How can I combine an image slider with scaling images?
<p>I have a bit of a dilemma in the sense that I can't seem to get a jquery image cycler working with scaling images.</p>

<p>What I basically have is a website with a small navigation list at the top, and then full screen images which can be cycled using a control at the bottom of the page. Previously I've used <a href="http://srobbin.com/jquery-plugins/backstretch/" rel="nofollow">backstretch</a> to get the desired effect for a background image that stretches with the browser window.</p>

<p>I was also hoping on using <a href="http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/" rel="nofollow">Jquery Cycle</a> as the plugin to do the image slider (as I've used this countless times before).</p>

<p>The problem is that I need the effect of backstretch (ie. scaling images) but with a slider. I have tried using other plugins for the stretching but most of them only seem to allow the images to be scaled down (if the window shrinks) rather than upwards. I can't use backstretch because it takes up the entire body tag. I only need a container div to contain the stretched images (so I can have the header/navigation sitting at the top without cropping the images).</p>

<p>However I have no idea how to then get this to work with Jquery Cycle.</p>

<p>Has anyone done this before or have any examples of this working?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
