> background: transparent url(filename).
This is a shorthand method for writing CSS rules. This rule has
multiple values, that are space-separated. The first value sets the
background color to transparent; the second value is the server path or
URL where the browser can find the image.
The same rule can also be expressed like this:
.class-name {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url(/path/to/images/filename.png);
}
Again, specifying these background attributes in one rule is just a
shortcut.
Another example:
/* shorthand */
.class-name {
background: url(/path/to/images/filename.png) repeat-x top;
}
/* longhand */
.class-name {
background-image: url(/path/to/images/filename.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: top;
}
Hope that makes sense. More info is in the CSS [2.1] spec:
