Question

I’m trying to change my body’s background dynamically in a jQuery window resize event.
The below is a simplified example that attempts to set the body background url property when the page loads, but its not the right syntax. Any ideas?

test.css:

body {
    margin: 0px auto;
    font-family: HelveticaNeue;
}

test.html’s JavaScript:

  $(document).ready(function() {
      $("body").css("background", "url('image/setme.png')");
  });

Answer 1

I’d try being explicit about the property:

$("body").css("background-image", "url('image/setme.png')");
