PlayPause button

The Play/Pause button lets a user pause or resume carousel autoplay behavior.

The button is visible only if the CarouselViewer.autoplay parameter is set to 1; otherwise, it is hidden. You can size, skin, and position this button, relative to the control bar that contains it, by using CSS.

The appearance of the button is controlled with the following CSS class selector:

.s7carouselviewer .s7playpausebutton

As an example, suppose you want to set up a play pause button that is 28 x 28 pixels. You want the button positioned 17 pixels from the bottom and 12 pixels from the left edge of the viewer. And, you want it to display a different image for each of the four different button states when selected or not selected.

.s7carouselviewer .s7playpausebutton {
bottom:17px;
left:12px;
width:28px;
height:28px;
}
.s7carouselviewer .s7playpausebutton[selected='true'][state='up'] {
  background-image:url(images/playBtn_up.png);
}
.s7carouselviewer .s7playpausebutton[selected='true'][state='over'] {
background-image:url(images/playBtn_over.png);
}
.s7carouselviewer .s7playpausebutton[selected='true'][state='down'] {
background-image:url(images/playBtn_down.png);
}
.s7carouselviewer .s7playpausebutton[selected='true'][state='disabled'] {
background-image:url(images/playBtn_disabled.png);
}
.s7carouselviewer .s7playpausebutton[selected='false'][state='up'] {

}
.s7carouselviewer .s7playpausebutton[selected='false'][state='down'] {
