Change BackgroundImage from CSS using JS

Question

I have a problem and don't know the solution. Here is my HTML

<div id="thumb">
</div>

CSS:

#thumb {
  width: 100%;
  position: relative;
  height: 557px;
  background-image: linear-gradient(
      rgba(252, 191, 73, 0.3),
      rgba(252, 191, 73, 0.3)
    ),
    url("../img/thumb.jpg");
  background-position: center;
  background-size: cover;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-attachment: fixed;
  text-align: center;
  color: #000;
}

JS:

var sliderGet = document.getElementById("thumb").style.backgroundImage;
  sliderGet = 'url("../img/thumb2.jpg")';

There is no way to change to thumb2.jpg using js...

try document.getElementById("thumb").style.backgroundImage = 'url("../img/thumb2.jpg")' — URL87

Imagine you did var x = 3; x = 5;. Would you expect 3 to change? — Scott Hunter

you might want to try this $('#thumb').css('background-image', 'url("../img/thumb2.jpg")'); .. you can put this on onCLick — Gelxxxx

You need to change it directly.

document.getElementById("thumb").style.backgroundImage = 'url("../img/thumb2.jpg")'
