How do I change the image of every article?

I’ve got a site that basically has The following code in the page template:

<div id=“header” class=”<txp:section />”>
<h2><txp:section /></h2>
</div><!— End Header —>
<div id=“main”>
<txp:if_section name=“comma,separated,name,list”>
<txp:article limit=“1” />
</txp:if_section>
</div><!— End Main —>

and using this method, I can set my css to load a particular background image into the header div for each section. Works like a charm on all the different sections, but now my boss wants me to change the image for each different article. I’ve got image url’s in their respective article_image fields, but I can’t put article tags like <txp:article_image /> in the Page Template. I feel like I’m just on the cusp of being able to make this work, but hoping that I could get some assistance on structuring this properly. Thanks!

You could try something like this:

<div id=“header” class=”<txp:section />”>
<h2><txp:section /></h2>
</div><!— End Header —>
<div id=“main”>
<txp:if_section name=“comma,separated,name,list”>
<txp:article limit=“1” />
<txp:article limit=“1”><txp:article_image /></txp:article> <!-- can place anywhere in the template you'd like -->
</txp:if_section>
</div><!— End Main —>
