Cycle2 Non-Image Slides

Cycle2 allows you to use any type of element for the slides, it's not solely for cycling images. However, images are the default slide type so to use other elements you need to override the slides option as show on this page. The slides option can be set to any valid jQuery selector. The default value is > img which is a selector to find all image elements that are immediate children of the slideshow container.

Divs

These two examples demonstrates using plain old divs as slide elements.

<div class="cycle-slideshow" 
    data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" 
    data-cycle-timeout="2000"
    data-cycle-slides="> div"
    >
    <div style="background:#fcc">
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor ...
    </div>
    <div style="background:#cfc">
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor ...
    </div>
    <div style="background:#ccf">
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor ...
    </div>
</div>

<div class="cycle-slideshow" 
    data-cycle-fx="fade" 
    data-cycle-timeout="2000"
    data-cycle-slides="> div"
    >
    <div>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor ...
    </div>
    <div>
        <p>Mel eu pertinax ...
    </div>
    <div>
        <p>Utinam electram pertinacia ...
    </div>
</div>

Composites

Slides can be composed of many elements so don't feel constrained to just a single element for each slide. This example shows how to embed an overlay caption for each slide.

<div class="cycle-slideshow composite-example" 
    data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" 
    data-cycle-slides="> div"
    data-cycle-timeout="2000"
    >
    <div>
        <img src="https://malsup.github.io/images/p1.jpg" width=100%>
        <div class="cycle-overlay">Sonnenberg Gardens</div>
    </div>
    <div>
        <img src="https://malsup.github.io/images/p2.jpg" width=100%>
        <div class="cycle-overlay">The Redwoods</div>
    </div>
    <div>
        <img src="https://malsup.github.io/images/p3.jpg" width=100%>
        <div class="cycle-overlay">Andgel Island</div>
    </div>
    <div>
        <img src="https://malsup.github.io/images/p4.jpg" width=100%>
        <div class="cycle-overlay">Raquette Lake</div>
    </div>
</div>
