Navigators and Indicators in JavaScript (ES5) Carousel control

08 May 2023 / 6 minutes to read

The navigators and indicators are used to transition the slides manually.

Show or hide previous and next button

In navigators, the previous and next slide transition buttons are used to perform slide transitions manually. You can show/hide the navigators using the buttonsVisibility property. The possible property values are as follows:

  • Hidden – the navigator’s buttons are not visible.
  • Visible – the navigator’s buttons are visible.
  • VisibleOnHover – the navigator’s buttons are visible only when hovering over the carousel.

The following example depicts the code to show/hide the navigators in the carousel.
