Basic Pure CSS Slideshow / Carousel

Preview:

Description:

CSS Carousal is a pure HTML/CSS slideshow which is animated without using Javascript. It uses radio buttons and labels to trigger the slideshow.

How to use it:

Create a list of images for the carousel.

<ul>
  <li class="slide1">
    <img src="1.jpg">
    <h2>Image 1</h2>
  </li>
  <li class="slide1">
    <img src="2.jpeg">
    <h2>Image 2</h2>
  </li>
  <li class="slide1">
    <img src="3.jpg">
    <h2>Image 3</h2>
  </li>
  ...
</ul>

Create radio inputs and labels which will be used to switch between images. The whole markup structure should be like this:

<ul>
  <input type="radio" name="slider" id="1" class="slider" checked>
  <input type="radio" name="slider" id="2" class="slider">
  <input type="radio" name="slider" id="3" class="slider">
  <li class="slide1">
    <img src="1.jpg">
    <h2>Image 1</h2>
  </li>
  <li class="slide1">
    <img src="2.jpeg">
    <h2>Image 2</h2>
  </li>
  <li class="slide1">
    <img src="3.jpg">
    <h2>Image 3</h2>
  </li>
</ul>
<div class="selector">
  <label for="1"></label>
  <label for="2"></label>
  <label for="3"></label>
</div>
