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

Don't forget that the jQuery css function allows objects to be passed which allows you to set multiple items at the same time. The answered code would then look like this:

$(this).css({'background-image':'url(' + imageUrl + ')'})
