Hi all,

I'm creating a page that loads content from other pages using jQuery like this:

$('#newPage').load('example.html' + ' #pageContent', function() {
    loadComplete();         
});

That all works fine.

Now what I want to do is change the background image of the current page to the background image of the page I'm loading from.

This is what I'm doing now but I can't for the life of me get it to work:

$.get('example.html', function(data) {

    var pageHTML = $(data);
    var pageBody = pageHTML.$('body');
    alert(pageBody.attr("background"));

});

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks,
-Ben
