    Hi,
    I’m trying to use an image name as a post custom value (e.g img1.jpg) for a page and want to pass it as an array variable to a JavaScript function, to replace the background image set in the stylesheet but it doesn’t seem to be working.

    Here’s my code (in the header.php):

    <script type="text/javascript">

function changeBackground(whichImage) {
if(document.body){
document.body.style.backgroundImage = "url(whichImage)";
}
</script>
</head>

<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("bgimage") ?>
<body onLoad="changeBackground($values[0])">
</body>
</html>

    It could be something really obvious but I’m missing it.
    Help!!
