Accessible News Slider is a JavaScript plugin built for the jQuery library. The plugin does not use color as a primary indicator of a change in state for the slider. Instead, the “back” and “next” navigation is either visible or hidden. There is also an indicator that communicates the total number of news items.

If the user chooses to resize the text via the browser file menu, the slider will flex vertically to accommodate the larger text, and still function. This is primarily a function of the CSS, and it is suggested you maintain a variable font size in order to take advantage of this capability.

The following ZIP download contains all of the necessary files, including a packed version of jQuery v.1.2.6. The plugin file is not packed, but there are several free utilities available for compressing JavaScript source code.
