Simple JavaScript & CSS Image Slider with Slice Transition Effect

A simple yet fully customizable JS & CSS image slider which comes with a subtle slice transition effect between slides.

How to use it:

Load the js-image-slider.js into your web page.

<script src="js/js-image-slider.js"></script>

Embed a series of images into the web page as follows.

<div id="slider">
  <a href="#"><img src="1.jpg" alt="Image Caption 1"></a>
  <a href="#"><img src="2.jpg" alt="Image Caption 2"></a>
  <a href="#"><img src="3.jpg" alt="Image Caption 3"></a>
  ...
</div>

The required CSS styles for the image slider.

#slider {
  width: 700px;
  height: 306px;/* Make it the same size as your images */
  background: #fff url(loading.gif) no-repeat 50% 50%;
  position: relative;
  margin: 0 auto;/*make the image slider center-aligned */
  box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px #999999;
}
#slider img {
