Parallax
Introduction
Parallax is an effect where the background content or image in this case, is moved at a different speed than the foreground content while scrolling. Check out the demo to get a better idea of it.
Open DemoParallax HTML Structure
<div class="parallax-container">
<div class="parallax"><img src="images/parallax1.jpg"></div>
</div>
Initialization
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.parallax').parallax();
});
Parallax Customization
The parallax container height is what defines how much of the image can be seen. This is set to a default of 500px. You can add your own style to override this.
.parallax-container {
height: "your height here";
}
