Orbit: A Simple and Slick jQuery Slider
It feels like I am constantly wading through image slider plugins in search of the most versatile one for me. This time I feel like I have gotten closer to being able to stick with one. Orbit is a neat jQuery plugin that out of the box looks great on your page and uses a very simple markup.
After including the orbit files in the header of your page, all you need is a very simple markup that actually goes very well with the markup you might already have written prior to implementing the slider. Since Orbit is coded in a way that it determines the width and height of your images automatically you don’t need to add any special CSS to your stylesheet (other than including the orbit css).
What I like the most about Orbit so far is that it is simple and doesn’t interfere. I normally write my code first and include the slider later and I hate having to go in and add the necessary slider container CSS myself. With orbit, I don’t need to worry about that as the plugin will do that for me.
You can go and check out Orbit over on its project website where you’ll also find all documentation and instructions.
