[jQuery] Re: How to animate background images or background of div

[ryan.j]

i may be completely misunderstanding you, but have you tried to
combine a fadeOut() on the first image then a fadeIn() on the next
image?

you can change the background-color of a div with

$('#yourDiv').css("background-color", newColour)

but that will just change it, it won't fade it gradually on it's own.

or if you're feeling fruity you can layer the 2 images up and fade
one out to reveal the other one or whatever.

you'd probably want to change the src of the new img.inactive to point
to the next image, switch their classes between active to inactive,
with active having the higher z-index and .inactive being hidden.

something like that should do the trick, anyway.
