Horizontal page sliding
with left-margin animation
This jQuery snippet :
- Calculates the number of slides and set the width of the wrapper accordingly.
- According to which link is clicked,
left-marginis animated on the wrapper to show the corresponding slide with a smooth transition - Toggles the class of the clicked link for active link highlighting
Note that this solution:
- Uses only one menu occurence to minimize markup and prevent content repetition.
- Requires only the jQuery library
- works for a dynamic number of slides
$(document).ready(function() {
var slideNum = $('.page').length,
wrapperWidth = 100 * slideNum,
slideWidth = 100 / slideNum;
$('.wrapper').width(wrapperWidth + '%');
$('.page').width(slideWidth + '%');
$('a.scrollitem').click(function() {
$('a.scrollitem').removeClass('selected');
$(this).addClass('selected');
var slideNumber = $($(this).attr('href')).index('.page'),
margin = slideNumber * -100 + '%';
$('.wrapper').animate({
marginLeft: margin
}, 1000);
return false;
});
