JavaScript Experiment: Carousel images Part 2 The Set-up: Part 1 Lets make some changes.  How it looks after the initial set-up: DESIGN: There are a few design changes I'd like to make before I put in the images, and I'll do that now.  The main reason is I want the left and right image containers to be skewed and smaller than the main image. When the images change, it should feel like they are moving.  I'll add that styling now, so if there are any problems with how the images appear when they are assigned a new div, I'll know before going to deep in the code.

The easiest and fastest way to change items in the HTML with JavaScript is with the unique id applied to the item.  The DOM can find these, and apply the code to them without much hassle.  For items I will be manipulating in the JavaScript, I add an id, with a snake case.  JavaScript can get fussy about hash marks.  For classes, or C...
