    This code will do what you want..

    $(function(){
    
        var stretcher = $('#background-container > img'),
            element = stretcher[0],
            currentSize = { width: 0, height: 0 },
            $document = $(document);
    
        $(window).resize(function () {
            var w = $document.width();
            var h = $document.height();
    
            if (currentSize.width != w || currentSize.height != h) {
                stretcher.width(w).height('auto');
                if (h > element.height) {
                    stretcher.width('auto').height(h);
                }
                currentSize.width = w;
                currentSize.height = element.width;
            }
        })
    
        $(window).load(function () {
            $(this).trigger('resize');
        });
    
    });
    

    Set your HTML like this

    <div id="page">
        Your page contents here..
    </div>
    <div id="background-container">
          <img src="path/to/image" />
    </div>
    

    and your CSS like

    #background-container{
        position:absolute;
        z-index:1;
        top:0;
        left:0;
        width:100%;
        height:100%;
        overflow:hidden;
    }
    
    #page{
        position:relative;
        z-index:5;
    }
