Anything Slider Start Panel Random

[ElliottMB]

Hi there,

I love Chris’s Anything Slider, it is awesome. One question though:

Is there a way to set the starting panel to a random value. I notice there is a startpanel parameter than can be set to an integer, but can I make it choose a random value instead?

Thanks, and happy coding!

$('document').ready(function(){

var randomSlide = Math.floor(Math.random()*7);



$('#slider').anythingSlider({

startPanel: randomSlide;

});

});

Where 7 is the amount of slides you have + 1.

random() generates a random number between 0 and 1. floor() rounds off to the lowest whole number.

We could round off to the highest whole number and not have to add 1 to the total slides, but it doesn’t seem to be as random – For some reason.

Hi,

I have a similar question if it’s not too late? Is there anyway to get the initial start panel to be just 1, instead of sliding from 3 to 1? Even if the startPanel is set to 1; it will still initially slide from 3 to 1 (on a page open or refresh). I hope this makes sense to someone who might know a way around as I’m totally out of ideas after houuurrrs!

I’m referring to anythingSlider Demo#2 btw. Also, I’ve adjusted (slowed down) the animationTime to suit.. so this unwanted startPanel slide is more apparent than perhaps the demo page. Any help or tips much appreciated!
