Im trying to achive a slideshow that looks like this
http://ge.tt/api/1/files/2AjKcVM/0/blob/x675?noinc=1
where the width is 100%, and keeps scrolling infinitely left or right, but always having an image in the center no matter the browser resolution. This is what ive got so far
http://fourcreeklandscape.com/index2.html
the slideshow images have a width of 800px, the left most image has a margin-left of -25%... which sorta looks like it works in a 1280px screen size.... but doesnt look like its suppose to when i resize the window.
Heres the slideshow code im using
$(document).ready(function() {
//move he last list item before the first item. The purpose of this is if the user clicks to slide left he will be able to see the last item.
$('#carousel_ul li:first').before($('#carousel_ul li:last'));
//when user clicks the image for sliding right
$('#right_scroll img').click(function(){
//get the width of the items ( i like making the jquery part dynamic, so if you change the width in the css you won't have o change it here too ) '
var item_width = $('#carousel_ul li').outerWidth() + 10;
//calculae the new left indent of the unordered list
var left_indent = parseInt($('#carousel_ul').css('left')) - item_width;
//make the sliding effect using jquery's anumate function '
$('#carousel_ul:not(:animated)').animate({'left' : left_indent},500,function(){
//get the first list item and put it after the last list item (that's how the infinite effects is made) '
$('#carousel_ul li:last').after($('#carousel_ul li:first'));
//and get the left indent to the default -210px
$('#carousel_ul').css({'left' : '-210px'});
});
});
//when user clicks the image for sliding left
$('#left_scroll img').click(function(){
var item_width = $('#carousel_ul li').outerWidth() + 10;
/* same as for sliding right except that it's current left indent + the item width (for the sliding right it's - item_width) */
var left_indent = parseInt($('#carousel_ul').css('left')) + item_width;
$('#carousel_ul:not(:animated)').animate({'left' : left_indent},500,function(){
/* when sliding to left we are moving the last item before the first list item */
$('#carousel_ul li:first').before($('#carousel_ul li:last'));
/* and again, when we make that change we are setting the left indent of our unordered list to the default -210px */
$('#carousel_ul').css({'left' : '-210px'});
});
});});
Any ideas? thanks
