I'm trying to create a slider of images (previous/next) so the images slide to the left when I click "previous" and to the right when I click "next" with 0.5s of slowness, so it takes some animation. And when I reach the last image and click "next", I want images to "run backwards" to the first one, the same when I'm in the first one and click "previous", so it "run forward" until the last one.
I want the same behaviour this JSFiddle shows. (but I don't need the timer to move images automatically and don't need the "triggers" buttons, just "previous" and "next").
The problem here is that my images don't have fixed size. I define a width in percentage and can't define a height because I have responsive design, the image resizes as I resize the browser window.
The jQuery to previous/next actions is pretty easy, but I just can't find a way to add this animation when I remove/add the "active" class to my images (so they become visible or not).
I have already tried putting all images side by side and showing only the first one (setting container width equals to image width), so when I click "next" I just "move" the container to the left so it begins to display the next image, but it doesn't work because once I can't define the height of the images, they will appear underneath each other, not side by side.
HTML
<div class="images">
<img class="active" src="1.jpg">
<img src="2.jpg">
<img src="3.jpg">
</div>
<div class="previous">previous</div>
<div class="next">next</div>
CSS
img {
width: 100px;
display: none;
float: left;
}
img.active {
display: block;
}
jQuery
$('.next').on('click', function() {
var active = $('img.active');
var next = active.next('img');
if (next.length) {
active.removeClass('active');
next.addClass('active');
} else {
active.removeClass('active');
$('.images img:first').addClass('active');
}
});
