html5 canvas background.src,html - Background image javascript HTML5 canvas - Stack Overflow

I'm trying to create a simple game using javascript to run on a simple webpage. For some reason, I can't get it to load a background image. I've searched repeatedly and tried numerous ways but I ended up with a black-white canvas. Please, help me as I'm at my wits end.

Here's my code snippet:

• Play Game

var canvas = document.getElementById("gameCanvas");

var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

var bkGround = new Image();

bgImage.src = '/images/backGround.jpg';

bkGround.onload = function(){

ctx.drawImage(bkGround,69,50);

}​

Anticipated thanks.
