Hi Everyone!
I have been looking for my own solution to this question for a while, and I have finally decided to reach out to the greater powers that be - the forums.
In my 'dream portfolio website', I would like to have a one-page site, with a main portfolio slider. My vision is that the slider would remain in the same position, but depending on which thumbnail you click underneath it, the content in the slider would only display slides for that particular piece/product. The content of the slider would dynamically change based on which piece the user has selected.
Currently on my site, I have ten sliders positioned off screen, and when a thumbnail is clicked, they rotate on/off the screen. However, as you would expect, this greatly slows down the browser performance and is less-than-favourable on a phone (it works - it's just slow and buggy).
I've been looking everywhere for a slider that could do this (or something similar) and have had no luck. Have any of you seen a slider with this functionality?
(I made a terrible diagram of what it looks like in my brain here)

Thanks for your quick reply!

Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsHi, do you have any websites like this that you have seen as an example. Maybe ajax would be something to look at to change the content.
