SlideShow Using JQuery

As a Rails programmer, I have been using Prototype and Scriptaculous for over a year and a half, solely because it comes packages with Rails and has helpers. About 3 months ago, I discovered JQuery, which is another Javascript library that combines the powers of Prototype and Scriptaculous into one. JQuery is very easy to install for your web app and has a TON of cool things you can do with it.

In this article, I will show you how to create a simple slide show using JQuery and the jQuery Cycle Lite plugin.

To see an example of how the final results should work, go to http://wynn.reservationcounter.com. You can also download the example code I use here.

Step 1. Download the jQuery library

Go to http://www.jquery.com and download the production-ready minified library. The file that I used is jquery-1.2.6.js.

Step 2. Download the jQuery Cycle Lite plugin

This can be found with numerous examples of this incredible plugin at http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/lite/. At the bottom of the page, you will see a link jQuery Cycle Lite Plugin - minified. Save the targeted javascript file as jquery.cycle.lite.plugin.js.

Step 3. Create the HTML page to bring it all together

Ok.. let’s explain what’s going on here in the HTML.

Lines 4-7 are the javascript includes for the two libraries we downloaded. Note that the query include comes before the plugin. This is important.

Lines 8-15 are where the magic happens. Here we use jQuery to perform the cycle function on the element with the ID of ’slideshow_images’ with the parameters found on lines 11-12. There are many options available, which can be found at plugin website.

Lines 19-25 contains the div with the ID that is referenced on line 10. Inside this are 5 images that are all the same height and width.

That’s it. It’s very simple, but looks great.. sexy even! Have fun with this one.
