<h2> MyTitle </h2>

I need to put a background-image to MyTitle text but only to MyTitle text.

I dont want any background in the <h2></h2> element.

Is there a way to do that in css?

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<title>MyTitle</title>
<style>
  head { display: block; }
  title { display: inline; background: lime; }
</style>

This is an example with a simple background color, but of course you could use background-image as well.

Edit now that OP mentioned he meant a heading (e.g. <h1>) and not a <title>:

The key is to use display: inline or display: inline-block.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<title>Test</title>
<style>
  h1 { display: inline; background: lime; }
</style>
<h1>Test</h1>
<p>Some content.

Again, this is an example with a simple background color, but of course you could use background-image as well.
