Web2py Views: Multiple images changing in the background of index?

[Gideon George]

Please I need a help, this is the first time I am posting here and I am in my journey to be the Africa's number one Web2py enthusiast. I am currently developing my first web2py application and I have less than a week to complete it and head over to a more complex application by next week.

My question to the community is, I want to use two pictures rotating display as my background image in the index. please help me with suggestion on how to go about it.

Thank you.

NB: Example of a similar situation is the index of twitter(i.e before user logged in)

I don't see a background helper in the chapter on views, so I'd probably play around with the STYLE helper to set the background image.  That should work easily for 1 image, and for changing images I see 2 options: 

1) use a reload timer to refresh the page and load the 2nd image at that time.  Details TBD, and that might not be a smooth transition.

2) use javascript and a timer to rewrite the DOM entry for the background image.  Again, details TBD.

Good luck ... sorry this answer is so late.
