Step 1 : Prepare HTML code with images
First of all we will create our HTML code with images to slide show and put left and right navigation.
<div id=”slider”>
<ul class=”slides”>
<li class=”slide active”><img src=”http://beaverslider.com/img/slider-main/1.jpg”></li>
<li class=”slide”><img src=”http://beaverslider.com/img/slider-main/2.jpg”></li>
<li class=”slide”><img src=”http://beaverslider.com/img/slider-main/3.jpg”></li>
<li class=”slide”><img src=”http://beaverslider.com/img/slider-main/4.jpg”></li>
<!– … and so on –>
</ul>
<div>
<p class=”left”> <a href=”#”> < </a> </p>
<p class=”right”> <a href=”#”> > </a></p>
</div>
Step 2 : CSS code
Now we are going to write css code to make adjustment divs and navigation button. We will hide all divs except one and put active class there.
#slider
{
width: 960px;
height: 317px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#slider .slides
{
display: block;
margin:0;
padding: 0;
}
#slider .slide
{
/*float: left;*/
list-style-type: none;
display: none;
}
#slider .active{
display:block;
}
.left{
position: absolute;
left: 17px;
top: 18%;
}
.right{
position: absolute;
right: 413px;
top: 18%;
}
.left a, .right a{
text-decoration: none;
color: rgb(73, 73, 73);
font-size: 48px;
background: rgb(204, 204, 204) none repeat scroll 0% 0%;
border: 1px solid rgb(119, 119, 119);
}
.left a:hover, .right a:hover{
background: #000;
}
Step3 : Jquery code
In this jquery part, we will create an animation using left and right navigation. Also we will use setInterval() function to make automatic slideshow.
$(function(){
var pause = 2000; // set interval time
var $slider = $(‘#slider’);
var interval;
startSlider(); //run startslider function on specific interval
function startSlider(){
interval = setInterval(funSlide, pause, true); //run funslider function on set interval
}
function stopSlider(){
clearInterval(interval); //clear startslider effect
}
function funSlide(value){
if(value) //check condition true or false
{
var $current=$(“#slider .slide:visible”).fadeOut();
var $next = $current.next().length ? $current.next() : $(“#slider .slide:first”);
$next.fadeIn(100);
}
else
{
var $current=$(“#slider .slide:visible”).fadeOut();
var $prev = $current.prev().length ? $current.prev() : $(“#slider .slide:last”);
$prev.fadeIn(100);
}
}
$slider.on(‘mouseenter’, stopSlider).on(‘mouseleave’, startSlider);
$(‘body’).on(‘click’, ‘.right a’, function(){
funSlide(true); //set true on right navigation click
})
$(‘body’).on(‘click’, ‘.left a’, function(){
funSlide(false); //set false on false navigation click
})
});
