I set up a fiddle with a simple image rotator and thumbnails. However, when the page loads the script starts with the second image.
A similar post on SO mentioned to move the active
classes to the last image and thumbnail. That's not a good solution.
What do I need to modify so that it starts with the first image and thumbnail?
Here's my fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/yCXka/4/
and the code:
HTML
<div id="bigImage">
<img src="http://www.placehold.it/500x200&text=500" width="500" height="200" id="image1" class="active"/>
<img src="http://www.placehold.it/400x175&text=400" width="400" height="175" id="image2" />
<img src="http://www.placehold.it/300x150&text=300" width="300" height="150" id="image3" />
<img src="http://www.placehold.it/200x125&text=200" width="200" height="125" id="image4" />
</div>
<ul id="thumbnails">
<li class="activeThumbnail"><img src="http://www.placehold.it/140x100&text=500" width="140" height="100" /></li>
<li><img src="http://www.placehold.it/140x100&text=400" width="140" height="100" /></li>
<li><img src="http://www.placehold.it/140x100&text=300" width="140" height="100" /></li>
<li><img src="http://www.placehold.it/140x100&text=200" width="140" height="100" /></li>
</ul>
CSS:
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#bigImage {
width:500px;
height:200px;
margin-bottom:30px;
overflow:hidden;
}
#bigImage img {
display:none;
}
#bigImage .active {
display:inline;
}
#thumbnails {
clear:both;
width:610px;
height:100px;
}
#thumbnails li {
float:left;
width:140px;
height:100px;
margin-right:10px;
list-style-type:none;
}
.activeThumbnail {
border:5px solid lime;
}
JS:
$(document).ready(function(){
imageRotator();
// inspiration:
//http://aarontennyson.com/tutorials/demos/slide_show_fade/
});
function imageRotator() {
var active = $('#bigImage .active'),
thumbnails = $('#thumbnails li'),
activeThumbnail = $('#thumbnails .activeThumbnail'),
activeID = active.prop('id'),
next = active.next().length ? active.next() : active.parent().children(':first'),
nextThumb = activeThumbnail.next().length ? activeThumbnail.next() : activeThumbnail.parent().children(':first');
active.fadeOut(800, function() {
thumbnails.removeClass('activeThumbnail');
nextThumb.addClass('activeThumbnail');
next.fadeIn(800).addClass('active');
}).removeClass('active');
setTimeout(imageRotator, 5000);
}
Thank you!
