How to make HTML/CSS slideshow background fade?

I was wondering how you make a background slideshow fade into other photos like a regular slideshow. I've tried many codes and have yet to be successful.

Now, I have a code to make the background change to different photos which works well, but it doesn't fade. Is there anyway to add this?

Here is the code

<html>
<head>

<style>


body{
/*Remove below line to make bgimage NOT fixed*/
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
/*Use center center in place of 300 200 to center bg image*/
background-position: 0 0; background-
}
</style>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

//Background Image Slideshow- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
//For full source code, 100's more DHTML scripts, and TOS,
//visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com

//Specify background images to slide
var bgslides=new Array()
bgslides[0]="http://i892.photobucket.c…

bgslides[1]="http://i892.photobucket.c…

bgslides[2]="http://i892.photobucket.c…

//Specify interval between slide (in miliseconds)
var speed=2000

//preload images
var processed=new Array()
for (i=0;i<bgslides.length;i++){
processed[i]=new Image()
processed[i].src=bgslides[i]
}

var inc=-1

function slideback(){
if (inc<bgslides.length-1)
inc++
else
inc=0
document.body.background=processed[inc…
}

if (document.all||document.getElementById)
window.onload=new Function('setInterval("slideback()",spee…

</script>

</head>

</html>

If you have any suggestions please let me know. Also, I am not the greatest at coding and don't have a clue about JavaScript, so please explain what to do.

How do you make a fade effect in CSS?

Method 1: Using CSS animation property: A CSS animation is defined with 2 keyframes. One with the opacity set to 0, the other with the opacity set to 1. When the animation type is set to ease, the animation smoothly fades in the page. This property is applied to the body tag.

Working example on jsFiddle.

Use this code instead: (note that you'll need to load jQuery in order for this code to work)

HTML

<div class="fadein">
    <img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8359/8450229021_9d660578b4_n.jpg">
    <img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8510/8452880627_0e673b24d8_n.jpg">
    <img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8108/8456552856_a843b7a5e1_n.jpg">
    <img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8230/8457936603_f2c8f48691_n.jpg">
    <img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8329/8447290659_02c4765928_n.jpg">
</div>

CSS

.fadein {
    position:relative;
    height:320px;
    width:320px;
}

.fadein img {
    position:absolute;
    left:0;
    top:0;
}

JavaScript

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('.fadein img:gt(0)').hide();

setInterval(function () {
    $('.fadein :first-child').fadeOut()
                             .next('img')
                             .fadeIn()
                             .end()
                             .appendTo('.fadein');
}, 4000); // 4 seconds
});
</script>
