replace backgrounf images on page with a new image

[toolman]

Hi,

I have some background images on the page, however, I want to replace them with a new background image using jQuery.

I have this, but it doesn't work:

$('td.my class').css('background-image','url(http://www.mywebsite.com/new-image.png)');

Any ideas what I have wrong?

Thanks

It looks like you have a space in your class name. The space actually causes the <td> tag to have two classes "my" and "class". Try removing the space.

Actually, the selector "td.my class" looks for an XML tag named <class> which is a child of a <td> element with a class of 'my'. Class attributes in HTML can be space-separated lists of class names, so as to assign multiple class names to an element.

Do you literally have <td class="my class"> in your HTML? If so, try querying $('td.my.class').
