I have the following script to run a slideshow, that works just fine.
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
setInterval(function () {
moveRight();
}, 5000);
var slideCount = $('#slider ul li').length;
var slideWidth = $('#slider ul li').width();
var slideHeight = $('#slider ul li').height();
var sliderUlWidth = slideCount * slideWidth;
$('#slider').css({ width: slideWidth, height: slideHeight });
$('#slider ul').css({ width: sliderUlWidth, marginLeft: - slideWidth });
$('#slider ul li:last-child').prependTo('#slider ul');
function moveLeft() {
$('#slider ul').animate({
left: + slideWidth
}, 500, function () {
$('#slider ul li:last-child').prependTo('#slider ul');
$('#slider ul').css('left', '');
});
};
function moveRight() {
$('#slider ul').animate({
left: - slideWidth
}, 500, function () {
$('#slider ul li:first-child').appendTo('#slider ul');
$('#slider ul').css('left', '');
});
};
$('a.control_prev').click(function () {
moveLeft();
});
$('a.control_next').click(function () {
moveRight();
});
});
But I want it to pause on mouse hover, and I've tried a few other suggestions I found here on SO (including the one below), but couldn't make any of them work with the code I have. Any ideas? Thanks.
$("#slider ul").mouseover(function() {
$("#slider ul").trigger('pause', true);
});
You can use .stop()
, clearInterval()
// define reference to `setInterval()` call
var interval = setInterval(function () {
moveRight();
}, 5000);
// stop animations, clear `interval`
$("#slider ul").mouseover(function() {
$(this).stop();
clearInterval(interval);
});
