While considering the options available, there are three potential solutions:
1) Incorporate it directly into the HTML. To achieve this, modify <body> in your page to
<;body style="background-image: url(<url of image>); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover;">
.
This method may not be ideal as it involves extensive typing in multiple locations, increasing the risk of inconsistencies if adjustments need to be made, such as changing from 'no-repeat' to 'repeat-y' without updating all relevant pages.
2) Utilize a "mini-stylesheet" containing one rule defining the background on each page. This approach is also not recommended due to the issues outlined in option 1), plus the addition of another HTTP request which can slow down the page loading time.
3) Assign unique IDs to each body element (e.g., <body id="home">, <body id="about">). This option is considered optimal as it centralizes all code in one location:
body {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
body#home {
background-image: url(<home image url);
}
body#about {
background-image: url(<about image url);
}
The provided code can be placed in the stylesheet linked to all pages, eliminating extra HTTP requests. If a modification is required for a property or value pair related to the body, it can be efficiently altered in one place instead of searching through numerous files.
