Changing Background image in tables

2 New Member
Hi All,
I am relatively new to this game and I am running up against a problem trying to change the background image in my table. The idea is that when you click on the link, the javascript will change the table background.

The table code looks like this

<table id="tableVert"
style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left; width: 100%; height: 500px; background-image: url();"
border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >

The link

<a class="Ilinks"
href="javascrip t:chgImageV('im ages/05d-Bell solo pluie.jpg')">Be ll-
Pluie</a><br>

finally the function

function chgImageV(v){
document.getEle mentById('table Vert').style.ba ckgroundImage=" url("v")"
}

As you can see, I am trying to get the image name to fit in where the 'v' is in the function.

What am I doing wrong.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome to TSDN.

Try:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. function chgImageV(v){
  2. document.getElementById('tableVert').style.backgroundImage="url('"+v+"')";
  3. }

Acoder,

I tried that solution and it works perfectly. I knew it was a matter of misplaced characters but couldn't figure out what went where. My day has started off well because of you answer.

Cheers.

Hi, I know how to use javascript to change a background image to another background image, and how to change a background colour to another background colour. Is there a way to change an image to a backgound colour? I have a table with a background that has a picture. When the user hovers over the picture I want the background to change to the background colour of the rest of the page, as if to make the picture disappear.

HTML validators say that "background" is not a valid attribute for a <td> tag I want to set an image as the background for one cell only, and to have the cell content on top of it. If I can't use <td background="img src=.."></td>, what is the correct method? Some modern templates do it all with CSS, but that is getting a bit too deep for my inexperience.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
