I've looked at many other posts and I think I'm using the exact syntax suggested. However, I'm not getting the images to show up. I have a jsfiddle. Is it a jsfiddle issue? It's also not working on a website I'm working on.
<div id="divtest">Hello</div>
<img id="imgtest" />
<img id="imgreal" src="http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/12/free.jpeg" />
var string = "url('http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/wpcontent/uploads/2012/12/free.jpeg')";
alert(string)
document.getElementByID("divtest").style.backgroundImage = string;
document.getElementByID("imgtest").src = string;
