I think he means load the image "in the background", not as a background image.

@inkedmn: Then he doesn't make any sense. All images are loaded in the background. (Unless he's asking to preload an image)

Answer 2

A:

In plain JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function loadBackgroundImage() {
    document.body.style.backgroundImage="url(background.jpg)";      
  }
</script>

HTML:

<body onload="loadBackgroundImage();">

In jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $("body").css("background-image","url(background.jpg)");  
  });
</script>
