Easy Slider is a jQuery plugin for displaying images or any type of content within a slider.

It is configured with CSS and can slide the contents horizontally & vertically.

How does it work?

• Create an unordered list with the contents to be slided
• Define the div wrapping the slider: $("#slider").easySlider();
• Configure your prev-next buttons:
  • <span id="prevId"><a href="javascript:void(0);">Previous</a></span>
  • <span id="nextBtn"><a href="javascript:void(0);">Next</a></span>
• Set the options (speed, horizontal-vertical, IDs for prev-next buttons)
• And, style it however you want via CSS

Here are 3 unstyled demos:

• Default non-styled image slider
• Non-styled vertical image slider
• Non-styled vertical content slider

To sum up, Easy Slider is a handy solution for creating sliders that can be easily styled.
