I'm trying to use jQuery to get the background image URL of a div but without any quotes.

So basically all I need is the URL/Path to the image.

I'm using the code bellow but this code gives me a URL like this:

http://somesite.com/images/apple.png

As you can see, it will place the URL between double quotes which is not what I want.

Here is the code:

var bg = $('.selected').css('background-image');

bg = bg.replace('url(','').replace(')','');



alert(bg);

could someone please advise on this issue?

Replacing with RegEx //g will give me what you want:

alert(

  'http://somesite.com/images/apple.png'

    .replace(//g, )

);
