Creates a checkerboard background pattern.
|
|
|
|
- Use `background-color` to set a white background.
|
|
- Use `background-image` with two `linear-gradient()` values, each one with a different angle to create the checkerboard pattern.
|
|
- Use `background-size` to specify the pattern's size.
|
|
- **Note:** The fixed `height` and `width` of the element is for demonstration purposes only.
