I have made an image slider that works fine until I try and make the images into links. I have tried several things but all come up with different problems.
For instance when I change
<img src="img/radish.jpg" alt="radish">
to
<a href ="radish.html"><img src="img/radish.jpg" alt="radish"></a>
The image dissapears this can be fixed from changing
.slider li input:checked ~ img{
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible;
z-index: 10;
}
To
.slider li input:checked ~ img a{
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible;
z-index: 10;
}
However the image is not a click-able link still again I have found a way to fix this by adding
.slider li input:checked ~ a{
position: absolute;
}
but after doing this my label goes from the bottom of the slider to above the slider which I just don't know how to fix.
Below is the HTML and CSS before attempting to change the images to links.If someone could help me find a way to make the images links without changing the positions of any elements I will be forever in your debt thanks Bashtoe
