Minimal jQuery Auto-fading Image Carousel Plugin - Fadeimages

Fadeimages is a minimalist jQuery plugin for creating a responsive image carousel with automatic fade-in and fade-out transitions.

Features:

• Responsive and full width.
• Extremely lightweight. Only 3kb unminified.
• Bottom dots navigation.
• Auto loop when reaches the last slide.
• Auto play and pause on mouse hover.
• jQuery based cross-browser transitions.

How to use it:

1. Insert your images into the carousel using CSS background-image property. The markup structure should be like this:

<div class="slide">
  <ul>
    <li style="background-image:url(images/03.jpg)"></li>
    <li style="background-image:url(images/02.jpg)"></li>
    <li style="background-image:url(images/01.jpg)"></li>
  </ul>
</div>

2. Add the basic CSS styles as shown below into your document.

.slide {
  width: 100%;
  height: 382px;
  margin: 50px auto;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.slide ul {
  margin: 0 auto;
  height: 382px;
}

.slide ul li {
  width: 100%;
  list-style: none;
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 1;
  height: 382px;
  background-position: top center;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
}

.slide #dots {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 10px;
  height: 30px;
  z-index: 9999;
  font-size: 0;
  text-align: center;
  opacity: 0.7;
}

.slide #dots a {
  background: #333;
  margin: 0 6px;
  width: 18px;
  height: 18px;
  box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 #333;
  border-radius: 100%;
  display: inline-block;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.slide #dots a.active { background: #FFF; }

.slide .arrow {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  width: 70px;
  height: 100px;
  margin-top: -50px;
  background: #FFF;
  z-index: 999;
  opacity: 0.7;
  line-height: 100px;
  color: #333;
  text-align: center;
  text-decoration: none;
}

.slide .arrow.prev { left: 0; }

.slide .arrow.next { right: 0; }

.slide .arrow:active {
  background: #FAFAFA;
  opacity: 1;
}

3. Include jQuery library and the jQuery Fadeimages plugin at the bottom of the document.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/jquery.fadeImg.js"></script>

4. Call the plugin on the parent element and done.

$(".slide").fadeImages();

5. Available options with defaults.

$(".slide").fadeImages({
  time: 3000, // animation delay
  fade: 1000, // animation speed
  dots: true, // dots navigation
  arrows: false, // display next / prev navigation
