Since no-one else has replied, perhaps I may ask why you would want to
do this?

 I'm curious to know if anyone here have successfully applied 
 a background
 image to an IMG element through scripting?
 I can apply a background color but I can't make 
 style.backgroundImage
 work.

 Have you tried to set the image to block first? Also, just do

 obj.style.background = 'url(bla.gif) #fff no-repeat'
 instead of backgroundImage

Argh! I'm so stupid.
I was using an_image.gif' but the file name was: an_image.jpg
I'd checked the spelling of the file name *many, many* times, but totally
missed the extension.
It reminds me of the time when I used to write colour instead of
color... :-(
Duh!

Thanks.

document.getElementById('column1').style.backgroundImage=url('c1.jpg');

We usually don't use that method (haven't had a need to yet). We 
often

do similar tasks by changing classes.


That's what I do this with pure CSS solutions [1], but when JS is 
used I

just don't see a reason for binding the images to the stylesheet.

It depends on your purpose, your style, and your target audience - I 
imagine :-)
