Question

I am using the nivoSlider on a page.
I adapted a Theme to my needs, but i would now like to have the Prev and Next buttons next to the image (Prev on the left side, and Next on the right site), instead of on top of the image.

You can see the test page here:
http://dccf.site88.net/test/dccf.php

here is the html:

<div class="slider-wrapper theme-default">
    <div id="slider" class="nivoSlider">
        <img src="_imgs/photos/fashion3.jpg" alt="Doncare Care Child Foundation" />
        <img src="_imgs/photos/fashion4.jpg" alt="Doncare Care Child Foundation" />
        <img src="_imgs/photos/fashion7.jpg" alt="Doncare Care Child Foundation" />
        <img src="_imgs/photos/fashion9.jpg" alt="Doncare Care Child Foundation" />
        <img src="_imgs/photos/GardenWork1.jpg" alt="Doncare Care Child Foundation" />
        <img src="_imgs/photos/GardenWork2.jpg" alt="Doncare Care Child Foundation" />
        <img src="_imgs/photos/GardenWork3.jpg" alt="Doncare Care Child Foundation" />
        <img src="_imgs/photos/GardenWork4.jpg" alt="Doncare Care Child Foundation" />
    </div><!-- enf of #slider --> 
  </div><!-- end of .sliderWrapper -->

and the CSS (from the base template):

    .nivoSlider {
position:relative;
width:600px;
height:auto;
overflow: hidden;
margin:auto;
margin-top:1em;
}
.nivoSlider img {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
max-width: 600px;
max-height:420px;
}
.nivo-main-image {
display: block !important;
position: relative !important; 
width: 600px !important;
height:420px !important;
margin:auto;
}

/* If an image is wrapped in a link */
.nivoSlider a.nivo-imageLink {

Thank you for your time and help!

Answer 1

.nivoSlider – in this class you have to remove overflow:hidden, and then you have to change the left and right of your buttons:

.nivoSlider{
     overflow:hidden; (remove it)
}

And then:

.theme-default a.nivo-prevNav{
     left: -35px; (about)
}

.theme-default a.nivo-prevNav:hover{
     left: -35px; (about)
}

.theme-default a.nivo-nextNav{
     right: -35px; (about)
}
.theme-default a.nivo-nextNav:hover{
     right: -35px; (about)
}
