You can overlay an image over a background using CSS by using the position property and the ::before or ::after pseudo-elements. Here's a basic example:
.container {
position: relative;
}
.container::before {
content: "";
background: url('background-image.jpg');
background-size: cover;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
opacity: 0.5; /* Adjust the opacity as needed */
z-index: -1; /* Place the overlay behind the content */
}
In this example, the ::before pseudo-element is used to create the overlay. Adjust the background property with the path to your background image, and you can also adjust the opacity to control the overlay's transparency.
Make sure to adjust the paths to your actual image files, and customize the styles to match your design.
You can use a
.overlay { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 1; }
