I'm facing an issue with my unordered list, where each list item contains a span element with an image inside. My goal is to set the background-image of each span to be the same as the image it contains, while also setting the opacity of the image to 0.
Despite writing some code to achieve this, it doesn't seem to be working as expected. Even when I comment out the line that sets the background image, the images are still visible. This leads me to believe that there's an error in how the background image is being applied.
Could someone please help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!
var myUl = $('.my-ul');
[...myUl.children].forEach(childLi => {
const span_list = childLi.querySelector('span');
const img_list = childLi.querySelector('img');
var path_picture = img_list.src;
$(span_list).css("background-image", "url(${path_picture})");
$(span_list).css("background-size", "contain");
img_list.style.opacity = 0;
}); .my-ul li span {
display: block;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
.my-ul li img {
width: 100%;
