title: Animating <img> svg's with CSS?
body: <p>I've read a <a href="http://css-tricks.com/animating-svg-css/" rel="nofollow">sweet tutorial</a> about animating elements in a svg-image over at CSS-Tricks. The author addresses the different elements with CSS-classes added inside the svg. I would like to use that technique, but unfortunately on a background-image. So the svg is set as background-image in CSS and is not inline.
  Is there a chance to achieve the same effect without putting the svg straight in my HTML? Maybe with jQuery?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
