Home / CSS3 Previews / Multiple Backgrounds with CSS3 CSS3 allows web designers to specify multiple background images for box elements, using nothing more than a simple comma-separated list.
Browser support for multiple backgrounds is relatively widespread with Mozilla Firefox (3.6+), Safari/Chrome (1.0/1.3+), Opera (10.5+) and even Internet Explorer (9.0+) all implementing the feature.
