How to Have a Non-Repeating Backdrop in CSS
CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, can be used to create a variety of backdrops on a website. You can create color or image backdrops. When using image backdrops it is a good idea to know how to make them non-repeating. If not, your image will repeat in a given space and alter the intended look of your website or page. Using a few basic tools and some minor code editing, you can ensure your backdrops are non-repeating.

Tips & Warnings
You can also add the attribute "background-repeat: no-repeat;" to any style already containing a background image.
Color backdrops do not need a "no-repeat" attribute. They will simply fill the element with the color, whatever the size.
