Hi Allen,
Have a look at this <http://plnkr.co/edit/0kFL0jmawNCiN35R3Hzv?p=preview>plunk, it works as it should. you have used ng-style="{{organCover}}" this means that your expression is translated into the string {'background-image': \"url('http://localhost/dooleystand/ci/public/images/organs/2/profile_pic.jpg')\"} as documented ng-style needs an object, not a string. so this should work for you: <header class="orgWall" ng-style="organCover"></header> regards Sander -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
