How to change background images on scroll with CSS?
One interesting thing about designing a page is that we can add our innovation to make the web page more beautiful and attractive. We just need to add some CSS properties.
In this tutorial, we are going to change the background image of the webpage on scroll without changing the foreground contents.
Changing background image on scroll
Add multiple empty <div> element on the web page. To each div add a background-image property.
Add background-size, background-position and background-repeat properties to the background image.
Set the height of each <div> element. Add some text in the foreground and add position:fixed to it. Use other properties like font-size padding, width, etc to customize.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML</title>
<style>
body, html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.bg {
height: 50%;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
