Is there a way to set background-image as a base64 encoded image?

I want to change background dynamically in JS and my set of images is in base64 encoded. I try:

document.getElementById("bg_image").style.backgroundImage = 
   "url('http://amigo.com/300107-2853.jpg')";

with perfect result,

yet I fail to do the same with:

document.getElementById("bg_image").style.backgroundImage = 
   "url('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAAAAAAyCAYAAAAUYybjAAAgAElE...')";

nor

document.getElementById("bg_image").style.backgroundImage = 
   "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAAAAAAyCAYAAAAUYybjAAAgAElE...";

Is there any way to do it?
