How to make HTML/CSS slideshow background fade?
I was wondering how you make a background slideshow fade into other photos like a regular slideshow. I've tried many codes and have yet to be successful.
Now, I have a code to make the background change to different photos which works well, but it doesn't fade. Is there anyway to add this?
Here is the code
<html>
<head>
<style>
body{
/*Remove below line to make bgimage NOT fixed*/
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
/*Use center center in place of 300 200 to center bg image*/
background-position: 0 0; background-
}
</style>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">

//Specify background images to slide
var bgslides=new Array()
bgslides[0]="http://i892.photobucket.c…
bgslides[1]="http://i892.photobucket.c…
bgslides[2]="http://i892.photobucket.c…
//Specify interval between slide (in miliseconds)
var speed=2000
//preload images
var processed=new Array()
for (i=0;i<bgslides.length;i++){
processed[i]=new Image()
processed[i].src=bgslides[i]
}
var inc=-1
function slideback(){
if (inc<bgslides.length-1)
inc++
else
inc=0
document.body.background=processed[inc…
}
if (document.all||document.getElementById)
window.onload=new Function('setInterval("slideback()",spee…
</script>
</head>
</html>
If you have any suggestions please let me know. Also, I am not the greatest at coding and don't have a clue about JavaScript, so please explain what to do.

Use this code instead: (note that you'll need to load jQuery in order for this code to work)
HTML
<div class="fadein">
<img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8359/8450229021_9d660578b4_n.jpg">

</div>
CSS
.fadein {
position:relative;
height:320px;
width:320px;
}
.fadein img {
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
}
JavaScript
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('.fadein img:gt(0)').hide();
setInterval(function () {
$('.fadein :first-child').fadeOut()
.next('img')
.fadeIn()
.end()
.appendTo('.fadein');
}, 4000); // 4 seconds
});
</script>
