$(body).css({'background-image':'url'}) not working

Question

Shall I assume that I can't apply .css() to the body tag?

Because if I do it on $("#div")... it works?

Solution 1

$(document.body).css(...)

or

$('body').css(...)

Solution 2

how about

$("body").css("background-image","url('/my/image.jpg')");

For the confused: $(document.body).css('background-color', 'DDDCCC') - gives me -> .css is not a function in both Firebug and Dragonfly (Opera's console) on some sites. Because document.body must be returning a js object not a jquery one - I'm guessing it's because of frames but I stopped before getting to the bottom of it
