The jQuery Cycle Plugin is a lightweight slideshow plugin. Its implementation is based on the JQueryInnerFade Plugin by Torsten Baldes, the Slideshow Plugin by Matt Oakes, and the jqShuffle Plugin by Benjamin Sterling. It supports pause-on-hover, auto-stop, auto-fit, before/after callbacks, click triggers and many transition effects. It also supports, but does not require, the Metadata Plugin and the Easing Plugin.

Usage

Add the jqCycle class to the container holding the elements to be cycled.

Commands

The cycle function can be passed a command string in the form:

$('#slideshow').cycle('command');

The following command strings are supported:

'pause'   // pauses the slideshow, slideshow can be resumed with 'resume' command 
'resume'  // resumes a paused slideshow 
'toggle'  // toggles the pause/resume state of the slideshow 
'next'    // advances slideshow to next slide 
'prev'    // advances slideshow to previous slide 
'stop'    // stops the slideshow 
'destroy' // stops the slideshow and unbinds all events 

Options

The following default options are provided by the plugin. They can be overridden by passing an options object to the cycle method, by using metadata on the container element, or by redefining these values in your own code. Lots of cool effects can be achieved by taking advantage of these options, but none of them are required. So override the ones you like and ignore the ones you don't care about.

// override these globally if you like (they are all optional) 
$.fn.cycle.defaults = { 
        activePagerClass: 'activeSlide', // class name used for the active pager link
        after:             null,  // transition callback (scope set to element that was shown):  function(currSlideElement, nextSlideElement, options, forwardFlag)
        allowPagerClickBubble: false, // allows or prevents click event on pager anchors from bubbling
        animIn:            null,  // properties that define how the slide animates in
        animOut:           null,  // properties that define how the slide animates out
        aspect:            false,  // preserve aspect ratio during fit resizing, cropping if necessary (must be used with fit option)
        autostop:          0,     // true to end slideshow after X transitions (where X == slide count)
        autostopCount:     0,         // number of transitions (optionally used with autostop to define X)
        backwards:         false, // true to start slideshow at last slide and move backwards through the stack
        before:            null,  // transition callback (scope set to element to be shown):     function(currSlideElement, nextSlideElement, options, forwardFlag)

        cleartype:         !$.support.opacity,  // true if clearType corrections should be applied (for IE)
        cleartypeNoBg: false, // set to true to disable extra cleartype fixing (leave false to force background color setting on slides)
        containerResize:   1,       // resize container to fit largest slide
        continuous:        0,     // true to start next transition immediately after current one completes

        cssBefore:         null,  // properties that define the initial state of the slide before transitioning in
        delay:             0,     // additional delay (in ms) for first transition (hint: can be negative)
        easeIn:            null,  // easing for "in" transition
        easeOut:           null,  // easing for "out" transition
        easing:            null,  // easing method for both in and out transitions
