If you haven't already you can download the script from GitHub. github.com/willrossi/jQuery-Multiple-Elements-Cycle
You need to include the jQuery library. This plugin comes bundled with jQuery 1.3.2 Minified. You also need to include the jquery.multipleelements.cycle.js or the minified version in your page.
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.5.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.multipleelements.cycle.js"></script>
<div class="cycleElementsContainer" id="plainDemo">
<a href="#" id="cycleElementsLeft">Scroll Left</a>
<div id="cycleElements">
<ul>
<li>#1</li>
<li>#2</li>
<li>#3</li>
<li>#4</li>
<li>#5</li>
<li>#6</li>
</ul>
</div>
<a href="#" id="cycleElementsRight">Scroll Right</a>
</div>
Once you have included the JS and the html then you need to define your own CSS styles and initialize the JS effect
/* CSS */
.cycleElementsContainer li { width: XXXX; float: left; }
/* If Vertical Scroll then define the height rather than the width and remove the float */
.cycleElementsContainer li { height: XXXX;}
/* HTML */
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#plainDemo").multipleElementsCycle();
});
</script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#plainDemo").multipleElementsCycle();
});$(document).ready(function() {
$("#verticalDemo").multipleElementsCycle({
vertical: true
});
});$(document).ready(function() {
$("#fixedStartDemo").multipleElementsCycle({
container: '#cycleElementsQuickly',
prev: '#cycleElementsQuicklyLeft',
next: '#cycleElementsQuicklyRight',
speed: 1000,
start: 0,
showCount: 3
});
});Sometimes you will want custom buttons to jump to the end or start of a cycle. You can specify the selectors in the 'jumpTo' configuration.
The plugin will work out the offset from the data-position tag on the selector using jQuery data API. The offset can be the following formats - 0 for end of the page, negative values for offset on the right side or positive values for left offset.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#jumpToDemo").multipleElementsCycle({
container: '#cycleToPointElements',
prev: '#cycleToPointPrev',
next: '#cycleToPointNext',
jumpTo: '.cycleToPoint'
})
});To scroll through more than 1 item at a time you can pass scrollCount as an integer
and it will scroll that amount rather than 1.
If there is not enough items in the list to scroll another time it automatically scrolls the remainder
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#scrollCount").multipleElementsCycle({
container: '#cycleScrollCount',
prev: '#cycleScrollCountPrev',
next: '#cycleScrollCountNext',
scrollCount: 4
});
});$("#demo").multipleElementsCycle({
container: '#cycle', // Selector for element (ul) container (selector)
prev: '#cycle-prev', // Selector to scroll previous (selector)
next: '#cycle-next', // Selector to scroll next (selector)
speed: 500, // Speed to scroll elements (int)
containerSize: false, // Override default size (int, px)
show: 4, // Items to show from the list (int)
start: false, // Override the start with a defined value (int)
jumpTo: false, // Selectors to use as jump list (selector)
vertical: false, // Whether Scroll is for vertical (bool)
scrollCount: 1, // How many elements to scroll when clicking next / prev (int)
element: "li", // Element which is cycled. Update this and parent (selector)
parent: "ul" // Parent element which contains the elements (selector)
