Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to alter the order on which some images show, I want the images to shift to the right/left one spot every time I hit a button. This is what I've tried but no luck.
Any help or insight will be truly appreciated
$("#rightShift").click(function(){
$("img").hide();
var count = $("img").size();
$("img").each(function(i) {
var indexImg = count - i;
$("img:eq(indexImg)").show();
});
});
$("#leftShift").click(function(){
$("img").hide();
$("img:last").prependTo("img");
$("img").show();
});
Assuming you want this to work like a carousel that goes around (the last image become the first one when you are shifting right), then this is how I would do it:
$("#rightShift").click(function(){
$("img:last").detach().insertBefore("img:first");
});
$("#leftShift").click(function(){
$("img:first").detach().insertAfter("img:last");
});
You're trying to refer to a variable inside a string. That makes no sense.
You actually meant:
$("img:eq(" + indexImg + ")").show();
But a more efficient implementation is:
$(this).prev().show();
The most efficient implementation without side-effects is:
$("#rightShift").click(function(){
var $images = $("img"); // <-- Reference to all images
$images.hide();
//var count = $images.length; //<-- Unused variable, delete it?
$images.each(function(i) {
$(this).prev().show();
});
});
$("#leftShift").click(function() {
var $images = $("img");
$images.hide();
$images.last().prependTo("img"); // OR: $images.before($images.last());
$images.show();
});
This:
$("img:eq(indexImg)").show();
Should be this:
$("img:eq(" + indexImg + ")").show();
Not sure if other stuff is wrong though.
