How to change background image and it's properties with javascript

Question

How can I change not only background image but also set additional properties?

Meaning, I have this code, that works fine:

document.getElementById(id).style.backgroundImage = "url('image.png')";

But this fails:

document.getElementById(id).style.backgroundImage = "url('image.png') no-repeat center center";

How can I add the additional properties to it?

Thanks in advance.

I think you just need to change style.background properly if you want to set all values at once look here at the bottom w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp — philipp

the additional properties are part of a short cut in CSS, which are applied using the background property so your js should be

document.getElementById(id).style.background = "url('image.png') no-repeat center center";

document.getElementById("div3").style.backgroundPosition = "20% 50%"; - for position

document.getElementById("div3").style.backgroundRepeat = "repeat-y"; - for repeat

This will work for you
