[jQuery] Re: Can I use css to set background image dynamically

[Karl Swedberg]

not sure what var image = $(".fullst").eq(i).html(); returns, but the  
'backgroundImage' (or 'background-image'; either one is fine) value  
should look something like 'url(path/to/image.jpg)'

It should work. What end up in "image"? It should be a URL (relative

I am trying to use css("background-image",image) but it does not set
the image as background. What am I doing wrong. here is the code.

function changeit(imgnum){
 $(".story").each(function(i){
    var item = $(".story").eq(i);
        var image = $(".fullst").eq(i).html();

    if ( item != "") {
        if(i != imagenum){
                $(item).fadeOut("slow");
        }
        else{
                $(item).css("background-image",image).fadeIn 
("slow");
        }
  }
 });
