Steps To Create an Images Slider Using HTML, CSS & JavaScript

Step 1: Create an HTML container element:

Start by creating a container element for your image slider. This can be any HTML element, such as a div or a section, with a class or ID to identify it.

Step 2: Add images to the container:

Within the container, add the images you want to display in your image slider. You can use the HTML img element and specify the source (src) attribute to link to the image file.

Step 3: Style the container and images:

Use CSS to style the container and images. Set the container to a specific width and height, and position the images within the container using CSS positioning properties.

Step 4: Create navigation buttons:

Add navigation buttons to your image slider to allow users to move between images. You can use HTML buttons or links, and style them with CSS to match your design.

Step 5: Add JavaScript functionality:

Finally, use JavaScript to add functionality to your image slider. This can include changing the display of images when a navigation button is clicked, adding autoplay functionality, and more.
