javascript - 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', imageUrl);

This seems to be not working, as:

console.log($('myObject').css('background-image'));

returns none.

Any idea, what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

You probably want this (to make it like a normal CSS background-image declaration):

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