How to Dynamically Change Background Images with jQuery on Image Click

In web development, creating interactive elements is crucial for enhancing user experience. One common task is to change the background image of a div based on which image is clicked. If you're struggling to achieve this functionality with jQuery, you've come to the right place! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set this up correctly.

Understanding the Problem

Breakdown of the Code

Event Listener: jQuery('.change-img').click(function() {...}) sets up an event listener for all images with the class change-img.

Get Image Source: const img = jQuery(this).attr("src"); retrieves the src attribute of the clicked image.

Set Background Image: jQuery('.change-me').css("background-image", "url('" + img + "')"); dynamically updates the background image of the div by formatting it correctly in the CSS syntax.

Adding Some Style

Don’t forget to style your images and the div for a better visual appeal. Here’s a simple CSS guideline:
