Background animation using jQuery
You can actually animate a background image with jQuery – though it’s not as easy as it sounds.

Creating a namespace in JavaScript
If you don’t namespace your code – you should.
It not only encloses the code but also gives it a unique name for reference.
This avoids “code collision”, where two like named objects or functions can break your code.
