As you may know, a region is actually a div. With the region type plug-in you can customize this div. And because it is a plug-in, you can reuse it in other pages. You also have the possibility to make the div look better by using JavaScript libraries. In this recipe we will make a carousel with switching panels. The panels can contain images but they can also contain data from a table. We will make use of another jQuery extension, Step Carousel.
You can download stepcarousel.js
from http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/stepcarousel.htm. However, in order to get this recipe work in APEX, we needed to make a slight modification in it. So, stepcarousel.js
, arrowl.gif
, and arrow.gif
are included in this book.
