. The background property is a shorthand property for setting all background properties at once.

Page Background

To set the background for the whole page, simply apply the background property against the body tag.

Alternative Background Codes

Below are more HTML background codes. In these examples, instead of using the background shorthand property, we use a property more specific to the actual effect we want to achieve. Doing this is simply an alternative - it's your choice which method you use.

Background Color

This example code applies a background color to a p tag using the background-color property. You can apply background color to any other HTML element, such as a div tag, body tag etc. Here, we also apply color to the text by using the color property.
Choose a color with the HTML color picker.

Fixed Background Image

You can fix the background image so that it doesn't scroll when you scroll the div (or page, as the case may be).
