Automatic Image Slider w/ CSS & jQuery
ags: Intermediate, Widgets
With the release of the iPad and its lack of support for flash, it has stirred up a lot of debates regarding the future of flash. With this in mind, I believe it is wise to build simple widgets like the image slider using HTML/CSS/Javascript, and leave more interactive applications for flash if needed. The html based image slider will have its benefits with SEO and will also degrade gracefully for those w/out js.
The Wireframe – HTML
Start with having a wrapping container div called main_view, and two sections nested inside called image_reel and paging. The image_reel will contain the sliding images, and paging contains the paging controls. Take a look at the image below for a visual.
