jQuery Timeline Slider

Question

Is there a nice, clean jQuery based timeline slider that you would reccomend?

I need simple, easy to use slider.

Would it be easy to do this in pure CSS? Using Overflow?

Answer 1

There are 2 possible libraries you could use.

1. jQuery Tools - Scrollable
2. jQuery UI - Slider

Both of them are customizable (and that is a good point) so that you have to script a little bit to reach what you're looking for. Have a look to see if it's what you want. Both have a very well explained documentation so it's easy to learn.

I suggest you use one of these two rather than trying to do this using CSS-only. Their codes are ready-to-use so you don't have to worry about little and boring things, like the slider algorithm, cross-browser support and so on
