div background image.

Ok this is driving me crazy, I'm on the dev server by the way if it matters. Sending a div in API with /w works great (not sure when they changed it long ago it didn't, but it works now) I'm trying to send one with an image as the BG and its not working Here is a test script as basic as I can give an example: It sends the div with an image as /direct and /w. the direct works BUT It also sends a div with color BG, and it works for both /direct AND /w on("chat:message", function (msg) { if(msg.type == "api" && msg.content.indexOf("!test") !== -1) { //---test image var image = "&lt;div style='background-image: url(<a href="http://tutorials-cdn.pixelmator.com/gradient-tool/top.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://tutorials-cdn.pixelmator.com/gradient-tool/top.jpg</a>); border: 1px solid #000; border-radius: 8px 8px 8px 8px;'&gt;TEST&lt;/div&gt;"; sendChat("test image direct", "/direct " + image); sendChat("test image whisper", "/w gm " + image); //---test color var color = "&lt;div style='background-color:#70D16D; border: 1px solid #000; border-radius: 8px 8px 8px 8px;'&gt;TEST&lt;/div&gt;"; sendChat("test color direct", "/direct " + color); sendChat("test color whisper", "/w gm " + color); }; }); This results is this, notice the second one using an image and /w results in it totally breaking: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/fXkgooH.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/fXkgooH.jpg</a> The only difference is I change background-color:#70D16D; to background-image: url( <a href="http://tutorials-cdn.pixelmator.com/gradient-tool/top.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://tutorials-cdn.pixelmator.com/gradient-tool/top.jpg</a> ); Is this a bug i should report in the bug section? or is being able to send partially working html at all with /w an 'unintended feature' and I should consider being able to do it at all a bonus? :)

The url should be quoted. Try either "&lt;div style='background-image: url(\'http://...\');&gt;TEST&lt;/div&gt;" or "&lt;div style='background-image: url(\"http://...\");&gt;TEST&lt;/div&gt;" and see if it works.

I tried that also :\ both do the same, just return the text and breaks the div. after playing with it it seems its the '//' in the address. I remove it and it of course does not show an image, but the div box shows up EDIT: I got it! it needed background-image: url(http:\\//tutorials-cdn.pixelmator.com/gradient-tool/top.jpg); adding the 2 \\ before the // fixed it :) weird how /w needs it, but all other sendChat types dont :|
