skippr

A fast & light jQuery plugin for creating tasteful slideshows.

Install via bower bower install skippr

======

The Setup.

Include jquery.skippr.css inside your head tag and jquery.skippr.js just before the closing body tag. Be sure to include jQuery before jquery.skippr.js

<head>
    <title>Your Awesome Website</title>        
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/skippr.css">
</head>
<body>
        

        
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
    <script src="dist/skippr.js"></script>
</body>

Create a target element with divs inside, one for each slide, and add a background image with css or the style attribute. Skippr targets div tags inside of the selected element with background-images applied to them. Put this target element inside of a container element styled and positioned to your liking. The target element will completely fill it's parent container element.

**Note: The container element must have a specified width and height, and position other than static to work properly.

<div id="container">
    <div id="theTarget">
        <div style="background-image: url(img/image1.jpg)"></div>
        <div style="background-image: url(img/image2.jpg)"></div>
        <div style="background-image: url(img/image3.jpg)"></div>
        <div style="background-image: url(img/image4.jpg)"></div>
        <div style="background-image: url(img/image5.jpg)"></div>
    </div>    
</div>

Initiate

Just select the target element with jQuery and call the skippr method. Thats it!

$(document).ready(function(){

    $("#theTarget").skippr();

});
