Multiple HTML/CSS only sliders on one page not changing independently

I am writing a blog post for a friend of mine, on the ghost platform. This blog post is going to be a very long post about multiple different objects, each requiring their own image slider. I'd like to re-use the same CSS for all 20 or so sliders on the page, only changing the html. I followed a slider tutorial online, that created a html/css only slider, as Ghost doesnt support scripting in their individual blog posts.

Unfortunately, when i click on one thumbnail, the image in all the other sliders disapears, and is only shown in that particular slider, making scrolling down the page a very boring experience.

Anyone able to spot the error? Here is an excerpt using only two sliders. take a look at the result further down:

<style>
* {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
body {background: #ccc;}

.slider{
	width: 640px; 
	position: relative;
	padding-top: 320px; 
	margin: 100px auto;
	box-shadow: 0 10px 20px -5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);
}

.slider>img{
	position: absolute;
	left: 0; top: 0;
	transition: all 0.2s;
}

.slider input[name='slide_switch'] {
	display: none;
}

.slider label {
	margin: 18px 0 0 18px;
	border: 3px solid #999;
	float: left;
	cursor: pointer;
	transition: all 0.5s;
	opacity: 0.6;
}

.slider label img{
	display: block;
}

.slider input[name='slide_switch']:checked+label {
	border-color: #666;
	opacity: 1;
}
.slider input[name='slide_switch'] ~ img {
	opacity: 0;
	transform: scale(1.1);
}
.slider input[name='slide_switch']:checked+label+img {
	opacity: 1;
	transform: scale(1);
}
</style>

Solution

  • All of your radio buttons have the same name, so they're all considered a part of the same group. Only one radio button can be active in any one group. Each group should have a different name so they are grouped separately. Doing so will affect your current CSS but changing your attribute selector from name= to name^= or name*= will allow you to give each radio button set a different name. In the example below, we appended _1 to the second set.

    * {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

body {
  background: #ccc;
}

.slider {
  width: 640px;
  position: relative;
  padding-top: 320px;
  margin: 100px auto;
  box-shadow: 0 10px 20px -5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);
}

.slider>img {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  transition: all 0.2s;
}

.slider input[name^='slide_switch'] {
  display: none;
}

.slider label {
  margin: 18px 0 0 18px;
  border: 3px solid #999;
  float: left;
  cursor: pointer;
  transition: all 0.5s;
  opacity: 0.6;
}

.slider label img {
  display: block;
}

.slider input[name^='slide_switch']:checked+label {
  border-color: #666;
  opacity: 1;
}

.slider input[name^='slide_switch']~img {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: scale(1.1);
}

.slider input[name^='slide_switch']:checked+label+img {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: scale(1);
}
