background-attachment

Controls whether a background image stays fixed in place or scrolls along with the content. 'fixed' is often used to create a simple parallax-like effect where the page content slides over a static image.

It is documented as part of the CSS Backgrounds and Borders specification.

/* Usage Example */
.parallax-section {
  background-image: url(';stars.jpg');
  /* Image stays put while the user scrolls */
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-size: cover;
}

/* Global values */
background-attachment: inherit;
background-attachment: initial;
background-attachment: revert;
background-attachment: revert-layer;
background-attachment: unset;
