Explanation and Key Improvements:
- HTML Structure: Sets up the container, slider, individual slides, and navigation buttons. Uses image placeholders; replace
"image1.jpg"
, etc. with your actual image URLs. - CSS Styling:
.slider-container
: Provides the fixed width and hides overflowing slide content..slider
: Usesdisplay: flex
andtransition
for the sliding animation..slide
:min-width: 100%
ensures each slide occupies the full width of the container.flex-shrink: 0
prevents slides from shrinking if the container is too narrow..slider-nav
: Positions the navigation buttons absolutely over the slider.- Responsive Design Considerations: The
width
of the.slider-container
is currently fixed. For responsive behavior, consider using percentage widths or viewport units (e.g.,vw
).
- JavaScript Logic: This code handles the actual sliding functionality:
- `slide
