{
  position:fixed;
  color:white;
}
#wrapper div
{
  height:700px;
}
#wrapper div p

  margin:0px;
  text-align:center;
  padding:100px;
  padding-top:150px;

  background-attachment:fixed;
  background-size: 100% 100%;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  width:100%;
}
#div2_wrapper
{
  background:url("images/parallax2.jpg") no-repeat;
  background-attachment:fixed;
  background-size: 100% 100%;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  width:100%;

</style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="wrapper">
<p id="stats" style="position:fixed;color:white;"></p>
<div id="div1_wrapper">
<div id="div1">

<b style="color:#298A08;">Demo of Parallax Effect Using jQuery and CSS</b>
</p>
</div>
</div>

</div>

</body>
</html>

In this step we create two div that holds the image and content,each width is 700px and.

Then we use css background property to apply images in divs background and make them fixed to get parallax effect.

Then we use $(window).scroll function to run the function when user scrolls the window and under this function we get how much distance the user scroll the page.

We use 100 in if condition because we need to show parallax after 100px distance from top you can specify any number as you wish.
