JavaScript - Add url to string

Hi, i need to add the current url to a string, my problem is, i think
with the concatenating, i've tried different methods but nothing
works, so i guess it's more than that that i am doing wrong..

here's the code: (the line that needs current url is in red)

Code:

this.container = $(container);
		this.container.setStyles({
			position: 'relative',
			overflow: 'hidden',
			background: 'url(images/borders/photo_500.png)'

i found out that location.href=url will give the current url, so i tried:

Code:

background: 'url('+location.href=url+'images/borders/photo_500.png)'

with a number of variations, where am i going wrong?

Thanks
Shem
