[SOLVED] Background image not fading in

Background image not fading in

I've been trying to figure out why my background image is not fading in. I've tried using css/jquery and also the w3 route. I can see that the background image is actually showing up and I have checked to see that the jquery code is actually working for any tags I nest inside the body tag. I have read other posts but they are not helping.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("body").hide().fadeIn(3000);
});

body {
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    background-image: url('../images/index.jpeg');
}

Solution

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("body").hide().fadeIn(3000);
});

html,body{
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
}

div{
  width:100%;
  height: 100vh;
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  background-image: url('http://www.nationalgeographic.com/content/dam/science/photos/000/009/940.jpg');
}
