[Definition] The shorthand property that can be used to describe all the other properties in one line. [Description] Shorthand properties are very nifty indeed. Most developers use them to keep the CSS as lean as possible and group related properties. You can write a general rule using shorthand, and then override it as needed with specific properties. The properties should always be indicated in the same order, to allow browsers to easily interpret the intended styles: color url repeat attachment (very rarely used; may be omitted) horizontal-position vertical-position An example of this shorthand with all the properties used (except attachment) is as follows: background: green url(logo.gif) no-repeat left top; [Property]
