How can I make an image carousel with only CSS?

Javascript Problem Overview


I'm looking to make an image carousel, where a user can toggle between images, by clicking on arrows. For example:

image of an image carousel

However, I can only use HTML and CSS—no JavaScript (and, therefore, jQuery). I just need the basic setup; smooth transitions and the like are not necessary.

How can I go about accomplishing this?

Solution 1 - Javascript

That's easy! Just use radio buttons and targeted labels.

Radio buttons have the (necessary) behavior of only allowing one to be selected at any one time—just like an image in our carousel.

div.wrap2 {
  float: left;
  height: 500px;
  width: 422px;
}
div.group input {
  display: none;

  position: absolute;
  top: -100%;
}
div.group input ~ div.content {
  border: solid 1px black;
  display: none;
  height: 350px;
  margin: 0px 60px;
  position: relative;
  width: 300px;

div.group input:checked ~ div.content {

div.group input:checked ~ label.previous,
div.group input:checked ~ label.next {

#TLDR: Important notes

  • Make sure at least one input(type="radio") is checked by default, or the whole carousel will be hidden.
  • Hide the input radios and use labels as the previous/next buttons
  • Make sure the labels correctly target the previous/next radio input (see labels section at the end on how to do the targeting)
  • Show an image when its corresponding input radio is :checked
  • Use cute kitten pictures

#Explanation

Here's what the basic HTML structure should look like:

div#holder
    div.group
        input(type="radio")
        label.previous
        label.next
        div.content
            img
    div.group
        // ... repeat as necessary

div#holder will hold all of our content in place. Then, we'll group our radio buttons, labels, and images all under a div.group. This makes sure our radio inputs don't suffer from destructive interference (pun).

#The key is in the selectors (and the labels—make sure to read that section)

First, we'll hide our radio buttons—they're ugly anyway:

div.group input {
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    top: -100%;
    left: -100%;
}

We won't ever have to click the radio buttons. Instead, we'll style our labels and add targets (for properties), so that they redirect the click to the appropriate radio input block.

Most of our labels should be hidden:

div.group label {
    display: none;
}

(I will omit all aesthetic styling, so as to make the styling easier to understand. You can see the better-looking version in the stack snippet.)

Except for those next to a radio input that is toggled on, or :checked

div.group input:checked ~ label.previous,
div.group input:checked ~ label.next {
    display: block;
}

In addition, the div.content following a checked input should also be displayed:

div.group input:checked ~ div.content {
    display: block;
}

However, when the radio button is not checked, div.content should be hidden:

div.group input ~ div.content {
    display: none;
    position: relative;
}

Bazinga! Now our carousel should be fully mostly functional, albeit a little ugly. Let's move our labels to the correct position:

label.previous { float: left; }
label.next { float: right; }

And center our images within their respective divs:

img {
    left: 0;
    margin: 0 auto;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
}

#The last step is how you set up your labels:

<input type="radio" id="1">
<label class="previous" for="0">&lt;</label>
<label class="next" for="2">&gt;</label>

Note how, given a radio input with an id of n, the label.previous will have a for attribute of (n - 1) % M and the label.next will have a for attribute of (n + 1) % M, where M is the number of images in the carousel.

##Extra

If you're using Jade (or some other template engine), you can set it up with a simple for-loop like this:

div.wrap2
    - var imgs = [[200, 286], [200, 139], [140, 200], [200, 287], [96, 139]];
    - for (var i = 0; i < imgs.length; i++)
        div.group
            input(type="radio" name="test" id="#{i}" value="#{i}" checked="#{input == 3}")
            label(for="#{(i - 1 + imgs.length) % imgs.length}").previous &lt;
            label(for="#{(i + 1) % imgs.length}").next &gt;
            div.content
                p panel ##{i}
                img(src="http://placekitten.com/g/#{imgs[i].join('/')}"
                    height="#{imgs[i][1]}"
                    width="#{imgs[i][0]}"
                )

Solution 3 - Javascript

Inspired by royhowie I ended up with a much simpler solution if it comes to HTML syntax. Also, with nice animation and fully customizable!

The main idea was to create the arrows not by placing them in HTML one by one, but by creating and then carefully positioning pseudoelements.

* {
    -ms-box-sizing: border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;

    -moz-user-select: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;

}
.CSS_slideshow[data-show-indicators="true"][data-indicators-position="in"] {
    -webkit-margin-after: -25px; /* Removes the space under the slideshow. Webkit only as only Webkit-based browsers will support the dots in the wrapper */
}
/* Defines animation timing function */
.CSS_slideshow[data-animation-style] {
    -moz-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
    -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
    transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
}
    /* Inherit all animation properties from parent element */
    .CSS_slideshow[data-animation-style] *,
    .CSS_slideshow[data-show-buttons="true"][data-animation-style] label:before,
    .CSS_slideshow[data-show-buttons="true"][data-animation-style] label:after {

Solution 6 - Javascript

Why not making it smooth and nice looking with only CSS?

> Picnic CSS 4.0 Tabs

This is part of a library I created, Picnic CSS. However, that jsfiddle includes the library and all of the plugins for the next version (4.0 is being finished now). You can see the current 3.x version of the same plugin here, which also fulfills all of your requirements, but it's not so smooth as I'd like:

> Picnic CSS 3.x Tabs

Right now you can only see the scss source code in the dev branch but it is scheduled to be released in the following days, so I'll update my answer.

Some code please! This is the HTML that you need for the 4.0 version, as others commented, you basically play with <input type='radio'> and <label> to achieve the desired effect:

<div class="tabs three" style="text-align: center;">
  <input id='tabC-1' type='radio' name='tabgroupC' checked />
  <label class="pseudo button" for="tabC-1">1</label><input id='tabC-2' type='radio' name='tabgroupC'>
  <label class="pseudo button" for="tabC-2">2</label><input id='tabC-3' type='radio' name='tabgroupC'>
  <label class="pseudo button" for="tabC-3">3</label>
  <div class="row" style="text-align: left;">
    <div>
      <div class="card" style="margin: 10px 20px;">
        <header>
          <h3>Super important notice!</h3>
        </header>
        <p>Thank you for registering! By doing so you agree to the <a href="#">Terms and conditions</a></p>
        <footer>
          <label class="button" for="tabC-2">Agree</label>
        </footer>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div>
      <div class="card" style="margin: 10px 20px;">
        <header>
          <h3>Your basic data</h3>
        </header>
        <section>
          <input type="text" placeholder="Full Name">
        </section>
        <section>
          <div class="select">
            <select>
              <option>Where did you find us?</option>
              <option>Facebook</option>
              <option>Twitter</option>
              <option>Linkedin</option>
            </select>
          </div>
        </section>
        <footer>
          <label class="button" for="tabC-3">Next</label>
          <label class="button dangerous" for="tabC-1">Back</label>
        </footer>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div>
      <div class="card" style="margin: 10px 20px;">
        <header>
          <h3>Create account</h3>
        </header>

          <input type="email" placeholder="Email">

        <section>
          <input type="password" placeholder="Password">
        </section>
        <footer>
          <button class="success">Finish!</button>
          <label class="button dangerous" for="tabC-2">Back</label>
        </footer>
