Answer 2

+3 A:

I think you need to use

css("background-image", "url(login-bg.gif)");
css("background-position", "3em center");
css("background-repeat", "no-repeat");

OR rather

css( { "background-image"    : "url(login-bg.gif)",
       "background-position" : "3em center", 
       "background-repeat"   : "no-repeat"
     }
);

First sentence on the docs page

"Shorthand CSS properties (e.g. margin, background, border) are not supported."

ALSO the path to the image should not be quoted.

Answer 3

+1 A:

I tested the below code in both FF 3.5.7 and IE 7 and it seems to work. Sure you check already...but typo somewhere?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt;

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;

    <head>
        <title>Test</title>

        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.0/jquery.min.js" /></script>

        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function() {
                $('#login').css('background', "url('login-bg.gif') 3em center no-repeat");
                $('#password').css('background', "url('password-bg.gif') 3em center no-repeat");
            });
        </script>
    </head>

    <body style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 0.8em; margin: 3em; background-color: #f1f1f1;">

    <div><input id="login" type="text" /></div>

    <br />

    <div><input id="password" type="text" /></div>

    </body>

</html>

Answer 4

+1 A:

Make sure the image paths are right
Remove the single quotes inside the CSS url style, i.e. url(login-bg.gif)
