having trouble position my arrows with unslider jQuery plugin

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22624665

Question

I was following the documentation of unslider to develop a slidershow with dots and arrows.

The dots I already have working like I want, but the arrows I´m having some issues.

I´m not having sucess align the left arrow to the left of my slider and the right arrow to the right of my slide. I already did many tests but nothing is working.

Do you know how we can do this with unslider plugin?

What I´m trying: http://jsfiddle.net/jcak/RJqw8/

My html:

<section id="banner-container">

    <div class="banner">

        <ul>
           <li style="background-color:red;  height:500px;">This is another slide.</li>
            <li style="background-color:green;  height:500px;">This is another slide.</li>
           <li style="background-color:blue;  height:500px;">This is another slide.</li>   
        </ul>
        <a href="#" class="unslider-arrow prev"></a>
        <a href="#" class="unslider-arrow next"></a>
    </div>

</section>

My CSS:

  #banner-container
    {
        width:100%;
        float:left;
    }


    .banner
    {   position: relative; 
        overflow: auto;
        width: 100%;
    }

    .banner li
    {
        list-style:none;
        background-repeat:no-repeat;
        background-size:cover;
    }

    .banner ul li
    { 
        float: left;
    }

    .banner ul li img
    {   width:100%;
        height:220px;
    }
    .banner .dots 
    {   margin-left:50%;
        bottom: 10px;
        left: 0;
        position: absolute;
        right: 0;
        display:none;
    }

    .banner:hover .dots 
    {
        display:block;
    }

    .banner .dots li
    { 
        border: 2px solid #fff;
        border-radius: 6px;
        cursor: pointer; 
        display: inline-block;
        height: 10px;
        margin: 0 4px;
        opacity: .4; 
        text-indent: -999em; 
        -webkit-transition: background .5s, opacity .5s;
        -moz-transition: background .5s, opacity .5s;
        transition: background .5s, opacity .5s; width: 10px;
    }

    .banner .dots li.active 
    { 
        background: #fff;
        opacity: 1;
    }

.arrows .prev {
    position: relative;
    top: -136px;
}
.arrows .next {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 109px;
}

My jQuery:

$(function() {
    $('.banner').unslider({

        speed: 2000,
        delay: 2000,
        fluid: true,
        dots: true,
        arrows: true,
        pause: true


    });
});
Was it helpful?

Solution

The problem your facing is that your CSS code is not adressing the < a >s because they have a different className. Two options:

#1 - Switch the classNames in your CSS file:

.unslider-arrow.prev {...}
.unslider-arrow.next {...}

#2 - Switch the classes in the < a >s to the ones you're using in your CSS file:

<a href="#" class="arrow prev"></a>
<a href="#" class="arrow next"></a>

However, when using the second option, you have to change the relations in your CSS to:

.arrow.prev {}
.arrow.next {}
