[JQuery] Slideshow

[dday9]

A simple slideshow image gallery. It uses Unicode text for the arrows(VBForums converts the hex character to the character), FlexBox for the ordering, and JQuery for the fade effects.

HTML

<div id="slideshow">
  <img alt="❮" class="slideshowButtons" id="btnPrevious" />
  <img id="slide" src="" />
  <img alt="❯" class="slideshowButtons" id="btnNext" />
</div>
