Setting background-image using jQuery CSS property

Question

I have an image URL in a imageUrl variable and I am trying to set it as CSS style, using jQuery:

$(\'myObject\').css(\'background-image\', image         


        

Answer 1

You'll want to include double quotes (") before and after the imageUrl like this:

$('myOjbect').css('background-image', 'url("' + imageUrl + '")');

This way, if the image has spaces it will still be set as a property.
