How to use

TouchSlider depends on jQuery. Include both in your header:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.touchslider.min.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(function($) {
    $(".touchslider").touchSlider({/*options*/});
});
</script>

In your html do something like:

<div class="touchslider">
    <div class="touchslider-viewport" style="width:500px;overflow:hidden"><div>
        <div class="touchslider-item"><!-- your html content --></div>
        <div class="touchslider-item"></div>
        ...
    </div></div>

    <div>
        <span class="touchslider-prev">←</span>
        <span class="touchslider-nav-item touchslider-nav-item-current">1</span>
        <span class="touchslider-nav-item">2</span>
        ...
        <span class="touchslider-next">→</span>
    </div>
</div>

JavaScript options:

container: this,
duration: 350, // the speed of the sliding animation in milliseconds
delay: 3000, // initial auto-scrolling delay for each loop
margin: 5, // borders size. The margin is set in pixels.
mouseTouch: true,
namespace: "touchslider",
next: ".touchslider-next", // jQuery object for the elements to which a "scroll forwards" action should be bound.
pagination: ".touchslider-nav-item",
currentClass: "touchslider-nav-item-current", // class name for current pagination item.
prev: ".touchslider-prev", // jQuery object for the elements to which a "scroll backwards" action should be bound.
scroller: viewport.children(),
autoplay: false, // whether to move from image to image automatically
viewport: ".touchslider-viewport"

Note: be sure not to include a "," after the last line or you'll get an error in Internet Explorer.

To manually start and stop the slider you can use the following code:

$(".touchslider").data("touchslider").stop(); // stop the slider
$(".touchslider").data("touchslider").start(); // start the slider
