Mutiple quotation marks in HTML / Javascript

Question

Sorry for the stupid question. I tried looking for an answer somewhere, but couldn't find any. I can't get this code to work:

<div onmouseover="this.style.backgroundImage = 'url('#')'";>
</div>

Help?

I'm trying to make the div change to a different background on mouseover. The # is not the actual link for the picture. — ifdyourgoats, Apr 02 '17 at 17:01
In case of url you need not use the string quotes for the url try `

Escape single quotes:

<div onmouseover="this.style.backgroundImage = 'url(\'#\')'">
</div>
