Property Values
The following table describes the values of this property.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| top | Aligns the top edge of the background image with the top edge of the background position layer. |
| center | Aligns the vertical center of the background image with the vertical center of the background position layer. |
| bottom | Aligns the bottom edge of the background image with the bottom edge of the background position layer. |
| length | The offset of the given background image's horizontal edge from the corresponding background position layer's top horizontal edge. (Some browsers allow assigning the bottom edge for offset). |
| percentage | The offset of the given background image's vertical position relative to the container. A value of 0% means that the top edge of the background image is aligned with the top edge of the container, and a value of 100% means that the bottom edge of the background image is aligned with the bottom edge of the container, thus a value of 50% vertically centers the background image. |
| initial | Sets this property to its default value. |
| inherit | If specified, the associated element takes the computed value of its parent element animation-delay property. |
| revert | Reverts the cascaded value of the property from its current value to the value the property |
| revert-layer | Rollback styles to the ones specified in previous cascade layers. |
| unset | Resets a property to its inherited value if the property naturally inherits from its parent, and to its initial value if not. |
