Craftyslide is a tiny (just 2kb) slideshow built on jQuery. Craftyslide aims to be different, by providing a simple, no-frills method of displaying images; packaged into a small, clean and efficient plugin.
Craftyslide was created first and foremost as an experiment, but secondly out of frustration with many plugins being written today. I found many slideshow plugins too bloated for my needs and code supplied was often superfluous and non-semantic.

| <div id="slideshow"> <ul> <li> <img src="image1.jpg" title="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" /> </li> <li> <img src="image2.jpg" title="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" /> </li> <li> <img src="image3.jpg" title="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" /> </li> </ul></div> |
Using Craftyslide on your site is easy. Simply create a div which houses a ul containing your list of images (see above). Give your images a title if you want to create captions, then include the supplied JS/CSS/Image files. That’s all there is to it!
