Question

Is it possible to set the src attribute value in CSS? At present, what I am doing is:

Answer 1

Use content:url("image.jpg").

Full working solution (Live Demo):

Tested and working:

• Chrome 14.0.835.163
• Safari 4.0.5
• Opera 10.6

Tested and Not working:

• FireFox 40.0.2 (observing Developer Network Tools, you can see that the URL loads, but the image is not displayed)
• Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17905 (URL never loads)
