Setting div background image

Question

I have below div:

<div id="MyDiv" style="background-image: " + '@Url.Content("~/images/MyImave.gif")'></div>

and I am try to set the background image dynamically by performing:

$('#MyDiv').prop("background-image", '@Url.Content("~/images/ongoing.gif")');

but it is not working, no image is found...

Any ideas?

$('#MyDiv').css("background-image", '@Url.Content("~/images/ongoing.gif")');

.css() is used to set CSS properties in jQuery.

You can use .css() method here like:-

$('#MyDiv').css("background-image", '@Url.Content("~/images/ongoing.gif")');

as .css( propertyName, value ) is used to set one or more CSS properties for elements.

while .prop( propertyName, value ) is used to set one or more DOM properties for the elements like selectedIndex, tagName, nodeName, nodeType, etc.
