We Keep Coding

Image Slideshow isn't working with the following codes

I tried the following codes in my own project in VS Code. It must work on, but unfortunately, in my project, it doesn't work. I want to use these codes for the button clicking slide show. If I use the animation code with JavaScript, though it works, it is not properly sliding. I wanted to show the slides using the button click.

Try This!
Clicking on the image should work.
And Left arrow key and Right arrow key do previous and next.

Slideshow images with JS and CSS showing all at once

I'm using basic code to make images slideshow but when I open the page it doesn't show up, rather only the dot buttons - which when pressed correctly show up the image. I want only 1 image to be showing when the page is opened up.
I tried tweaking the CSS which seems to be the problem.
.mySlides {
display: none;
}
When set to "none" it shows nothing but the dots, If I remove display: none; all images show together one beneath the other.
var slideIndex = 1;
showSlides(slideIndex);
// Next/previous controls
function plusSlides(n) {
showSlides(slideIndex += n);
}
// Thumbnail image controls
function currentSlide(n) {
showSlides(slideIndex = n);
}
function showSlides(n) {
var i;
var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");
var dots = document.getElementsByClassName("dot");
if (n > slides.length) {
slideIndex = 1
}
if (n < 1) {
slideIndex = slides.length
}
for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) {
slides[i].style.display = "none";
}
for (i = 0; i < dots.length; i++) {
dots[i].className = dots[i].className.replace(" active", "");
}
slides[slideIndex - 1].style.display = "block";
dots[slideIndex - 1].className += " active";
}

Image in slider dissapear after few seconds

I'm implementing a simple image slider in my Middleman project. The images show up and the bullets are clickable. The images are linked with image_tags in Middleman. However, after an image appears it disappears after a few seconds! The only thing I could find which could have an effect on this would be the fade-in option.
After extensively looking with the inspector I couldn't find anything which causes the image not to show up.
Below my current code.
HTML
<div class="slideshow-container">
<!-- Full-width images with number and caption text -->
<div class="mySlides fade">
<div class="numbertext">1 / 3</div>
<%= image_tag "img3.jpeg", :class => "slider-img"%>

</div>
<div class="mySlides fade">

Why won't the images pop up immediately on my image carousel?

I am working on an image carousel for a fictional company about airplanes. I will do much more styling later, so please excuse the extreme blandness of the code. I have a few stock images I pulled from the internet. It is really confusing me as I don't know what I did wrong. Thank you for taking the time to read my post, it really means a lot. Why won't the images pop up? Here is my code:
Html:
<div class="bulkOfPage">

<div class="text">Our fleet is the most updated in the business, with our planes being decked out in the latest equipment</div>
</div>
<div class="mySlides fade">

And finally, the JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function(){
var slideIndex = 0;
showSlides();
function showSlides() {
var i;
var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");
for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) {
slides[i].style.display = "none";
}
slideIndex++;
if (slideIndex> slides.length) {slideIndex = 1}
slides[slideIndex-1].style.display = "block";
setTimeout(showSlides, 2000); // Change image every 2 seconds
}
});
Thank you so much for reading my post, it really means a lot to me. Thanks! Have a fantastic day!

This should work. I added functionality for your next/prev buttons, and the dot buttons.
Notice, what happens inside document.ready cannot be accessed with triggers like div onclick="plusSlides(1)", because of scope. So either you define functions outside of document.ready, or instead of onclick="" you use the jQuery way, like: $('.dot').click
Personally, I don't like that you use 1-based index. I think it adds to the confusion; it adds -1, +1 ,... I would suggest you use 0 based index in the future. Don't try for the first element to have 1 as index.

dots[i].className = dots[i].className.replace(" active", ""); } slides[slideIndex-1].style.display = "block";
dots[slideIndex-1].className += " active"; }
All these 3 codes are in different files. This is basically for the creation of a simple slideshow of three images. But when I execute this(all in different files) there is nothing to display(white screen in the browser). But when executed in a single html file(all contents in a single file) there is a perfect slideshow.
I cannot figure out this problem. Please help me out with this.

This doesn't seem right :
<script src="learn1.js"</script>
You forgot to close the opening tag, as such :
<script src="learn1.js"></script>
Plus, it's always a good habit to specify your resource type :
<script type="text/javascript" src="learn1.js"></script>

The code you posted seems to work just fine.
Maybe the image files isn't where you say they are?
Try opening the console and look for errors.
var slideIndex = 1;
showSlides(slideIndex);
function plusSlides(n) {
showSlides(slideIndex += n);
}
function currentSlide(n) {
showSlides(slideIndex = n);
}
function showSlides(n) {
var i;
var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");
var dots = document.getElementsByClassName("dot");
if (n > slides.length) {
slideIndex = 1
}
if (n < 1) {
slideIndex = slides.length
}
for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) {
slides[i].style.display = "none";
}
for (i = 0; i < dots.length; i++) {
dots[i].className = dots[i].className.replace(" active", "");
}
slides[slideIndex - 1].style.display = "block";
dots[slideIndex - 1].className += " active";
