How to set the image src using jQuery

Question

I am trying to change the image src attribute using jQuery

jQuery(\"#imageID\").attr(\'src\',\'http://localhost:8080/images/1/myImage.png\' );

Answer 1

It's because the url() string is wrapped around it. You'll need to strip it from the string, for example using the replace function...

var bgimg = jQuery("#imageBlock").css('background-image').replace('url(', '');
bgimg.replace(')', '');
