Get URL from background-image Property

Question

i am currently using this to get the url from the background-image property:

var url = $(this).find(\'div\').css(\'background-image\');
url = url.substr(4, u         


        

Answer 1

You could do:

url = url.replace(/^url\(["']?/, '').replace(/["']?\)$/, '');

This will remove url(' and url(" from the beginning of the string if it is present and ") resp. ') from the end.
