Code Explanation
HTML
The index.html
file provides the basic structure of the Testimonials Slider, including the testimonial content and navigation buttons. Here’s a snippet:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Testimonials Slider</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<script src="script.js" defer></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="box-1" id="testimonial-1">
<div class="text">
<h1>
“ If you want to lay the best foundation possible I’d recommend

CSS
The style.css
file styles the Testimonials Slider, providing a modern and user-friendly layout. Here are some key styles:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
font-family: Inter, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 90vh;
background: url(./images/pattern-curve.svg) no-repeat fixed left bottom;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.box-1 {
width: 70%;
height: 70%;
background-color: transparent;
display: none; /* Hide all testimonials initially */
}
#testimonial-1 {
display: flex; /* Display the first testimonial */
}
/* Additional styles */
JavaScript
The script.js
file manages the logic for navigating through the testimonials and handling user interactions. Here’s a snippet:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
const testimonials = document.querySelectorAll(".box-1");
let currentIndex = 0;
const showTestimonial = (index) => {
testimonials.forEach((testimonial, i) => {
testimonial.style.display = i === index ? "flex" : "none";
});
};
document.getElementById("next-1").addEventListener("click", () => {
currentIndex = (currentIndex + 1) % testimonials.length;
showTestimonial(currentIndex);
});
document.getElementById("prev-1").addEventListener("click", () => {
currentIndex = (currentIndex - 1 + testimonials.length) % testimonials.length;
showTestimonial(currentIndex);
});
// Additional JavaScript logic
});
