Apply "stretch" functionality to img elements?

[nickhudson]

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if anyone's been able to figure out how to apply the dynamic re-sizing functionality to img elements, instead of having to pass an array of images. I'm using Meta Slider Pro (via Wordpress) and I'd like to be able to backstretch the slide images, if possible.

Thanks,

That is exactly what I am looking for @nickhudson!

For SEO purposes it is better to have an existing picture (-Element) that is loaded with the DOM and as such readable by Search Bots without JavaScript instead of loading the image after the DOM trough asynchronous Javascript.

Furthermore it is also better for mobile devices to apply the backstretch on an existing -Element that has responsive images functionality (srcset). It saves bandwidth and improves loading time alot.

@srobbin wouldn't it be easy to apply the backstretch functionality directly to an -Element? A slider functionality wouldn't be needed as well so the plugin is more lightweight than it already is.

@robincornett: Wouldn't this fix the discussed SEO issues with the display-featured-image-genesis plugin?
