== Mozilla Recommended Values ==
It is strongly recommended that developers should specify a background-color to be used if a given image is not available. This is similar to placing alternate text for images.t available. Background images are rendered in the foreground (i.e on top of the background color). This should be considered when using images with transparent background.
== Usage Examples ==
<pre>body { background-image: url("images/mybackground.png"); }
p { background-image: none; }
</pre>
