How to set the image src using jQuery

June 9, 2023 by Tarik

IMO, slice is more appropriate than substring or replace. Try this:

jQuery("#imageID").attr(
    'src',
    jQuery("#imageBlock").css('background-image').slice(4,-1)
);

Here, you’re slicing the string in between url( and ). See MDC on slice for a detailed description of the method.
