Simple jQuery Image Viewer With Slider Control - Beauty Slider

Beauty Slider is a jQuery plugin used to generate a custom slider control that works with sprites of images. Great for creating an image viewer that gives your visitors a 360º viewing experience with your product, images, or anything else you want.

How to use it:

1. Add jQuery library and the jQuery Beauty Slider Plugin to the webpage.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="plugin/jquery.slider.min.js"></script>

2. Create a container to place the image viewer.

<div id="scene"></div>

3. Create a slider control for the image viewer.

<div id="slider" title="Drag the slider!"></div>

4. Add your sprite image as a background to the image viewer.

.beautyslider {
  background: 0 center url(background.png) repeat-x;
  width: 300px;
  height: 33px;
  position: relative;
  margin: 10px 0;
}

5. Initialize the plugin and change the background position of your sprite image using the onChange function.

$('#slider').beautyslider({
  slidesTotal: 7,
  onChange: function () {
    $('#scene').css({
      'background-position': 300 * (1 - $(this).getCurrentSlide()) + 'px 0'
    })
  }
});

6. Style the slider control.

.beautyslider .traveller {
  background: 0 0 url(slider-traveller.png) no-repeat;
  width: 14px;
  height: 33px;
  position: absolute;
}

.beautyslider:hover .traveller, .beautyslider.active .traveller { background-image: url(slider-traveller-active.png); }

.beautyslider:hover, .beautyslider.active { cursor: pointer; }

7. All default options.

// current slide
currentSlide:   1,

// number of slides
slidesTotal:    7,

// CSS class
sliderCSS:      'beautyslider',

// callback
