Is there a way to set background image as an Element and not a Variable?

I am editing a landing page for a client and they are asking to be able to update background images the same way they update the other images - as dynamic content, able to pick from an admin panel of images.

Graham Lutz​ - not that will work with all email clients. It's actually quite tricky to make it work correctly. You'll see that there is some conditional code for various versions of Outlook. There are ways to do it as an Image element in a Landing Page, however.

This is going to be a landing page, not an email template. Do you know how to do it in a Landing Page?

Hi Graham,

Image elements generate <img> tags. while a background image is anything BUT and imag element with a backgound css property.

So the only way to do this with an image element, would be to use some JS to capture the image and use it at a background somewhere else.
