How to Combine Background Image and CSS3 Gradient on the Same Element
Topic: JavaScript / jQueryPrev|Next
Answer: Use the CSS3 Multiple Backgrounds
You can simply use the CSS3 multiple backgrounds feature to apply or combine the background-image and CSS3 gradient on the same element. These are layered one on the top of another, where the first background you specify will appear on the top, whereas the last background in the list will appear at the bottom. Only the last background can include a background-color.
Let's try out the following example to understand how it basically works:
Example
Try this code »<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Apply Background-image and CSS3 Gradient on the Same Element</title>
<style>
.box{
height: 400px;
background: linear-gradient(transparent, black), url("images/sky.jpg") no-repeat center, lightblue;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="box"></div>
</body>
