Philip,
Try the following......
document.body.background = 'image.jpg'
The will change the background property within your <body> tag. It will NOT
change a BODY style sheet background-image attribute because of the url
attribute I presume. If you want to see the attribute from a style sheet
you can give the body tag an ID and reference it by
document.all.IDname.style.backgroundImage (in IE only) but you can not
modify it.
Hope this helps.
Mark.
