Jquery: how to get length of background-image style attribute?

Question

I need to get the length of an inline style background-image source, eg:

<div id="imageholder" style="background-image: url(image.jpg)">

Length would be 9

I have tried:

$('#imageholder').css('background-image').length;

But I cant seem to get it working.

Would anyone know the proper way of getting this length?

The length of the string...? Why do you need this? Also, it's `.length`, not `.lenght`. — Rory McCrossan, Jul 10 '14 at 08:00

You need to use:

$('#imageholder').css('background-image').replace('url(','').replace(')','').length;

Finally one who notice that `url()` would be returned too! – GillesC Jul 10 '14 at 08:03
Wouldn't `$('#imageholder').css('background-image').length - 5` be easier...? – JJJ Jul 10 '14 at 08:09
