I've been attempting to modify the background of a div in HTML using JS and CSS. Below is the code I've tried, but it doesn't seem to be working as expected.
function changeBackground(previewPic)
{
var imgUrl = previewPic.src;
console.log(imgUrl);
x = document.getElementById('image');
document.getElementById('1').style.backgroundImage = previewPic.src;
}body{
margin: 2%;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #b3b3b3;
}
.image{
line-height:650px;
width: 575px;
height: 650px;
border:5px solid black;
margin:0 auto;
background-color: #8e68ff;
background-image: url('');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
color:#FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
background-size: 100%;
margin-bottom:25px;
font-size: 150%;
}
.preview{
width:10%;
margin-left:17%;
border: 10px solid black;
}
img{
width:95%;

</html>This function retrieves the image source URL and stores it in the 'imgUrl' variable. However, despite logging the URL correctly, the background update is not functioning as intended.
