My page's content is toggled using different links, showing one div
at a time using a jQuery 'showonlyone' function. On loading the page, none of the divs should be displayed. I got it working fine, until i tried to put a picture slider (bxSlider) within one of the divs, newboxes1
.
Outside the box, the bxSlider works fine. Within it, the pictures don't show. See live example here.
Here's what my code looks like :
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showonlyone(thechosenone) {
$('.newboxes').each(function(index) {
if ($(this).attr("id") == thechosenone) {
$(this).show();
}
else {
$(this).hide();
}
});
}</script>
</script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery.bxSlider.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(function(){
var slider = $('#slidersample').bxSlider({
mode:'fade',
controls: false
});
$('#bx-prev-sample').click(function(){
slider.goToPreviousSlide();
return false;
});
$('#hover-next-g-sample').click(function(){
slider.goToPreviousSlide();
return false;
});
$('#bx-next-sample').click(function(){
slider.goToNextSlide();
return false;
});
$('#hover-next-d-sample').click(function(){
slider.goToNextSlide();
return false;
});
});
});
</script>
</head>

</ul>

</body>
</html>
I use
.newboxes {display:none;}
in the CSS so none of the divs are showing when the page is loading. Removing this from the CSS solves the bxSlider issue, as you can see here. However, the content is shown when the page is loaded, while I want all of it to be hidden. Any attempt to use display:block
or display:none
elsewhere in the code has been unsuccessful.
Can anyone think of a way to fix this? Thank you.
I had the similar problem with bxSlider plugin: when the DIV that contained it was initially hidden display:none
, the slideshow would not appear when I make the DIV visible $('#div-id').show();
. Only slideshow control buttons appeared. Then I solved the problem like this:
<script>
var mySlider;
$(function() {
mySlider = $('#slider').bxSlider({
easing: 'easeInCubic',
displaySlideQty: 3,
moveSlideQty: 1,
infiniteLoop: false,
hideControlOnEnd: true
});
$("#processSignUp").click(function() { // button that sets the DIV visible
$("#trainings-slide").show(); // DIV that contain SLIDER
mySlider.reloadSlider(); // Reloads the slideshow (bxSlider API function)
});
});
</script>
As you can see I reloaded the slideshow just after the DIV (that contain the slider) was showed and it worked perfectly. Maybe that can help to solve your problems and to avoid using visibility:hidden and other tricks.
