I am learning jQuery and I want to implement an image randomizer.
I have a list of images that need to be displayed. I want them to be displayed randomly.
This is what I have implemented, but it sill has not satisfied me:
/** Initialisierung*/
function showFotos() {
// Nummern der Bilder im Verzeichnis 'images'
start_nr = 1;
end_nr = 5;
// Bilder eventuell vorladen
for (i=start_nr; i<=end_nr; i++ ) {
preload_img = new Image();
preload_img.src = 'images/' + i + '.jpg';
}
// #show-1, #show-2, #show-3 bekommen einen zunächst 'leeren' img-tag mit den Dimensionen der Bilder zugefügt
$('#show-1').append('<img src="" width="250" height="250" />');
// Diese Function wird einmalig aufgerufen und somit Start-Bilder initialisiert
randomize();
}
// Random Funktion -> kleinster, grösster Wert
function randomXToY(minVal,maxVal,floatVal) {
var randVal = minVal+(Math.random()*(maxVal-minVal));
return typeof floatVal=='undefined'?Math.round(randVal):randVal. toFixed(floatVal);
}
// die 'Slotmachine'
function randomize() {
// die fünf Slots
for (i=1; i<=5; i++ ) {
// Zufallszahl
num = randomXToY(start_nr, end_nr);
// Zufallszahl = Bildnummer
$('#show-' + i + ' img').attr('src', 'images/' + num + '.jpg');
}
This is what I want:
When I click on "continue", the next image will be displayed.
When I click on back, the further image will be displayed.
How can I do it?

UPDATE!!!! I solved the problem!!!
