Sliders with multiple elements contained within them

There was a developer diary out recently that introduced image sliders. Its great to have that feature but getting it also it reminded me of a stack from Elixar Graphics that allowed you to put most any stack into a slider. Not just an image. The stack was called Orbit.

Orbit was one of the few stacks I couldn’t quite get working 100%. Below is an example of a page where I tried to get it working. Looks pretty good to me on a laptop screen but if you bring it to a large desktop the different slides would leave big gaps between each slide.

It was likely that I just didn’t figure out how to use this tool when it was being developed and am doing something wrong. I hope something like it will come to elements because I’d sure like to give it another try! The idea is really cool way of horizontally moving through a page clicking the next buttons. It even let you choose how much of the before and after slides you wanted to see.

We have a carousel component planned that would allow you to place anything in each "slide“. I’m also sure there will be other third-party options available to do this.

Awesome, it was a really interesting idea I would have liked to play around with more. I feel like I didn’t really tap into its power and experience everything that it could have done. I would have liked to talk to others who have used it so that I could understand how to do it better.
