Is there a possibility to access a i.e "background-image:url()" property inside an inline "style" attribute?
In other words going layers "deeper" than attr('style') does.
I want to manipulate the url inside style="background-image:url(something);"
The easiest way to modify a CSS property on elements in a jQuery object, is the css function:
$("selector").css("background-image", "url(something)");
If you want to set several CSS properties in one go, there is an "overload" of the function that takes an object and uses each member of this object to override the related CSS property:
$("selector").css({
"background-image" : "url(something)",
"color" : "red"
});
If you need to read the current value of some CSS property, use another "overload" of css:
var backgroundImg = $("selector").css("background-image");
css() function with two parameters instead of an object saves characters ;)
You could use regular expressions to find the actual content of the url() 'function', but wouldn't it be easier just to use the following?
$('selector').css('background-image', 'url(something.png)');
I want to manipulate the url inside style="background-image:url(something);"
You would use that style for an element right?
$("selector").css('background-image', 'url(me.jpg)');
url() around the path.
