The plugin is not firing off the script

[RailsCod3rFuture]

backstretch-rails is loading as I can see in the console, but the plugin itself is not working in my view.

At the end of my body, I placed $.backstretch("<%= image_tag 'movie-photo.png' %>"); inside of a script tag, but the background isn't changing at all. I'm using jquery-rails 4.0.2.

Update: The gem is working when I place the code inside of the application.js, and also when I place the code inside of a stand-alone JS file. But either way, backstretch-js is overriding the background for all views/controllers. How can I stop it from going beyond a single page?

Try calling it after the document has fully loaded, a common jquery method of doing this is the following:

$( document ).ready(function() {
  console.log( "ready!" );
  $.backstretch("<%= image_tag 'movie-photo.png' %>");
});

Your method works much better and it's cleaner. Thank you.
