    text
    copied!<p>I have a working image slider that uses jQuery to change the image (yes, I know using background images in DIVs is not the best practice, but it's the only method that works with the rest of my page):</p> <p>My HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a id="featuredLink" href="#"&gt;&lt;div class="featuredImages" style="background-image:url('http://www.placehold.it/2000x500/00ff00.png')"&gt;&lt;div class="slide"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>jQuery:</p> <pre><code>var urls = [ 'http://www.google.com','http://www.microsoft.com','http://www.yahoo.com' ]; var images = [ 'http://www.placehold.it/2000x500/ff0000.png','http://www.placehold.it/2000x500/00ff00.png','http://www.placehold.it/2000x500/0000ff.png' ]; var cur_image = 0; function changeBackground() { cur_image++; if ( cur_image &gt;= images.length ) cur_image = 0; // change images $( '.featuredImages' ).css({ backgroundImage: 'url(' + images[ cur_image ] + ')' }); $( '.featuredImages .slide' ).fadeOut( 3000, function(){ $( this ).css({ backgroundImage: 'url(' + images[ cur_image ] + ')' }).show(); } ); } setInterval( changeBackground, 10000 ); </code></pre> <p>And CSS:</p> <pre><code>.featuredImages { position:absolute; margin: 0; height: 500px; width: 100%; background: transparent url('') no-repeat center; overflow: hidden; } .featuredImages .slide { position: absolute; margin: 0; height: 500px; width: 100%; background: transparent url('') no-repeat center; overflow: hidden; } </code></pre> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/hnS9U/1/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/hnS9U/1/</a></p> <p>I would like to change the href of that anchor tag ("featuredLinks") when the image swaps so that it links to the page that the images relates to.</p> <p>I would like to use an array to store the links ("urls") and the same loop counter that is used for the images to keep track of what link to use.</p> <p>Any pointers in the right direction would be great!</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
