backgroundImage

Description

Sets or retrieves the background image of an element.

Syntax

object.style.backgroundImage[ = URL]

Remarks

The URL identifies the image file. When setting a background image, it's a good idea to also set a background color to be used when the image is unavailable. When the image is available, it is overlaid on top of the background color.

The property has read/write permission.
