JavaScript Testimonial Quote Slider with Tailwind CSS

A testimonial carousel built on native scroll-snap (snap-x snap-mandatory), so swipe and trackpad physics are the browser's own. The port adds what the accessibility audit asks for — a visible pause/play toggle (WCAG 2.2.2), prev/next buttons, 44px dots — and fixes a drift bug where the index math ignored the gap between slides.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • scroll-snap-type:x mandatory, grid-auto-columns:100% and the scrollbar hiding all became utilities; the dot's pill stretch reads aria-current through aria-[current=true]:before:.
  • The script stays small and state-only: it never touches a class, only aria-current and aria-pressed, and utilities render both states.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: a real pause/play toggle (WCAG 2.2.2 requires one for auto-advancing content), prev/next buttons, and 44px dot targets (were 28px). Reduced-motion users now start paused rather than losing autoplay control entirely.
  • UI upgrade: fixed index drift — the original stepped by clientWidth, ignoring the 18px gap, so each advance landed short. Removed an invalid role="tablist" that had no tabs.

/* Root rule: the full-bleed contract, stated in CSS as well as in the markup's utilities, so the
   stage is sized before the browser build compiles. */

.tbq-23 {
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 100svh;
}
```

## JavaScript
```js
(() => {
  const root = document.getElementById('tbq23-slider');
  if (!root || root.dataset.wired) return;
  root.dataset.wired = '1';
  const track = root.querySelector('[data-track]');
  const slides = [...track.children];
  const dots = [...root.querySelectorAll('[data-dot]')];
  const toggle = root.querySelector('[data-toggle]');
  const n = slides.length;
  let i = 0, raf = 0, paused = matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)').matches;
  const step = () => slides[1].offsetLeft - slides[0].offsetLeft;
  const go = (k) => track.scrollTo({ left: step() * ((k + n) % n) });
  dots.forEach((d, k) => d.addEventListener('click', () => go(k)));
  root.querySelector('[data-prev]').addEventListener('click', () => go(i - 1));
  root.querySelector('[data-next]').addEventListener('click', () => go(i + 1));
  track.addEventListener('scroll', () => {
    cancelAnimationFrame(raf);
    raf = requestAnimationFrame(() => {
      i = Math.round(track.scrollLeft / step());
      dots.forEach((d, k) => d.setAttribute('aria-current', String(k === i)));
    });
  });
  const sync = () => toggle.setAttribute('aria-pressed', String(paused));
  toggle.addEventListener('click', () => { paused = !paused; sync(); });
  sync();
  setInterval(() => { if (!paused && !root.matches(':hover, :focus-within')) go(i + 1); }, 5000);
})();
```

How this works

CSS does the sliding, JS only keeps time. Scroll-snap handles swiping, keyboard scrolling and momentum; the script just calls scrollTo and mirrors the index into aria-current:

const step = () => slides[1].offsetLeft - slides[0].offsetLeft;
const go = (k) => track.scrollTo({ left: step() * ((k + n) % n) });

Measure the real step. The original used track.clientWidth, which ignores the 18px gap — every autoplay advance landed a little short and snap had to correct it. Measuring slide-to-slide distance is exact.

Autoplay you can stop. WCAG 2.2.2 requires a mechanism to pause moving content; hover/focus pausing alone doesn't qualify. The toggle is an aria-pressed button, and reduced-motion users start paused.

Make it yours

  • Peek the next slide: auto-cols-[88%] and snap-start.
  • Slower autoplay: change 5000 in the script.
  • No autoplay: delete the toggle and the setInterval; dots and arrows still work.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • role="tablist" is wrong for carousel dots unless you also implement tabs/tabpanels; plain buttons with aria-current are correct and simpler.
  • scroll-smooth is ignored by scrollTo calls that pass behavior — let the utility decide, and motion-reduce:scroll-auto handles the preference.
  • Keep the track focusable (tabindex="0") so keyboard users can arrow-scroll it.

Scroll snap is universal in evergreen browsers; scrollbar-width is Chrome 121 / Firefox 64, with the ::-webkit-scrollbar fallback for Safari.
