<div data-fill-with="at-risk">
<p>The following features are at-risk, and may be dropped during the CR period: </p>
<ul>
<li>animatability of <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-box-shadow" id="ref-for-propdef-box-shadow">box-shadow</a>
</ul>
<p>“At-risk” is a W3C Process term-of-art, and does not necessarily imply that the feature is in danger of being dropped or delayed. It means that the WG believes the feature may have difficulty being interoperably implemented in a timely manner, and marking it as such allows the WG to drop the feature if necessary when transitioning to the Proposed Rec stage, without having to publish a new Candidate Rec without the feature first.</p>

<p><em>This subsection is not normative.</em> </p>
<p>When elements are rendered according to the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html">CSS box model</a> <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css2">[CSS2]</a>,
each element is either not displayed at all, or formatted as one
or more rectangular boxes. Each box has a rectangular content
area, a band of padding around the content, a border around the
padding, and a margin outside the border. (The margin may actually be
negative, but margins have no influence on the background and border.) </p>
<div class="figure">
<p><img alt="Diagram of a typical box, showing the
content, padding, border and margin areas" src="images/box.png"> </p>
<p class="caption">The various areas and edges of a typical box.
(This diagram is explained in the CSS2.1 Box Model chapter <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css2">[CSS2]</a>.) </p>
</div>
<p>The properties of this module deal with the decoration of the border
area and with the background of the content, padding and border areas.
Additionally the box may be given a "drop-shadow" effect with the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-box-shadow" id="ref-for-propdef-box-shadow①">box-shadow</a> property. </p>
<p>If an element is broken into multiple boxes, <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-break/#propdef-box-decoration-break" id="ref-for-propdef-box-decoration-break">box-decoration-break</a> <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3-break">[CSS3-BREAK]</a> defines how the borders and background are divided over the various boxes.
(An element can result in more than one box if it is broken at the
end of a line, at the end of a column or at the end of a page; and
continued in the next line, column or page.) </p>
<p>The relative stacking order of backgrounds, borders, and shadows
is given in this module. For how these layers interact with other
rendered content, see Appendix E “Elaborate description of Stacking
Contexts” in <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css2">[CSS2]</a>. </p>
<h2 class="heading settled" data-level="2" id="values"><span class="secno">2. </span><span class="content"> Values and Interactions</span><a class="self-link" href="#values"></a></h2>
<p>This specification follows the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/about.html#property-defs">CSS property definition conventions</a> from <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css2">[CSS2]</a>.
Value types not defined in this specification are defined in CSS Values & Units <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-values-3">[CSS-VALUES-3]</a>.
Other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types.</p>
<p>In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
all properties defined in this specification
also accept the <a data-link-type="dfn" href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#css-wide-keywords" id="ref-for-css-wide-keywords">CSS-wide keywords</a> keywords as their property value.
For readability they have not been repeated explicitly.</p>

<p>This module replaces and extends the background and border
features defined in <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css2">[CSS2]</a> sections 8.5 and 14.2. </p>
<p>All properties in this module apply to the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#first-letter"><code>::first-letter</code></a> pseudo-element. The <a href="#backgrounds">background properties</a> and <a href="#corners">border-radius properties</a> also apply to the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#first-line-pseudo"><code>::first-line</code></a> pseudo-element. The UA may (but is not required to) apply the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-border-image" id="ref-for-propdef-border-image">border-image</a> or <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-box-shadow" id="ref-for-propdef-box-shadow②">box-shadow</a> properties to <code>::first-line</code>. The UA must not apply the <a href="#borders">border-color/style/width properties</a> to <code>::first-line</code>. <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css2">[CSS2]</a> </p>

specification as <code class="prod"><a class="production css" data-link-type="type" href="#typedef-image" id="ref-for-typedef-image①"><image></a> = <a class="production css" data-link-type="type" href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html#value-def-uri" id="ref-for-value-def-uri"><uri></a></code>. Other value types are defined in
CSS Level 2 Revision 1 <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css2">[CSS2]</a>.
Other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types: for
example <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3color">[CSS3COLOR]</a>, when combined with this module, expands the

Similarly, <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3-images">[CSS3-IMAGES]</a>, when combined with this module,
expands the definition of <a class="production css" data-link-type="type" href="#typedef-image" id="ref-for-typedef-image②"><image></a> as used in this specification. </p>
<p>In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
all properties defined in this specification also accept the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/cascade.html#value-def-inherit">inherit</a> keyword as their property value. For readability it has not been repeated
explicitly. </p>
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level="2.3" id="animations"><span class="secno">2.3. </span><span class="content">Animated Values</span><a class="self-link" href="#animations"></a></h3>
<p> It is expected that CSS will include ways to
animate transitions between styles. (The
section <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-transitions/#animatable-types">“Animation of property types”</a> of the <cite>CSS Transitions
module</cite> <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3-transitions">[CSS3-TRANSITIONS]</a> is expected to define how different
kinds of values are interpolated during a transition.) In anticipation
of that, this module includes a line “Animatable” for each property,
which specifies whether and how values of the property can be animated. </p>
<h2 class="heading settled" data-level="3" id="backgrounds"><span class="secno">3. </span><span class="content"> Backgrounds</span><a class="self-link" href="#backgrounds"></a></h2>
<p>Each box has a background layer that may be fully transparent (the
default), or filled with a color and/or one or more images. The background
properties specify what color (<a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-color" id="ref-for-propdef-background-color">background-color</a>)
and images (<a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-image" id="ref-for-propdef-background-image">background-image</a>)
E95C
to use,
and how they are sized, positioned, tiled, etc. </p>
<p>The background properties are not inherited, but the parent box’s
background will shine through by default because of the initial <span class="css">transparent</span> value on <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-color" id="ref-for-propdef-background-color①">background-color</a>. </p>
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level="3.1" id="layering"><span class="secno">3.1. </span><span class="content"> Layering Multiple Background Images</span><a class="self-link" href="#layering"></a></h3>
<p>The background of a box can have multiple <span class="index">layers</span> in CSS3. The number
of layers is determined by the number of comma-separated values in the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-image" id="ref-for-propdef-background-image①">background-image</a> property. Note that a value of <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#valdef-background-image-none" id="ref-for-valdef-background-image-none">none</a> still creates
a layer. </p>
<p>Each of the images is sized, positioned, and tiled according to
the corresponding value in the other background properties. The lists
are matched up from the first value: excess values at the end are not
used. If a property doesn’t have enough comma-separated values to match
the number of layers, the <span>UA</span> must calculate its used
value by repeating
the list of values until there are enough. </p>
<div class="example" id="example-319a391f">
<a class="self-link" href="#example-319a391f"></a>
<p>For example, this set of declarations: </p>
<pre>background-image: url(flower.png), url(ball.png), url(grass.png);
background-position: center center, 20% 80%, top left, bottom right;
background-origin: border-box, content-box;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
</pre>
<p>has exactly the same effect as this set with the extra position
dropped and the missing values for <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-origin" id="ref-for-propdef-background-origin">background-origin</a> and <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-repeat" id="ref-for-propdef-background-repeat">background-repeat</a> filled in (emphasized for clarity): </p>
<pre>background-image: url(flower.png), url(ball.png), url(grass1.png);
background-position: center center, 20% 80%, top left;
background-origin: border-box, content-box<strong>, border-box</strong>;
background-repeat: no-repeat<strong>, no-repeat, no-repeat</strong>;
</pre>
</div>
<p>The first image in the list is the layer closest to the user,
the next one is painted behind the first, and so on. The background
color, if present, is painted below all of the other layers. </p>
<p class="note" role="note">Note that the <a href="#border-images">border-image properties</a> can also define a background image, which, if present, is painted on top of
the background created by the background properties. </p>

<p>A value of <dfn class="dfn-paneled css" data-dfn-for="background-image" data-dfn-type="value" data-export="" id="valdef-background-image-none">none</dfn> counts as an image layer but draws
nothing. An image that is empty (zero width or zero height), that
fails to download, or that cannot be displayed (e.g., because it is
not in a supported image format) likewise counts as a layer but
draws nothing. </p>
<p>See the section <a href="#layering">“Layering multiple background
images”</a> for how <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-image" id="ref-for-propdef-background-image③">background-image</a> interacts with other
comma-separated background properties to form each background image
layer. </p>
<p>When setting a background image, authors should also specify a <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-background-color" id="ref-for-propdef-background-color③">background-color</a> that will preserve contrast with the text for
when the image is unavailable. </p>
<p>For accessibility reasons, authors should not use background images
as the sole method of conveying important information.
See <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/F3">Web
Content Accessibility Guideline F3</a> <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-wcag20">[WCAG20]</a>. Images are not
accessible in non-graphical presentations, and background images
specifically might be turned off in high-contrast display modes. </p>
<p class="note" role="note">Note that stylistic foreground images can be provided
in CSS with the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/generate.html#content">content</a> property. (Semantically-important foreground images should be provided

if the element has a scrolling mechanism,
the background scrolls with the element’s contents,

</dl>
<p>Even if the image is fixed, it is still only visible when it is in
the <em class="index">background painting area</em> of the element or otherwise
unclipped. (See <a href="#special-backgrounds"> “The backgrounds of

The <a class="production css" data-link-type="type" href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#typedef-length-percentage" id="ref-for-typedef-length-percentage⑦"><length-percentage></a> values here represent an offset of the top left corner
