Question

I just found that it is possible to make a very simple slideshow by jQuery as

$(function(){
    $('.fadein img:gt(0)').hide();
    setInterval(function(){$('.fadein :first-child').fadeOut().next('img').fadeIn().end().appendTo('.fadein');}, 3000);
});

with

<div class="fadein">
<img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2610/4148988872_990b6da667.jpg">
<img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2597/4121218611_040cd7b3f2.jpg">
<img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2531/4121218751_ac8bf49d5d.jpg">
</div>

I wonder how to modify this simple code to make a slide effect (fadeIn/fadeOut) for DIV instead of img. For example to make a slideshow of

<div class="fadein">
<div><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2610/4148988872_990b6da667.jpg">Some text</div>
<div><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2597/4121218611_040cd7b3f2.jpg">Some text</div>
<div><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2531/4121218751_ac8bf49d5d.jpg">Some text</div>
</div>

Answer 1

I wrote some code:

$(function(){
    $ds = $('.fadein div');
    $ds.hide().eq(0).show();
    setInterval(function(){
        $ds.filter(':visible').fadeOut(function(){
            var $div = $(this).next('div');
            if ( $div.length == 0 ) {
                $ds.eq(0).fadeIn();
            } else {
                $div.fadeIn();
            }
        });
    }, 3000);
});
