Quick Reference
The background-attachment property determines whether the background image scrolls with the rest of the page or is fixed in place as the page scrolls.
div {
background-image: url("my-background.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
Values
| Default value | scroll |
| Inherited values | no |
| Can it be animated? | no |
These are the allowed values.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| scroll | The background image will scroll with the page (default) |
| fixed | The background image will not scroll with the page |
| local | The background image will scroll with the element’s contents |
| initial | Sets this property to its default value |
| inherit | Inherits this property from its parent element |
Using JavaScript
The HTML element can also be styled using JavaScript and the element’s id.
document.getElementById('my_div').style.backgroundAttachment = 'fixed';
<button onclick='my_function()'>Click Here</button>
<script>
function my_function() {
document.getElementById('my_div').style.backgroundAttachment = 'fixed';
}
</script>
