changing the barckground image

[Jean Pierre Daviau]

Hi ,
a simple one,

document.body.background = document.getElementById('item').value

document.getElementById('item').value (an input text) return
the right value for the image.
Why the background is not changed?

Thanks for your attention.

Hi , Re: changing

A simple what?
document.body.background = document.getElementById('item').value
This is the code for an Image:

document.body.style.backgroundImage = url("....")
document.getElementById('item').value (an input text)
A background image must be an image (.jpg, .gif, .bmp, etc)
return the right value for the image.
Do not understand.
Why the background is not changed?

That's why.
