[jQuery] Re: Cycle: replace slide in running slideshow?

All these are Okay. But how will it work if there are huge contents in a
div? Example, 100 rows in a DataGrid?

[jQuery] Re: Cycle: replace slide in running slideshow?

[Jon Crump]

Mike,

Thanks for this. I did find a solution by setting a flag for the first 
time through the cycle since there were other things too I wanted to 
happen only on the first time through. After the #title element is shown, 
I simply replaced its html with a different image and content. A stripped 
down version looks something like this:


jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var firstTime = true;
  $('#cycle').cycle({
fx:'fade',
speed:1500,
timeout:7000,
delay: 5000,
before: doBefore
  });

  function doBefore() {
if (firstTime == true){
  var i = $(.slide).index(this);
  if (i == 1){
$(#title).html(img src='newimage.jpg' / + div 
class='caption'foobar/div);

firstTime = false;
  };
};
  };
});

This seems to work. I gather setting such a global variable is regarded as 
bad form, but in such a small application it seemed harmless. Your 
solution seems to avoids this.


Thanks again, and thanks too for your generosity in developing this very 
generally useful plugin.

Here's an example of something similar - might give you some ideas:

That's not a global var, its scope is limited to the function passed
to 'ready'.  That's a perfectly valid solution you came up with.

Cheers!
