The background-repeat property is used in CSS and certain HTML elements. It specifies whether the background image is repeated (tiled), and how.

Values

• repeat - The image is repeated both horizontally and vertically.
• repeat-x - The image is repeated horizontally only.
• repeat-y - The image is repeated vertically only.
• no-repeat - The image is not repeated; only one copy of the image is drawn.

HTML example:

<span style="background-image:url('http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100613222942/htmlcss/images/b/bc/Wiki.png'); background-repeat:repeat-x;">
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</span>

body {
      background-image:url("http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100613222942/htmlcss/images/b/bc/Wiki.png");
      background-repeat:repeat-x;
