XF 1.2 Background CSS

[Amaury]

Sometimes I see background-color: red; sometimes I see background: red. However, they both work and take care of the same thing, so is there a noticeable different between the two?

I should add that I've always used just background.

Thanks, Paul!

Looks like using just background is the best choice, then, because it reduces clutter!

Edit: At least when using multiple things, anyway.

@Brogan, so is it the same case when it comes to border: red vs. border-color: red?

It is the same with all those things. Basically Border, Background, etc. are just summaries of the different subproperties. So border consists out of border-color, border-bottom/left/right/top, border-style and many more, where as the different borders (top, etc) are also just summaries of their subproperties. You can but don't have to fill in every single attribute of that propertie, that is basically the use of those things. Normally it is not required to use such things, only when it comes to specific things like margin-bottom, even though you could set "margin: top right left bottom;" or margin: "top&bottom left&right".
