I am trying to use j-query to fade in my pages body upon load, however for some reason the body's background image is not being affected by the j-query. Please see the code I have below:
J-Query Code in head section:
<script src=".10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('body').fadeIn(2000);
});
</script>
CSS Code:
body
{
overflow:hidden;
background:url('body.png') no-repeat;
background-size:100%;
display:none;
}
Everything contained within the body (div's / paragraphs / headings etc) fade in on load as per the j-query code, however the body's background image (body.png) loads instantly with the page. Please can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong with the above code?

Reset to default 9body behaves funny. You would need to wrap the contents of the entire page in another div and fade that in.
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
# Page Contents #
</div>
</body>
CSS:
#wrapper{
background-image:url('some-image.jpg');
display:none;
}
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#wrapper').fadeIn();
});
See this JSFiddle.
Like the @ITFarmer wait, you can do it in CSS3, but you could probably also animate the background-image with CSS3 too.
@keyframes fadein {
from {
opacity: 0;
}
to {
opacity: 1;
}
}
@keyframes fadeinbg {
from {
background-image: none;
}
to {
background:url('body.png') no-repeat;
}
}
.container {
animation: fadein 2s;
}
.body {
animation: fadeinbg 2s;
I'm not sure if it would also affect the background image, but you could do the fade-in effect also without jQuery. At least in browsers which support CSS3:
@keyframes fadein{
from{opacity:0;}
to{opacity:1;}
}
.someElement{
animation: fadein 2s;
}
