Javascript fade or crossfade background images

Question

Is it possible to fade in / crossfade background image?

If so, how ...

Thanks.

Answer 1

A great way to do these effects is with jQuery.

Please take a look at:
http://api.jquery.com/fadeOut/
http://api.jquery.com/fadeIn/

Sites are a good example of how everyone does it, just apply it to background images.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Not. The only way to complete the task is to create multiple objects or stack them with absolute positioning.

Answer 3

If you are not working in a container (etc.) that has a background image, no. You might want to consider changing the “cross-fading of the background of one element” to “changing the opacity of more than one container, each of which has its own background image,” which is a more realistic approach with JS.

Answer 4

I will be wary of guessing and go yes.
