background-image: url("rahasyacommunity.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
}

Example

Here we Use the shorthand property to set the background properties in one declaration:

body {
background: #ffffff url("img_tree.png") no-repeat right top;
}

When we use the shorthand property in CSS the order of the property values is:

background-color

background-image

background-repeat

background-attachment

background-position

In the CSS Background Shorthand It does not matter if one of the background property values is missing, as long as the other ones are in this order.

Note : we do not use the background-attachment property in the examples above, as it does not have a value.

Let's see Full Example of CSS Background Shorthand
