jQuery - css(background-image, variable) doesn't work :(

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 15350 / 13 Years ago, wed, march 23, 2011, 12:00:00

I'm trying to save the background-image of a element, remove it and then maybe add it back later.

var current_bg_image = $(#div).css(background-image);

if(something){

  $(#div).css(background-image, none);

}else{

  $(#div).css(background-image, current_bg_image); // not working...

}

The part where the background image is supposed to be added back doesn't work...
But if I change current_bg_image with url(something.jpg) it works. It seems that css() doesn't work with variables?

Your code works fine for me using jQuery 1.5.1. I believe what you will get once saving the background-image value to current_bg_image is the full path to the image, so try reading that value using Firebug or alert(current_bg_image) and ensure it is what you think it should be.
