Re: [Rails] Re: Backstretch-Rails JS Stopped Working

[Jason Fleetwood-Boldt]

1) Are you having this problem in development or production?

2) Where did you put the jquery.backstretch.js file

3) you probably don't want to load that file from your layout, you probably 
want to load the application.js as instructed by the Gem instructions

4) did you read the Asset Pipeline Guide and make sure you have a solid 
understand of how it works? You appear to not be following the basic guidelines 
outlined in http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html

5) Also I think if you're not targeting below IE 9 you can use the 
background-size: 100% css property to do what that jQuery plugin does without 
any javascript at all.
