Change CSS Background Image Via jQuery Not working

I am working with the following code and cannot seem to figure out why it is not working. My goal is to change the background image of the .featured-artist class based on the click of one of the 6 images on the right.

    $('a').click(function(){

        scrollTop: $( $(this).attr('href') ).offset().top
    }, 500);
    return false;
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

JQUERY

<script>
    $('.artist-photo img').click(function(){
  var images = $('.artist-photo img').attr('src');
    $('.featured-artist').css('background-image','url('+images+')');
});
</script>

CSS

.featured-artist {
    background-image: url('http://michaelfroseth.com/clients/postedprints/html/img/ER 8 (original) copy.png');
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    padding-left: 0px;
    padding-right: 0px;
}

Does anyone have a working jsfiddle that uses a similar function that I can study?

I see 2 problems with your script;

  • You're assigning multiple values to your images variable
  • You're missing quotes around your background-image url

Try this

<script>
$(".artist-photo img").click(function(){
var images = $(this).attr('src');
$(".featured-artist").css("background-image","url('"+images+"')");
});
</script>
