Background-position property

The background-position property controls the position of the background image. The property value consists of two parts separated by a space: x y.

x specifies the horizontal position, and y the vertical position.

The keywords left, center, right, percentage and pixel values can be used as the x value.

The keywords top, center, bottom, percentage and pixel values can be used as the y value.

Examples of property usage:

background-position: 50% 50%;
background-position: right bottom;
background-position: 50px 100px;
background-position: 0 100%;
background-position: left bottom;

This is how the code from the examples will work:

the picture will be centered;
bottom right corner;
indent 50px from the left edge and 100px from the top;
left bottom corner;
left bottom corner.
