    On my localhost site, I'm trying to show rotating homepage images above the fold - without plugins.

    Current code is:

    .head-bg {
        background-attachment: fixed;
        background-image: url("images/home-img-1.jpg");
        background-position: center center;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-size: cover;
    }

    I'm trying to have a 5 second delay, then show home-img-2.jpg and so on. Can anyone explain how?

    Thks!

    You can't do this without script/plugins as you need to manipulate the HTML elements with time, I needed to do this once for a client request and by using Javascript I found this article very helpful - http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3881826
