How to assign a variable as value to a property

$(element).setStyle({
  background: 'url(/image.gif) no-repeat'       /*
Myproblem:
background: 'someVariable' */
});

The above code snippet assigns the value 'url(image.gif)
no-repeat' to
the property 'background'. I have a situation where in i am
getting
the value i.e image URL from the back-end dynamically and i
am able to
store it in a variable say 'someVariable'. Now what is the
syntax I
should follow to assign 'someVariable' to background. Please
help.

var bg = 'background: url(' + someVariable + ')
no-repeat;';
$(element).setStyle(bg);

that should do the trick.

Thanks for the reply.
The var bg is getting constructed correctly but $
(element).setStyle(bg); does not work.
Is there any particular way of accessing variables??
