CSS Image-Background Hover not working in Chrome

[robertnealan@…]

When an anchor tag has a image background applied to it, attempting to swap it for another image on mouse hover results in no background when there's an underscore in a transparent png file (ex: ../images/fade_hover.png) in Google Chrome (Build 8.0.552.231). Removing the underscore from the file name resolves the issue.

$('a.toggle').hover(

function() { $(this).css("background-image", "url(../images/fade_hover.png)"); }, function() { $(this).css("background-image", "url(../images/fade.png)"); }

);

Scratch that last. Turns out it's an issue with the url path. Attempting to do a ../ to go up one folder is causing the problem, while putting in the full image url resolves the issue.

I assume you are the same person as the original reporter and that you request this ticket to be closed as it wasn't a jQuery bug.

If you didn't want this ticket to get closed please report back and demand the reopening of this ticket and also provide a reduced test case, which reproduces the issue you are experiencing, on  http://jsfiddle.net. So that we can investigate this issue further.

I forgot to add a final ) in the url path "url(../images/fade.png)", which causes the image to show in most browsers except for Chrome. Just adding ) at the end of the path did the trick for me.
