The new simple way to make a image slider by Javascript

I found that is difficult to search a simple javascript code about scrolling image slide. You can find them on Internet but they often are long and complex or hidden from us to prevent edit.

I just found a simple way to resolve this. I hope it will help your editting easier to make it yours! We need 2 div tag to make a slide. ChildDiv to store image array and ParentDiv to contain Child Div.

Note:
Image Array's Structure: [<Image's Link>, <Image's Width>, <URL to Go>]
Functions:

DoSlide(), Make Slide to run.
setmouse(param), set Slide play and pause when pointer over or out on images;
Dr_ImgArr(); Print image array to HTML;
getE(), getElementById();
DivWidth: Width of ParentDiv;
MoreImage: Num Of Image on a begin of Image Array, insert into the last of ChildDiv to continue the Slide;
​

....
If you have anymore comment, please reply here so that I can make it more perfect,
thank for all.

thank!

 

i like the demo, i wish i could know as much stuff as you guys do...

 

I've always wanted to make an image slider, but thought it would be quite complicated and never went through with it. I never knew it was so damn simple. Thanks for this post.
