The wonderful and popular “Beatiful jQuery Slider” worked great, but I ran into some questions that I, along with many others before me, had to figure out by looking through all the code, much of which is not necessary.
Here is a screenshot of the slider: (pretty nice eh?)

I created a slightly modified version (free, of course) with notes in the code to guide you in different ways.
Some of the features you will find:
- A cleaned up scripts.js file
- Easy-to-understand notes in various files to guide in customization.
- I changed some the css id names, etc for increased integrability for an html or blog page
(f.e. removing the body css and dispersing necessary attributes to other classes) - 2 different folders: 1 for the default slider with notes, the other is ready to integrate into a page.
Big credit and a shout-out goes to Ravindra from dream css for making the original slider. We love it! I just wanted to answer some of the questions in the files and clean it up a bit to make it easier to use for people.
In the notes, I answer questions like:
- How to change the dimensions of the slider without loosing any functionality i.e. gaps, etc.
- How to adjust the black navigation bar properly and change its size
- How to change the delay between transitions
- How to change the speed of the transitions
And I made it all much easier to understand!
So, If you have any other insight on this, or comments, etc.
Please reply below, because I wanna hear it!
