jQuery ResponsiveSlides - How to start Slider with last picture in <ul> - javascript

I am currently using responsiveSlides
as an image slider on our web page.
It is a jQuery slider using an HTML unsorted list of images to slide through (automatically in my case).
Now the Issue i am having is, that before the slider actually starts (meaning the script is loaded) there is the last picture in the unsorted list displayed, for a short moment. Then the slider starts his work with the first image in that list.
I tried using a minified version of the js-file, and load that script at the very beginning of my HTML markup. This actually shortened the display time of the last picture, but it is still noticeable and annoying. (This happens with every click on a navigation point, as the page is loading new...)
Also i experimented with timeout function (js) to display the unsorted list containing div after some miliseconds, or on document.ready state, etc..
But all of theses attempts where ugly.
So now i am at the point, where i try to understand how the whole slider script is working, and i assume there must be a point, where i can set to start with the last picture in my unsorted list, instead of starting with the first one, but i just can't find that point in the code.
I couldn't manage to post the code here with proper syntax highlighting, so you can find the code here
Any ideas are much appreciated!

As I see on their demo page, sliding happens because of changing z-index, so slides like a pie.
In you slider you may see the last slide while script is initializing because of already applied CSS, but not JS yet.
I'd suggest to add opacity: 0; in CSS to all your slides. When JS will be ready, it'll add opacity: 1; itself.

I'm Not a Javascript Expert .. How Can I Make a Jquery Carousel's Image Slide One By One?

I almost have no experience with JAVASCRIPT, so I've searched a lot for a carousel with right & left arrows & lightbox (fancybox). & finally I found it ... but when I click left or right arrow , the all images row slide left or right. I need it to slide normally one image by one. How can I modify that, please ?
Here is an image describe how the carousel look
I already done with copying the carousel to my website, but the only issue is that the all images row slide left & right ... so when the user click left, the current four images got replaced with the next four images.
it's hard to write all needed codes here, I think the others Javascript files make effect on the final result. So, I attached all the needed files.Website's Files
First, I recommend you practice implementing the carousel following this instruction (be sure that you incorporate Bootstrap 4 accordingly).
https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/carousel/#with-controls
My experience with carousel is that you would have to nest <div> deep in each image to control their placement and sliding. I had to create container per image for my carousel, so that was at least three levels deep. If you only use images alone per slide, you may be able to just use div containers alone.
Now, if you are using LightBox framework as well, then there are likely to be conflicting javascript functions. My suggestion is that if you really want the carousel, to just use images alone, and then style it accordingly by CSS scripts and not use the Lightbox. Otherwise, it is going deep in javascript and make custom adjustments.

GIF slider in flexslider, how to begin the gif only when on slider

Right now I have a flexslider with four slides. The third slider is a gif rather than a jpg like the others.
The issue I am having is that this third gif slider apparently starts immediately when the page is reached as opposed to when you actually get to that slider. By the time one clicks through the first two sliders, the gif is just about finished.
Anyone have any idea as to how I would begin a GIF only when one reaches that
slider?
I finally found the solution for you after one hour of test, add the before function to your declaration code, and change the src of next img to empty and back to the original src do the work, like bellow :
JS :
this code will init the gif just before the display.
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
animation: "slide",
before: function(slider){
var src = $(slider).find('.flex-active-slide').next().find('img').attr('src');
$(slider).find('.flex-active-slide').next().find('img').attr('src','').attr('src',src);
}
});
Its work perfectly for me.
See JS Fiddle (you can notice that the counter in gif always start by 10, without before function you find that the counter is already start), hope that help.
As far as I know, it's not really possible to pause/stop/play GIF animations using code.
The workarounds I know of are...
Some browsers won't start the GIF animation until the element is actually visible on the screen, so you could hide the image until the slide is active and then $('#MyGifImage').show(). You'll need to test how this behaves in various browsers, however.
As suggested in this question you could create image sprites instead of an animated GIF.
Have you tried either of those methods?

Split Ajax animation

I am developing a mobile web application using jQuery and i have been requested to have each page transition into the next with an animation where the page is "split in half", then have the upper part slides up and the bottom part slides down, thus revealing the next page.
I have a small idea, but i dont seem to have the knowledge to get trough:
2 Canvas with display: none, each width width: 100%, height: 50%. - Check
Have the actual display be rendered into said canvas's - I have not the slightest of ideas.
Ajax the next page in a div below both canvas's - Check
Slide the canvas's in the respective directions - Check
Set the canvas's to display: none and restore them to their original positions - Check
Any thoughts? I'm open to use any other framework appart from jQuery, if that's the need. I am also open to change my canvas idea into something else.
EDIT:
As for clarification imagine the page to be a closet, but a vertical one so its doors (the actual page) will slide into the roof and the floor respectively (Its not the greatest of comparisons, but please bear with me) and thus let you see and interact with the content of the closet (The next page). This will go on and on until the application's workflow ends at the last screen, as there will be no back button.
I'm pretty sure I know what you want. You have multiple pages in your registration/form process and instead of having the old fadein/fadeout or sliding effects, you want the top half to slide up and the bottom half to slide down. In order to do this, I'd dump the canvas idea. I don't think that there's an easy way to do it using canvas as of right now. You could try using the html2canvas script, but it's not 100% accurate when it comes to rendering things like this.
As an alternative, I'd recommend using the following process. As a preface, make sure that every step in your form has its own container div (called something obvious like "step-wrap" or "step-container"). Then, when you begin the animation, the first thing to do is to duplicate the current step-wrap, calling it something like step-wrap-animation. Give the original wrap, step-wrap, a height of 50% and position the duplicate below the first with the same height of 50%. Both of the divs should have styling that has an overflow of hidden. Make sure, also, that you set the scrollTop of the duplicate div to scroll to the bottom so that it looks like a continuation of the first div. Everything from here should be smooth sailing.
Second, once you have everything in the first step working, start the animation process. You can do this however you want now that we have the splitting functionality figured out. Make sure that before you start splitting the two divs apart you put the next step behind the previous so that it unravels.
Essentially, what you need to do is:
Duplicate the div
Position both divs (the original and the duplicate) so that both the heights equal 50% and they look like continuations of each other
Animate the top div up, bottom div down
Here's a basic fiddle illustrating how something like this should work. Click on the rendered screen to get the animation going.
Take a look at backbone.js and marionette.js based on backbone.js.
backbone.js is MVC framework where you can define separate views. Marionette is an extension which supports regions and switching views based on whatever you want. Inside switching logic you can easily implement your transitions. Very generic answer but perhaps it will help you to get started.

create image slider that shows part of previous and next image

I'm trying to create a slideshow using jQuery (similar to jquery scrollhorz) but I want the previous and next image partly shown.
Right now, what I have, is a div (with overflow hidden) containing all the images I have. When previous or next button is pressed, I animate the whole div either to left or right. The problem is, if I have many images loaded into the div, it becomes laggy and slow.
What is the best design to implement this image slider?
Without going into the code required, my suggestion would be to use jquery (or moo if that's your thing) to maintain a div that is three to five images long, and keep a list of urls to all the images you want displayed. When you slide the images left or right, you'll pop off the image on the opposite end and add the appropriate image to the other side.
You could use the same technique to loop through the list seamlessly.
Try this.

Using jQuery cycle plugin for slideshow with overflow visible area for slides

So, here is how the slideshow looks.
a[b]cde
In this example, b is the visible part of the slideshow. When b is visible, you can't see a,c,d, or e.
Is it possible that when b is showing, that you can see a preview, or overflow, of the right quarter of a and left quarter of c? These previews would essentially be next and previous buttons that have a translucent background.
I don't want for just the one active slide to show, I want to be able to see a left quarter of the before slide and right quarter of the after slide just before they come in or after they leave, respectively.
I don't know what part of the cycle plugin I need to rewrite or code in order to do this. Is it too hard or difficult to accomplish with the cycle plugin?
The cycle plugin gives numerous callbacks, such as before and after which can probably be used to to add the behavior you described. They are all outlined here: http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/options.html
The before callback is called before a transition happens and is passed currSlideElement and nextSlideElement as parameters.
Using these parameters, you can get a reference to the image that will appear next, or has just appeared and do anything you wish with it. This may mean cloning it and displaying it next to the slideshow.
I'm confident that some combination of before and after callbacks will make this behavior possible.
