Quotes Rotator

An autoplay rotator for quotes (or any kind of content). An indicator above the content shows the progress. A blockquote with an image is used as an example. Also, an example media query shows how to resize the content for smaller screens.

The HTML

<div id="cbp-qtrotator" class="cbp-qtrotator">
	<div class="cbp-qtcontent">
		<img src="images/1.jpg" alt="img01" />
		<blockquote>
		  <p>People eat meat and think they will become as strong as an ox, forgetting that the ox eats grass.</p>
		  <footer>Pino Caruso</footer>
		</blockquote>
	</div>
	<div class="cbp-qtcontent">
		<!-- ... -->
	</div>
	<div class="cbp-qtcontent">
		<!-- ... -->
	</div>
	<div class="cbp-qtcontent">
		<!-- ... -->
	</div>
</div>
