I\'m trying to make a very simple Image gallery. Most of the design is already complete (used JQuery)...but now I\'m trying to think out the logic it takes to get the images
This is the best example of a simple inline non-jQuery image gallery that I've found, obtained from http://extremestudio.ro/:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC>
<html>
<head>
<title>
Simple and Effective Photo Gallery with HTML and JavaScript
</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background: #222;
margin-top: 20px;
}
h3 {
color: #eee;
font-family: Verdana;
}
.thumbnails img {
height: 80px;
border: 4px solid #555;
padding: 1px;
margin: 0 10px 10px 0;
}
.thumbnails img:hover {
border: 4px solid #00ccff;
cursor:pointer;
}
.preview img {
border: 4px solid #444;
padding: 1px;
width: 400px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="gallery" align="center">
<h3>Simple and Effective Photo Gallery with HTML and JavaScript</h3><br/>
<div class="thumbnails">
<img onmouseover="preview.src=img1.src" id="img1" src="http://bit.ly/2rz3hy" alt="Image Not Loaded"/>
<img onmouseover="preview.src=img2.src" id="img2" src="http://bit.ly/1ug1e6" alt="Image Not Loaded"/>
<img onmouseover="preview.src=img3.src" id="img3" src="http://bit.ly/1yIAYc" alt="Image Not Loaded"/>
<img onmouseover="preview.src=img4.src" id="img4" src="http://bit.ly/2LHyDW" alt="Image Not Loaded"/>
<img onmouseover="preview.src=img5.src" id="img5" src="http://bit.ly/2wyHSR" alt="Image Not Loaded"/>
<img onmouseover="preview.src=img6.src" id="img6" src="http://bit.ly/yRo1i" alt="Image Not Loaded"/>
</div><br/>
<div class="preview" align="center">
<img id="preview" src="http://bit.ly/2rz3hy" alt="No Image Loaded"/>
</div><br/>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The only javascript is embedded in the tags, but could easily be moved to script tags for more flexibility.
Most importantly, you need to build the background property by concatenating ("+" operator) its different parts, as shown below ; otherwise it won't be replaced by the values from your array if you make it a static string.
Also use the global scope to declare and initialize your image array and counter :
<script>
var myImage= new Array();
myImage[0]="penguins.jpg";
myImage[1]="desert.jpg";
myImage[2]="jellyfish.jpg";
myImage[3]="flower.jpg";
var ImageCnt = 0;
function next(){
ImageCnt++;
document.getElementById("whiteBox").style.background = 'url(' + myImage[ImageCnt] + ')';
}
</script>
Finally, return false from onclick otherwise you'll reload the page :
<a href="#" onclick="next();return false;"><img src="next.png"/></a>
