Modern CSS carousels: No JavaScript required

  • Creating sliders or carousels historically required JavaScript, but new CSS features now enable building CSS-only carousels with enhanced accessibility.
  • The new CSS features include ::scroll-button() pseudo-element for interactive scroll buttons, ::scroll-marker for visual markers, and :target-current pseudo-class for styling active scroll markers.
  • The ::scroll-button() allows creating scroll buttons for different directions within a scroll container and can be styled freely.
  • The ::scroll-marker pseudo-element represents markers tied to scrollable items and can be styled to create thumbnails or tabs for carousels.
  • Combining these features enables building a CSS-only carousel with scroll container setup, scroll buttons for navigation, and markers for visual indication.
  • Accessibility is inherently built into features like scroll buttons and markers, reducing the need for manual accessibility implementations.
  • Browser compatibility for features like ::scroll-button() and ::scroll-marker is limited to Chrome 135+ and Edge 135+ but is expected to expand.
  • These CSS features showcase the advancements in native styling, offering alternatives to traditional JavaScript-based carousels.
