Carousel View

Hi,

 

I want to display a list of items in carousel view.

 

I tried in html and was able to do that using jquery java scripts and styles. (http://sorgalla.com/projects/jcarousel/#Examples)

 

Could any one please explain me how can we develop a carousel view using apex.

 

Thanks in advanvce.

Why do you have to use Apex tags?  These render HTML anyway so you will get HTML tags on the final page.

You should be able to port your HTML/JQuery solution to visualforce - essentially that's HTML with custom tags and you can add javascript libraries and styles as static resources.

 

I'd suggest you start with a spin through the developer's guide - the Quick Start section should get you started:

Thank you for the reply.

 

We are not able to port the HTML to visualforce, because the javascripts which we used in html conatins the tag names 'ul' and 'li' hardcoded. So, I couldn't get any clue on how to use the tags in apex.

 

So I am looking for a solution to get the carousel view in apex using javascript or jquery ....

 

Could you please help on this.

There's no reason why you can't use the html tags UL and LI in Visualforce.  I have ported HTML pages to VF by simply adding the javascript and css as static resources.

 

You would use apex tags to get at information from your salesforce instance.  You don't need to do this though, you can simply render HTML surrounded by an <apex:page> tag.

Thank you for the reply.

 

Yes. We can render HTML code surrounded by an <apex:page> tag. But my requirement is to use only apex tags and so trying to not use even the UL and LI tags.
