title: Jquery background image css change not working
body: <p>I am trying to change the background image of an element through jquery like this;</p>
  
  <pre><code>$j(this).css('background-image','url(images/client_box_grad.gif)');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However when it renders it seems to drop speech marks around the the url, eg</p>
  
  <pre><code>$j(this).css('background-image','url("images/client_box_grad.gif")');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this means the image isn't visible - if I remove the speech marks in Firebug then the image shows up.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas ?</p>
