I am looking to set a background image property on an <a> element.

Can’t set it in css because the image is pulled using something like this:

{article_assets:url}

Not sure how to specify this in the html template ( instead of css).  This works but i think there is a better way:

a href="{comment_url_title_auto_path}" style="background-image: url({article_assets:url})"

thx

The way you describe is best unless create your CSS as an EE template - then you can generate the BG image using the exp:channel:entries tag pair.
