26,548 PointsThe background-size value 'cover' doesn't work if I write it in shorthand way.
If I write it like below
background: url('../img/mountains.jpg') center no-repeat #ffa949 cover;
The image just disappeared, and when I inspect it in Chrome Dev Tool, it shows a yellow exclamation mark icon.
and it works good if I change it to
background: url('../img/mountains.jpg') center no-repeat #ffa949;
background-size:cover;
I just wonder if the background-size is the only property which can not be used in a shorthand way.

26,548 PointsSorry guys, I missed something from the video, so silly. It should be:
background: #ffa949 url('../img/mountains.jpg') no-repeat center /cover;
But still weird, why do we need a / to separate it.
