Why do you what it to be done in javascript?

Solution 1

jQuery:

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("body").css({"background" : "url('image.png')"});
})

Javascript:

JavaScript

document.body.style.backgroundImage = "url('image.png')";

But, better use a CSS:

CSS

body{
    background-image: url('image.png');
}

Both the option will load the image whenever your page load

Solution 1 answers your question quite nicely, but this may help you in your goal of creating an image slider.

From your comments, you mention you want to make a javascript image slider of some sorts.

Firstly google is your friend so use it wisely.

Performing search using key terms:

javascript non-jQuery:

Or search the CodeProject articles section

Here are some additional links which may also help clarify
What is the difference between JavaScript and jQuery? [^]
jQuery .ready() [^]
jQuery css [^]
