Can we give margin to background image only?

Question

Plz explain

Answer 1

Your question is a bit vague but if you want content over a background image with margin only for the background image, then you have several possibilities, and to name 2 :
- 2 different elements (like 2 <div>'s for your content and your background image, put a z-index of -1 in the CSS of your image
- also 2 different elements, put an "absolute" position in your image CSS
Then you're free to style the margin of your image without modifying the content over it.

Answer 2

Background images are default tiled (repeated along both vertical and vertical axis), so the only "real" way (appart tricky solutions as those specified by Nicolas Bonnet) to set "margin" would be to set specific 'background-repeat:no-repeat', 'background-position', and 'background-size' css properties to the element having the 'background-image' to be "marged"...

You could also look at 'background-clip' css property... which could be set to the special value 'content-box' (background zone not covered by 'padding' of the element (if margin wanted for background image correspond to padding of content).
