I am having an issue with setting the background-image of a #x to the background image of #y.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think you would do this in a simple case by saying

$('#x').css('background-image',$('#y').css('background-image'));

The problem is that when y was initially set up, it was set up like this:

<div id='y' style='background-image: url(./randomcolor.php?ibase=<?php echo $entity->name; ?>) ....

So when it does it, it is getting the URL of the generator, and javascript is just regarding that as a string. Do I have to do an ajax get here, or is there some kind of eval I could use.
