It sets 'background-color' to "transparent" - no background color. Of
course: that is the default, but I usually declare it when using the
shorthand property 'background'. It's a "personal preference" thing.
It is especially important to have a "transparent" background when that
type of image-replacement is used. The background-color will otherwise
cover the text, and make the entire image-replacement useless if/when
images are not supported but CSS is.

Have to see the actual case to be sure what happened, but seen isolated
the 'background-image' property should work.
See:

...for details.
