How to pause when you hover over the slider

Question

http://cssglobe.com/post/4004/easy-slider-15-the-easiest-jquery-plugin-for-sliding

I use a simple slider for the banner and I called below script to play

    $("#slider").easySlider({
            auto: true,
            continuous: true,
            nextId: "slider1next",
            prevId: "slider1prev",
            hoverpause: true            });
    });

It glides correctly. But I want to pause the slide while hover over the slide

Answer 1

You need to modify the existing easySlider1.5.js to suit your requirements. As shown in the code, you can add a new parameterhoverpause: true

In easySlider1.5.js you need to add

            hoverpause: false

in the parameters

Also at the end you need to add

   if(options.hoverpause && options.auto){
            $(this).mouseover(function(){
                clearTimeout(timeout);                  
            }).mouseout(function(){
                animate("next",false);                  
            })
}

Here is the full js

(function($) {

    $.fn.easySlider = function(options){

        // default configuration properties
        var defaults = {            
            prevId:         'prevBtn',
            prevText:       'Previous',
            nextId:         'nextBtn',  
            nextText:       'Next',
            controlsShow:   true,
            controlsBefore: '',
            controlsAfter:  '', 
            controlsFade:   true,
            firstId:        'firstBtn',
            firstText:      'First',
            firstShow:      false,
            lastId:         'lastBtn',  
            lastText:       'Last',
            lastShow:       false,              
            vertical:       false,
            speed:          800,
            auto:           false,
            pause:          4000,
            continuous:     false,
            hoverpause:     false
        }; 

        var options = $.extend(defaults, options);  

        this.each(function() {  
            var obj = $(this);              
            var s = $("li", obj).length;
            var w = $("li", obj).width(); 
            var h = $("li", obj).height(); 
            obj.width(w); 
            obj.height(h); 
            obj.css("overflow","hidden");
            var ts = s-1;
            var t = 0;
            $("ul", obj).css('width',s*w);          
            if(!options.vertical) $("li", obj).css('float','left');

            if(options.controlsShow){
                var html = options.controlsBefore;
                if(options.firstShow) html += '<span id="'+ options.firstId +'"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\">'+ options.firstText +'</a></span>';
                html += ' <span id="'+ options.prevId +'"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\">'+ options.prevText +'</a></span>';
                html += ' <span id="'+ options.nextId +'"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\">'+ options.nextText +'</a></span>';
                if(options.lastShow) html += ' <span id="'+ options.lastId +'"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\">'+ options.lastText +'</a></span>';
                html += options.controlsAfter;                      
                $(obj).after(html);                                     
            };

            $("a","#"+options.nextId).click(function(){     
                animate("next",true);
            });
            $("a","#"+options.prevId).click(function(){

            $("a","#"+options.lastId).click(function(){     
                animate("last",true);               
            });     

            function animate(dir,clicked){
                var ot = t;             
                switch(dir){
                    case "next":
                        t = (ot>=ts) ? (options.continuous ? 0 : ts) : t+1;                     
                        break; 
                    case "prev":
                        t = (t<=0) ? (options.continuous ? ts : 0) : t-1;
                        break; 
                    case "first":
                        t = 0;

                    $("ul",obj).animate(

                    };
                    if(t==0){
                        $("a","#"+options.prevId).hide();

                //if(clicked || (options.auto && options.pauseOnHover ) clearTimeout(timeout);
                if(options.auto && dir=="next" && !clicked){;
                    timeout = setTimeout(function(){
                        animate("next",false);
                    },diff*options.speed+options.pause);

            };
            // init
            var timeout;
            if(options.auto){;
                timeout = setTimeout(function(){
                    animate("next",false);
                },options.pause);
            };      
            if(options.hoverpause && options.auto){
                $(this).mouseover(function(){
                    clearTimeout(timeout);                  
                }).mouseout(function(){
                    animate("next",false);                  
                })
            }
            if(!options.continuous && options.controlsFade){                    
                $("a","#"+options.prevId).hide();
                $("a","#"+options.firstId).hide();              
            };              

        });

    };

})(jQuery);

& HTML you can initialize the slider,

$(document).ready(function(){   
            $("#slider").easySlider({
                auto: true,
                continuous: true,
                hoverpause: true
            });
        });

Answer 2

why not:

        if(options.hoverpause && options.auto){
            $(this).hover(function(){
                clearTimeout(timeout);                  
            },function(){
                timeout = setTimeout(function(){
                    animate("next",false);
                },options.pause);
            })
        }

mouseout mouseleave - , :

timeout = setTimeout(function(){
    animate("next",false);
},options.pause);

Answer 4

Thank you so much bnku. The following code fragment worked fine for me, since I just did not want to pause the regular path, I wanted to pause the slider and hold the mouse cursor in the element without moving to the next slide. If you need any help, please feel free to ask.

        if (options.hoverpause && options.auto){
        $('#slider').hover(function(){
                clearTimeout(timeout); 
        },function(){
        animate("next",false);
        });
        };
