As a web developer, one of the most common tasks you’ll come across is creating a background image for a website.

But what happens when you want to repeat that image horizontally?

In this CSS Tutorial, we’ll be discussing how to accomplish this using CSS.

We’ll be going over the different CSS properties that can be used to repeat an image, as well as providing a step-by-step guide on how to implement it on your own website.

Background Repeat Property

The first property we’ll be discussing is the background-repeat property.

This property is used to specify how a background image should be repeated.

The values that can be used with this property are “repeat”, “repeat-x”, “repeat-y”, and “no-repeat”.

“Repeat” will repeat the image both horizontally and vertically, “repeat-x” will repeat the image horizontally, “repeat-y” will repeat the image vertically, and “no-repeat” will not repeat the image at all.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Create a CSS class for the element you want to apply the background image to. In this example, we’ll be using the class “bg-image”.
  2. Add the background-image property to the class and specify the URL of the image you want to use.
  3. Add the background-repeat property and set it to “repeat-x”. This will repeat the image horizontally.
  4. Apply the class to the HTML element you want to apply the background image to.

Example

.bg-image {
background-image: url('path/to/image.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
<div class="bg-image">
    <!-- content goes here -->
</div>
