Making the Carousel Widget to display items in a loop

Here we will use the YUI Carousel Control's isCircular configuration setting to make the Carousel into a loop.

This example has the following dependencies:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.6.0/build/carousel/assets/skins/sam/carousel.css"> <script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.6.0/build/yahoo/yahoo-dom-event.js"></script> <script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.6.0/build/element/element-beta-min.js"></script> <script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.6.0/build/carousel/carousel-beta-min.js"></script>

This example uses progressive enhancement to build the Carousel from an ordered list of elements.

<div id="container"> <ol> <li> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/213130158_0d1aa23576_d.jpg" height="375" width="500"> </li> <li> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/72/213128367_74b0a657c3_d.jpg" height="375" width="500"> </li> <li> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/98/213129707_1f40c509fa_d.jpg" height="375" width="500"> </li> <li> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/59/213129191_b958880a96_d.jpg" height="375" width="500"> </li> <li> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/92/214077367_77ae970965_d.jpg" height="375" width="500"> </li> <li> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/81/214076446_18fe6a6c91_d.jpg" height="375" width="500"> </li> <li> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/93/214075781_0604edb894_d.jpg" height="375" width="500"> </li> <li> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/40/214075243_ea66c4cb31_d.jpg" height="375" width="500"> </li> <li> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/67/214074120_33933bf232_d.jpg" height="375" width="500"> </li> <li> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/79/214073568_f16d1ffce7_d.jpg" height="375" width="500"> </li> </ol> </div>

We'll have only one CSS rule to set the height for the Carousel items.

.yui-carousel-element li { height: 375px; }

Since we have the elements in place, we can invoke the Carousel's constructor with the isCircular configuration to create the widget.

YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(function (ev) { var carousel = new YAHOO.widget.Carousel("container", { isCircular: true, numVisible: 1 }); carousel.render(); // get ready for rendering the widget carousel.show(); // display the widget }
