I would like to do this in HTML:
<a href="http://host.com/cat.png">text</a>
and in CSS:
a {
background-image: url(attr(href));
}
It doesn't seem to work for me. Is it even possible?

Are you using jquery at all in your site? – Malkus Apr 12 '13 at 16:40

I'm just investigating for academic purposes. I'm trying to see if it can be achieved using pure CSS. – Kumar Apr 12 '13 at 16:42

Not possible in static CSS file. However you can have dynamically generated CSS by any server side language such as PHP.
