Usage
HTML
The carousel uses a 3 layer structure in the HTML document.
<div class="slider"> <ul> <li>First Slide</li> <li>Second Slide</li> <li>Third Slide</li> </ul> </div> All your content for each slide should go inside the innermost elements, as illustrated above.
For the rest of the docs we will refer to the outermost element as the wrapper, the middle element as the slider and the innermost elements as the slides.
CSS
The styles in the jcider.css file are the default styles that come with the plugin. You can customize the appearence and positioning as per your convinience in the jcider.css file. Please refer to the file for information on the selectors.
