I am trying to use W3.CSS Slideshow, the section "Slideshow Indicators".
However I need to create the previous and next buttons dynamically using JS.
But for some reason the prev and next buttons are not working..! (nothing happen onclick)
Here is my code:
HTML Code:
<title>Pre:D</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.w3schools.com/lib/w3.css">
<script src="script.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="w3-row-padding" style = "width: 800px" id="form">
<div class="mySlides">First Slide</div>
<div class="mySlides">Second Slide</div>
<div class="mySlides">Third Slide</div>
</div>
<div id="toggle" class="w3-center" style = "width: 800px">
</div>
</body>
Js Code:
var slideIndex = 1;
function plusDivs(n) {
showDivs(slideIndex += n);
}
function currentDiv(n) {
showDivs(slideIndex = n);
}
function showDivs(n) {
var i;
var x = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");
//var dots = document.getElementsByClassName("demo");
if (n > x.length) {slideIndex = 1}
if (n < 1) {slideIndex = x.length}
for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
x[i].style.display = "none";
}
x[slideIndex-1].style.display = "block";
}
window.onload=function(){
var dump = document.getElementById("toggle");
var sec = document.createElement("div");
sec.className = "w3-section";
var prev = document.createElement("button");
prev.className = "w3-btn";
prev.addEventListener("click", plusDivs(-1));
prev.innerHTML = "Previous";
var next = document.createElement("button");
next.className = "w3-btn";
next.addEventListener("click", plusDivs(1));
next.innerHTML = "Next";
sec.appendChild(prev);
sec.appendChild(next);
dump.appendChild(sec);
showDivs(slideIndex);
};
The buttons were working when created in the html file, but once I created them using js they got created but the onclick function doesn't work..
In case of passing parameters, bind it like prev.addEventListener("click", function() { plusDivs(-1) });
Here is an Example:
var slideIndex = 1;
function plusDivs(n) {
showDivs(slideIndex += n);
}
function currentDiv(n) {
showDivs(slideIndex = n);
}
function showDivs(n) {
var i;
var x = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");
if (n > x.length) {
slideIndex = 1
}
if (n < 1) {
slideIndex = x.length
}
for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
x[i].style.display = "none";
}
x[slideIndex - 1].style.display = "block";
}
window.onload = function() {
var dump = document.getElementById("toggle");
var sec = document.createElement("div");
sec.className = "w3-section";
var prev = document.createElement("button");
prev.className = "w3-btn";
prev.addEventListener("click", function() {
plusDivs(-1)
});
prev.innerHTML = "Previous";
var next = document.createElement("button");
next.className = "w3-btn";
next.addEventListener("click", function() {
plusDivs(1)
});
next.innerHTML = "Next";
sec.appendChild(prev);
sec.appendChild(next);
dump.appendChild(sec);
showDivs(slideIndex);
};
