How to???

Okay. I’m trying to dynamically modify the pages CSS styling, and change the background image. Here’s what I was told to try.
<body id=”id_name”>

and the script…

document.getElementById(“id_name”).style.backgroundImage=”name.jpg”;
or,
document.body.style.backgroundImage=”name.jpg”;

Neither one works. How can I modify the background image with Javascript through changing the style?

document.body.style.backgroundImage = "url(name.jpg)"

@mjdamatoNov 13.2006 — When specifying a file in CSS it needs to be set using that format. The "url" can be a proper url to an external file or a relative url to the file within the current directory.
