Question

I’ve created a carousel using jQuery and I would like to add auto-play functionality to it.

Here’s my existing JS:

$(document).ready(function (){
    $('#button a').click(function(){
        var integer = $(this).attr('rel');
        $('#myslide .cover').animate({left:-705*(parseInt(integer)-1)})
        $('#button a').each(function(){
            $(this).removeClass('active');
            if($(this).hasClass('button'+integer)){
                $(this).addClass('active')}
        });
    });
});​

And here’s a working fiddle.

Question: I have no idea where to start with auto-play. Any suggestions?

    $('#button a').click(function(){
        var integer = $(this).attr('rel');
        $('#myslide .cover').animate({left:-705*(parseInt(integer)-1)})
        $('#button a').each(function(){
            $(this).removeClass('active');
            if($(this).hasClass('button'+integer)){
                $(this).addClass('active')}
        });
    });
        setInterval ( function(){Next();}, 1000 );
    });

    function Next(){
        var _next = false;
        $('#button a').each(function(){
            if(_next){
                $(this).addClass('active');
                _next = false;
            }
            else if($(this).hasClass('active')){
                _next = true;
                $(this).removeClass('active')
            }

        });  
        if(_next)
            $("#button a:eq(0)").addClass("active");

       var activeIndex = parseInt($(".active").attr("rel"));
       $('#myslide .cover').animate({left:-705*(parseInt(activeIndex))});      
    }
