Building a responsive full width slider (carousel)?

Hi all, 

 

I have to build a responsive full width (not height) tabbed slider with GSAP.

Anyone has tried this kind of project?  Any ideas will be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Hi neuhaus3000,

 

Perhaps you will find the concepts discussed here helpful: http://greensock.com/gsap-1-13-1

It is not extremely difficult to achieve something like this.

 

You could try and attach some logic into the resize event.

$(window).resize(function(){
   // resize container here
});

Then for the slider you could setup your animation to animate left/right according to the full-width of the browser. Like follows:

// sliding right to left
function slideNext(){
   TweenMax.to(container, 1, {marginLeft: "-="+$(window).innerWidth()});
}

// sliding left to right
function slidePrev(){
   TweenMax.to(container, 1, {marginLeft: "+="+$(window).innerWidth()});
}

*Provided that the "containers" inside the main slider span for the full browser width.

Hey Fila,

 

Nope!  I used a slick plugin name Slick Slider! http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/

Very easy to use! 

 

Kind Regards,
