Backstretch Background Image Slider

A simple jQuery plugin that allows you to add a dynamically-resized, slideshow-capable background image to any page or element.

This demonstrates a commonly-asked question: how do I use Backstretch to create a slideshow of background images? Easy! Just pass in an array of image paths and add the below scripts within your opening <body> tag, preferrabily before the closing <body> tag.

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.backstretch.min.js"></script>
<script>
    $.backstretch([
      "path_to_image/image1.jpg",
      "path_to_image/image1.2pg",
      "path_to_image/image1.3pg"	//NOTE: The last element has NO comma
      ], {
        fade: 750,		//Speed of Fade
        duration: 4000 	//Time of image display
    });
</script>
