jquery-perfect-background

based on viewport width

what does it do?

maintains aspect ratio, center positioning, and scale after each window resize or orientation change.

on window resize the background is faded out and faded back in appropriately scaled and repositioned.

how does it work?

include jquery library, this plugin, and call $("#background").perfectBg(); in your document.ready().

where #background is the CSS ID of your background image & your content goes inside div #maincontent.

required javascript

<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/jq-perfect-bg.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {  
  $("#background").perfectBg();
});
</script>

required css

html, body {
  height:100%; 
  width:100%; 
  margin:0; 
  padding:0;
}

body {
  overflow:hidden;
}

#background
  {
  display:none;
  }

#maincontent 
  {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  z-index: 50;
  display: none;
  }

required html

<img src="path/to/background.jpg" id="background" alt=""/>
<div id="maincontent">
<!--your content goes here-->  
</div>

where is it from?
