  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;

  background-size: cover;
}

Answer 1

Use:

Jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ook3ah4p/

var interval = self.setInterval(swapBkgnd, 5000) // true syntax

instead of:

var interval = self.setInterval("swapBkgnd()", 5000) // wrong syntax

for animation:

$('#background')
    .animate({opacity: 0}, 'slow', function() {
        $(this)
            .css({'background-image': "url(" + bgArr[i] + ")"})
            .animate({opacity: 1});
    });

Set it up like this:

function swapBkgnd() {
  if (i > (bgArr.length - 1)) {
    i = 0;
  }
  $("#background").fadeOut("slow", function () {
    $(this).css("background-image", "url(" + bgArr[i] + ")");
    $(this).fadeIn("slow");
  });
  i++;
};
