I'm trying to do an image slider/rotator using a JavaScript script I found...only thing is that I do not want it to have a next button/link or text underneath it...this script does...
I just want to put the images in the script and where those images would link to and it for to rotate every x seconds, defined by me.
Here is the script:
Code:
//** Content Slider Courtesy of Dynamic Drive //**
var enablepersist=true
var slidernodes=new Object() //Object array to store references to each content slider's DIV containers (<div class="contentdiv">)
function ContentSlider(sliderid, autorun){
var slider=document.getElementById(sliderid)
slidernodes[sliderid]=[] //Array to store references to this content slider's DIV containers (<div class="contentdiv">)
var alldivs=slider.getElementsByTagName("div")
for (var i=0; i<alldivs.length; i++){
if (alldivs[i].className=="contentdiv"){
slidernodes[sliderid].push(alldivs[i]) //add this DIV reference to array
}
}
ContentSlider.buildpagination(sliderid)
var loadfirstcontent=true
if (enablepersist && getCookie(sliderid)!=""){ //if enablepersist is true and cookie contains corresponding value for slider
var cookieval=getCookie(sliderid).split(":") //process cookie value ([sliderid, int_pagenumber (div content to jump to)]
if (document.getElementById(cookieval[0])!=null && typeof slidernodes[sliderid][cookieval[1]]!="undefined"){ //check cookie value for validity
ContentSlider.turnpage(cookieval[0], parseInt(cookieval[1])) //restore content slider's last shown DIV
loadfirstcontent=false
}
}
if (loadfirstcontent==true) //if enablepersist is false, or cookie value doesn't contain valid value for some reason (ie: user modified the structure of the HTML)
ContentSlider.turnpage(sliderid, 0) //Display first DIV within slider
if (typeof autorun=="number" && autorun>0) //if autorun parameter (int_miliseconds) is defined, fire auto run sequence
window[sliderid+"timer"]=setTimeout(function(){ContentSlider.autoturnpage(sliderid, autorun)}, autorun)
}
ContentSlider.buildpagination=function(sliderid){
var paginatediv=document.getElementById("paginate-"+sliderid) //reference corresponding pagination DIV for slider
var pcontent=""
for (var i=0; i<slidernodes[sliderid].length; i++) //For each DIV within slider, generate a pagination link
pcontent+='<font size="1" face="arial"><a href="#" onClick=\"ContentSlider.turnpage(\''+sliderid+'\', '+i+'); return false\">'+(i+1)+'</a></font> '
pcontent+='<font size="1" face="arial"><a href="#" onClick=\"ContentSlider.turnpage(\''+sliderid+'\', parseInt(this.getAttribute(\'rel\'))); return false\">Next</a></font>'
paginatediv.innerHTML=pcontent
paginatediv.onclick=function(){ //cancel auto run sequence (if defined) when user clicks on pagination DIV
if (typeof window[sliderid+"timer"]!="undefined")
clearTimeout(window[sliderid+"timer"])
}
}
ContentSlider.turnpage=function(sliderid, thepage){
var paginatelinks=document.getElementById("paginate-"+sliderid).getElementsByTagName("a") //gather pagination links
for (var i=0; i<slidernodes[sliderid].length; i++){ //For each DIV within slider
paginatelinks[i].className="" //empty corresponding pagination link's class name
slidernodes[sliderid][i].style.display="none" //hide DIV
}
paginatelinks[thepage].className="selected" //for selected DIV, set corresponding pagination link's class name
slidernodes[sliderid][thepage].style.display="block" //show selected DIV
//Set "Next" pagination link's (last link within pagination DIV) "rel" attribute to the next DIV number to show
paginatelinks[paginatelinks.length-1].setAttribute("rel", thenextpage=(thepage<paginatelinks.length-2)? thepage+1 : 0)
if (enablepersist)
setCookie(sliderid, sliderid+":"+thepage)
}
ContentSlider.autoturnpage=function(sliderid, autorunperiod){
var paginatelinks=document.getElementById("paginate-"+sliderid).getElementsByTagName("a") //Get pagination links
var nextpagenumber=parseInt(paginatelinks[paginatelinks.length-1].getAttribute("rel")) //Get page number of next DIV to show
ContentSlider.turnpage(sliderid, nextpagenumber) //Show that DIV
window[sliderid+"timer"]=setTimeout(function(){ContentSlider.autoturnpage(sliderid, autorunperiod)}, autorunperiod)
}
function getCookie(Name){
var re=new RegExp(Name+"=[^;]+", "i"); //construct RE to search for target name/value pair
if (document.cookie.match(re)) //if cookie found
return document.cookie.match(re)[0].split("=")[1] //return its value
return ""
}
function setCookie(name, value){
document.cookie = name+"="+value
}
Please help me improve it to what I want to do and instruct me on how to use it.
If you are referring to DD's Content slider, try to replace contentslider.js with this instead:
Code:
//** Featured Content Slider script- (c) Dynamic Drive DHTML code library: http://www.dynamicdrive.com.
//** May 2nd, 08'- Script rewritten and updated to 2.0.
//** June 12th, 08'- Script updated to v 2.3, which adds the following features:
//1) Changed behavior of script to actually collapse the previous content when the active one is shown, instead of just tucking it underneath the later.
//2) Added setting to reveal a content either via "click" or "mouseover" of pagination links (default is former).
//3) Added public function for jumping to a particular slide within a Featured Content instance using an arbitrary link, for example.
//** July 11th, 08'- Script updated to v 2.4:
//1) Added ability to select a particular slide when the page first loads using a URL parameter (ie: mypage.htm?myslider=4 to select 4th slide in "myslider")
//2) Fixed bug where the first slide disappears when the mouse clicks or mouses over it when page first loads.
