Background Image Formatter
================


Introduction
------------


This module provides an image formatter that allows you to display the image
in a div as background image.
The module extends Drupal's images field. Because settings are attached
to the entity, it's very easy to setup and manage.

1. No module dependencies (Other that image).

2. Works with Drupal's field UI.

3. Works with Views.

4. Integrates with Drupal's image styles.

5. Offers 2 modes. (Inline Style & CSS Selector)



Inline Style
------------

Instead the generating the normal img markup we now generate
the div with a inline style.

This

<img src="PATH" />

is changed to

<div class="[YOUR CLASS]" style="background-image:
url('[ABSOLUTE PATH]')">&nbps;</div>



CSS Selector
------------

This option prevents the img tag from being printed to the dom and instead
generates a stylesheet in the dom.
