Explanation and Key Improvements:
- HTML Structure: Sets up the container, slider, individual slides, and navigation buttons. Uses image placeholders; replace
"image1.jpg", etc. with your actual image URLs. - CSS Styling:
.slider-container: Provides the fixed width and hides overflowing slide content..slider: Usesdisplay: flexandtransitionfor the sliding animation..slide:min-width: 100%ensures each slide occupies the full width of the container.flex-shrink: 0prevents slides from shrinking if the container is too narrow..slider-nav: Positions the navigation buttons absolutely over the slider.- Responsive Design Considerations: The
widthof the.slider-containeris currently fixed. For responsive behavior, consider using percentage widths or viewport units (e.g.,vw).
- JavaScript Logic: This code handles the actual sliding functionality:
