Question

Answer 1

A:

You need to use an approach similar to this: http://www.sohtanaka.com/web-design/automatic-image-slider-w-css-jquery/

You could also see the code that is being used to slide the image thumbnails left and right here: http://www.skandium.com/product-viewer.asp?id=1400

some code for your scenario based on code from the second site:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <style type="text/css">
.menuTabs {
    float: left;
    width: 284px;
    overflow:hidden;
    position:relative;
    height:50px;
}

.img-reel { position:absolute; left:0; top:0; height:50px; }

.mtabArrowLeft {
    float: left;
    height: 25px;
    width: 35px;
    margin-left: 15px;
    margin-right: 4px;
}

.mtabArrowRight {
    float: left;
    height: 25px;
    width: 35px;
    margin-left: 3px;
    margin-right: 15px;

}

.menutabBTN {
    float: left;
    height: 25px;
    width: 65px;
    margin-right: 3px;
    margin-left: 3px;
    padding: 0px;
    border-top-width: 0px;
    border-right-width: 0px;

Answer 2

+1 A:

http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/scrollable/index.html

Scrollable is a versatile and fool-proof solution to do sliders... check out the tutorial (and download the script) from the above link– this HTML / CSS / jQuery is taken pretty much directly from the site.

You'll have to change the widths of the elements in the CSS to suit your design. Hope that helps.

HTML

<div class="mtabArrowLeft prev left">Left</div>

    <div class="menuTabs scrollable">       
         <div class="items">
           <input class="menutabBTN" name="" type="button" value="a" />
           <input class="menutabBTN" name="" type="button" value="b" />
           <input class="menutabBTN" name="" type="button" value="c" />
           <input class="menutabBTN" name="" type="button" value="d" />
           <input class="menutabBTN" name="" type="button" value="e" />
           <input class="menutabBTN" name="" type="button" value="f"/>   
         </div>
    </div>

    <div class="mtabArrowRight next right">Right</div>

CSS

.scrollable {
    position:relative;
    overflow:hidden;
    width: 660px;
    height:90px;
}

.scrollable .items {
    width:20000em;
    position:absolute;
}

.items input {
    float:left;
}

jQuery

$(function() {

    // initialize scrollable
    $(".scrollable").scrollable();

});
