/**
* Creates a carousel-style navigation widget for images/any-content from a simple HTML markup.
*
* The HTML markup that is used to build the carousel can be as simple as...
*
*


*
* As you can see, this snippet is nothing but a simple div containing an unordered list of images.
* You don't need any special "class" attribute, or a special "css" file for this plugin.
* I am using a class attribute just for the sake of explanation here.
*
* To navigate the elements of the carousel, you need some kind of navigation buttons.
* For example, you will need a "previous" button to go backward, and a "next" button to go forward.
* This need not be part of the carousel "div" itself. It can be any element in your page.
* Lets assume that the following elements in your document can be used as next, and prev buttons...
*
* <<
* >>
*
* Now, all you need to do is call the carousel component on the div element that represents it, and pass in the
* navigation buttons as options.
*
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev"
* });
*
* That's it, you would have now converted your raw div, into a magnificient carousel.
*
* There are quite a few other options that you can use to customize it though.
* Each will be explained with an example below.
*
* @param an options object - You can specify all the options shown below as an options object param.
*
* @option btnPrev, btnNext : string - no defaults
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev"
* });
* @desc Creates a basic carousel. Clicking "btnPrev" navigates backwards and "btnNext" navigates forward.
*
* @option btnGo - array - no defaults
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev",
* btnGo: [".0", ".1", ".2"]
* });
* @desc If you don't want next and previous buttons for navigation, instead you prefer custom navigation based on
* the item number within the carousel, you can use this option. Just supply an array of selectors for each element
* in the carousel. The index of the array represents the index of the element. What i mean is, if the
* first element in the array is ".0", it means that when the element represented by ".0" is clicked, the carousel
* will slide to the first element and so on and so forth. This feature is very powerful. For example, i made a tabbed
* interface out of it by making my navigation elements styled like tabs in css. As the carousel is capable of holding
* any content, not just images, you can have a very simple tabbed navigation in minutes without using any other plugin.
* The best part is that, the tab will "slide" based on the provided effect. :-)
*
* @option mouseWheel : boolean - default is false
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* mouseWheel: true
* });
* @desc The carousel can also be navigated using the mouse wheel interface of a scroll mouse instead of using buttons.
* To get this feature working, you have to do 2 things. First, you have to include the mouse-wheel plugin from brandon.
* Second, you will have to set the option "mouseWheel" to true. That's it, now you will be able to navigate your carousel
* using the mouse wheel. Using buttons and mouseWheel or not mutually exclusive. You can still have buttons for navigation
* as well. They complement each other. To use both together, just supply the options required for both as shown below.
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev",
* mouseWheel: true
* });
*
* @option auto : number - default is null, meaning autoscroll is disabled by default
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* auto: 800,
* speed: 500
* });
* @desc You can make your carousel auto-navigate itself by specfying a millisecond value in this option.
* The value you specify is the amount of time between 2 slides. The default is null, and that disables auto scrolling.
* Specify this value and magically your carousel will start auto scrolling.
*
* @option speed : number - 200 is default
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev",
* speed: 800
* });
* @desc Specifying a speed will slow-down or speed-up the sliding speed of your carousel. Try it out with
* different speeds like 800, 600, 1500 etc. Providing 0, will remove the slide effect.
*
* @option easing : string - no easing effects by default.
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev",
* easing: "bounceout"
* });
* @desc You can specify any easing effect. Note: You need easing plugin for that. Once specified,
* the carousel will slide based on the provided easing effect.
*
* @option vertical : boolean - default is false
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev",
* vertical: true
* });
* @desc Determines the direction of the carousel. true, means the carousel will display vertically. The next and
* prev buttons will slide the items vertically as well. The default is false, which means that the carousel will
* display horizontally. The next and prev items will slide the items from left-right in this case.
*
* @option circular : boolean - default is true
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev",
* circular: false
* });
* @desc Setting it to true enables circular navigation. This means, if you click "next" after you reach the last
* element, you will automatically slide to the first element and vice versa. If you set circular to false, then
* if you click on the "next" button after you reach the last element, you will stay in the last element itself
* and similarly for "previous" button and first element.
*
* @option visible : number - default is 3
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev",
* visible: 4
* });
* @desc This specifies the number of items visible at all times within the carousel. The default is 3.
* You are even free to experiment with real numbers. Eg: "3.5" will have 3 items fully visible and the
* last item half visible. This gives you the effect of showing the user that there are more images to the right.
*
* @option start : number - default is 0
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev",
* start: 2
* });
* @desc You can specify from which item the carousel should start. Remember, the first item in the carousel
* has a start of 0, and so on.
*
* @option scrool : number - default is 1
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev",
* scroll: 2
* });
* @desc The number of items that should scroll/slide when you click the next/prev navigation buttons. By
* default, only one item is scrolled, but you may set it to any number. Eg: setting it to "2" will scroll
* 2 items when you click the next or previous buttons.
*
* @option beforeStart, afterEnd : function - callbacks
* @example
* $j(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
* btnNext: ".next",
* btnPrev: ".prev",
* beforeStart: function(a) {
* alert("Before animation starts:" + a);
* },
* afterEnd: function(a) {
* alert("After animation ends:" + a);
* }
* });
* @desc If you wanted to do some logic in your page before the slide starts and after the slide ends, you can
* register these 2 callbacks. The functions will be passed an argument that represents an array of elements that
* are visible at the time of callback.
