Background Attachment

Background attachment fixes an image in place or lets it scroll with the page. It creates the classic parallax-style effect.

The background-attachment property specifies whether the background image should scroll or be fixed (will not scroll with the rest of the page):

Example

body
{

  background-image: url("img_tree.png");

  background-repeat: no-repeat;

  background-position: right top;

    background-attachment: fixed;
}

Example

body
{
