Can I get div's background-image url?

Solution 1:

I usually prefer .replace() to regular expressions when possible, since it's often easier to read: http://jsfiddle.net/mblase75/z2jKA/2

    $("div").click(function() {
        var bg = $(this).css('background-image');
        bg = bg.replace('url(','').replace(')','').replace(/\"/gi, "");
        alert(bg);
    });

Solution 2:

Yes, that's possible:

$("#id-of-button").click(function() {
    var bg_url = $('#div1').css('background-image');
    // ^ Either "none" or url("...urlhere..")
    bg_url = /^url\((['"]?)(.*)\1\)$/.exec(bg_url);
    bg_url = bg_url ? bg_url[2] : ""; // If matched, retrieve url, otherwise ""
    alert(bg_url);
});
