Definition and Usage
The backgroundAttachment property sets or returns whether a background image should scroll with the content, or be fixed.
Syntax
Set the backgroundAttachment property:
Object.style.backgroundAttachment="scroll|fixed|inherit"
Return the backgroundAttachment property:
Object.style.backgroundAttachment
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| scroll | The background image will scroll with the rest of the page. This is default |
| fixed | The background image stays fixed |
| inherit | The setting of the background-attachment property is inherited from the parent element |
