How to stop image slider after one loop using jquery?

I bought a html template in themeforest and customized. It has a slider with 3 images. I want to stop the slider after completing 1 loop.
<div id="slider" data-auto="true">
<div id="slide1"><img></div>
<div id="slide2"><img></div>
<div id="slide3"><img></div>
</div>
Now I want to change parent div's attribute to false when slide3 div loads. I'm trying this now.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#slide3").load(function(){
$("slider").attr("data-auto", false);
});
});
</script>

I believe data-auto tag simply starts the slider automatically. try searching options like loop: into the js init script to disable slider looping

Fading Images with links

I have this code for the header
<div id="header">
<IMG SRC="http://danithemes.fanscity.eu/shugar/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/header-principal.png">
</div>
And this code for the main menu
<div id="menu">
Link One,
Link Two,
Link Three
</div>
I want the header image to fade into another image through the main menu links. Is this possible? Thanks.

First of all most W3C folks will get mad at you for this line <div id="header">
Anything syntactically named with an id the same as a generic HTML object tag needs to just be that tag. Anything good enough to give an id of id='header' should probably just be a <header> tag.
Secondly, I am unsure what the question is asking fully so let's go with something not yet said. #Parody showed a fiddled way of having the images change on click. The part of your question that said I want the header image to fade into another image through the main menu links. Is this possible? is difficult to understand so I am going to assume that you want some kind of event to trigger the changing of the images? There are many ways to do this but the best of which (especially for beginning programmers) is to use Bootstrap version 3.0+ since it comes with HTML driven stuff that usually requires JavaScript/JQuery to accomplish.
If you don't want to use Bootstrap then that's fine here is an example of how to use a hover event to trigger the change using JQuery...
HTML
<div id="header">
<img src="http://danithemes.fanscity.eu/shugar/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/header-principal.png" />
</div>
<div id="menu">
Link One
Link Two
Link Three
</div>
JAVASCRIPT/JQUERY
$(".navLink").each(function() {
$(this).hover(function() {
$("#header img").css({"background-image":"url($(this).attr('data-image'))"});
});
});

JS - Toggle all DIVs

My issue involves multiple DIVs that display:block or display:none each with their own anchor tag. The main problem is that I have recommissioned the JS code that runs this feature without completely understanding it. All I need is a way to toggle all of the DIVs with a single "Show All/Hide All" link. I cannot wrap my head around it.
I have tried absolutely everything that my exceptionally limited grasp will allow - which consists mostly of swinging my arms in the dark and hoping I accidently build a miracle. Since that hasn't worked I am shamefully seeking help.
The only thing that makes this question unique are all the variables with this specific issue -
An (almost) working example can be found at: www.robertmeans.com/menu.htm
The JS code:
imageX01='plus';
imageX02='plusEven';
function toggleOdd(ee){
imgX="imagePM"+ee;
divX="div"+ee;
imageX="imageX"+ee;
divLink="divHref"+ee;
imageXval=eval("imageX"+ee);
element = document.getElementById(divX).style;
if (element.display=='none') {element.display='block';}
else {element.display='none';}
if (imageXval=='plus') {document.getElementById(imgX).src='_images/minus.gif';eval("imageX"+ee+"='minus';");document.getElementById(divLink).title='Hide Content';}
else {document.getElementById(imgX).src='_images/plus.gif';eval("imageX"+ee+"='plus';");document.getElementById(divLink).title='Show Content';}
}
function toggleEven(ee){
imgX="imagePM"+ee;
divX="div"+ee;
imageX="imageX"+ee;
divLink="divHref"+ee;
imageXval=eval("imageX"+ee);
element = document.getElementById(divX).style;
if (element.display=='none') {element.display='block';}
else {element.display='none';}
if (imageXval=='plusEven') {document.getElementById(imgX).src='_images/minusEven.gif';eval("imageX"+ee+"='minusEven';");document.getElementById(divLink).title='Hide Content';}
else {document.getElementById(imgX).src='_images/plusEven.gif';eval("imageX"+ee+"='plusEven';");document.getElementById(divLink).title='Show Content';}
}
The HTML
<div id="task_item01">
<img src="_images/plus.gif" alt="" name="imagePM01" width="33" height="33" border="0" class="task_itemPlusImage" id="imagePM01" />
Div #1
</div>
<div style="display:none;" id="div01">
Content 1
</div>
<!-- ******************************** Item 1 End **************************** -->
<!-- ******************************** Item 2 Start ************************** -->
<div id="task_item02">
<img src="_images/plusEven.gif" alt="" name="imagePM01" width="33" height="33" border="0" class="task_itemPlusImage" id="imagePM02" />
Div #2
</div>
<div style="display:none;" id="div02">
Content 2
</div>
I have spent countless hours trying to work this out on my own. Any help is deeply appreciated.

Ok first of all, it seems like way too much code to me... you can do this very easily by using jQuery. I have made an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/Nr2f6/4/
Here is some simple html to help you better understand what is being done:
<div id="item-1"><span class="plus"></span>Open these items</div>
<div class="contents" data-rel="item-1">
I have superb items in this div... the world is about to understand just how awesome I am!
</div>
<div id="item-2"><span class="plus"></span>Open these other items</div>
<div class="contents" data-rel="item-2">
I have amazing contents in this div. I want to show them to the world!
</div>
as you can see above, there is no inline css. All the styling (display: none) should be placed separately, to not conflict with what you are trying to do. So simply place it in a separate css file.Then run this code:
$("div[id^=item]").click(function(){
var reference2open = $(this).attr("id");
//get the data-rel attribute associated
$("div[data-rel='"+reference2open+"']").slideToggle();
$("span",this).toggleClass('minus');
});
$("#all").click(function(){
if($(this).hasClass('close')){
$("div[data-rel^=item]").slideUp();
$("div[id^=item] span").removeClass('minus');
$("#all").removeClass('close');
$("#all").html('open them all');
}else{
//open and close them all by clicking
$("div[data-rel^=item]").each(function(){
if($(this).is(':hidden')){
$(this).slideDown();
$("div[id^=item] span").addClass('minus');
$("#all").html('close them all');
}
});
//change the button to close
$("#all").addClass('close');
}
//$("div[id^=item] span").toggleClass('minus');
});
****ADDED IN THE TOGGLE PLUS AND MINUS SIGNS USING CSS****
.plus{
background: url(http://www.robertmeans.com/offsite_files/code_help/_images/plus.gif);
width: 33px;
height: 33px;
display: inline-block;
}
.minus{
background: url(http://www.robertmeans.com/offsite_files/code_help/_images/minus.gif);
width: 33px;
height: 33px;
display: inline-block;
}
Do not forget to include your jQuery file! Hope this helps :)
Just wanted to add in some details for better understanding:
div[id^=item]: Is saying whenever a div is clicked that has an id that starts with (^=) item, run the code.
$("div[data-rel='"+reference2open+"']").slideToggle(): is saying take the id from the div that was clicked and find the content box where with the same name but in the data-rel attribute. The slide it down, if it is already down, slide it back up (toggle). You do not have to use a slide effect, I just thought it was more fun!
Then last but not least, the function you were looking for: How to open them all at once. Again we are using the (^=) to find all of the divs.
$("div[data-rel^=item").slideToggle();: So here we are saying to jQuery, hey toggle all the boxes that have a data-rel attribute that starts with (^=) item.
This last part is pretty neat, because you can create many instances of the item-? boxes and this code will work for any number of them. You can also add the same code to a different div, like even and odd, and toggle all the even and all the odd elements accordingly.

You could assign a specific class to all the things you want to toggle, then loop through all of them with a toggle function.

Stacked jQuery UI accordions not resizing

Be gentle I am new to this web dev game. I'm just trying to learn.
CODE:
<h4>Monday</h4>
<div id="first_accordian">
<h5>First Section</h5>
<div>
Some stuff.
</div>
<h5>Second Section</h5>
<div>
Some stuff.
</div>
</div>
<h4>Tuesday</h4>
<div id="second_accordian">
<h5>First Section</h5>
<div>
Some stuff.
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("[id$=_accordian]").accordion({ collapsible: true, active: false });
});
</script>
Obviously this is just a simplification of a partial view I have in and ASP.NET MVC3 app. But I am using jQuery UI and the accordion widget, so you will need to reference those for the code above to work.
QUESTION:
I have an issue here that when I expand an accordion element it will overlay any HTML underneath it. The behaviour I want is that I have a set of stacked accordions that all shift up or down when any element is selected in any of the accordions.
Does anyone know how I can do this with stacked accordions? Or thinking laterally. Is there any way I can add static headers that aren't accordion elements inline to the accordion (show above as the headers above each accordion; Monday, Tuesday)?
Is there are resizing event of something I should bind to? I'm at a loss as to where to start, any pointers welcome!
EDIT: Have just copied my own code into a file to check and experiment... and it works exactly how I need it to. But it doesn't in my app. So I'm guessing this must be down to something else going on outside of my code.
So... New question: What could stop something from resizing and creating this overlay problem?

Javascript show/hide: How to set to Show

I have the following code:
<a class="button" href="javascript:ShowHide('elaborate_1')" style="font-size:24px; padding:0 10px; margin-left:10px;">COLLAPSE</a>
<div id="elaborate_1" class="expandable-box" style="display:none;">
<div class="description"><?php //USE THIS CLASS 'description' ON A 'div' TAG FOR A GRAY BOX TO DISPLAY CONTENT ?>
<p class="nomargin nopadding">HELLO</p>
</div><!-- .descpription -->
</div>
The web page currently hides this message "hello" until I click "COLLAPSE" however I want the content to be shown automatically until I click "collapse.
How can I do this?

Change the display:none to display:block on your elaborate_1 div.

Remove the display:none from the containing element:
<div id="elaborate_1" class="expandable-box">
If your ShowHide function is correct, it should work just like that. If not, you should post the code from the function.

Just remove style="display:none;" from your html element
and add following code to your js function (for reference)
document.getElementById("elaborate_1").style.display = "block";
Personally I would suggest taking a look at JQuery. It allows you to take advantage of controlling various effects, like show, hide, toggle, fade, and custom animation, etc. Here is the link: http://api.jquery.com/category/effects/ which might be useful to you.
A little Jquery sample code:
$('a.button').click(function(){
$('#elaborate_1').toggle("slow");
});
