I tried adding a p tag between one of the slides. Like this:

 <div class="slider">
            <div>
               <p>test</p>
                <img src="img/1.jpg" alt="">
                <!-- <img data-lazy="img/1.jpg" /> -->


            </div>

But i got this!:

Later i tried it in a div with a transparent background, but that didn't work either.

I just want to add a caption to a single slide, is there a way to do this without messing with the js?

Thanks in advance,

• javascript
• html
• css

• Hi Kevin. I would suggest recreating this in jsfiddle - it will make it easier for us to play around and help :) – Frits Commented May 13, 2016 at 14:05
• I would love to but how can i do this, i have lots of files in folders. and my document is linked with those folders. @Frits – Kevin Commented May 13, 2016 at 14:11
• Upload only what you need to recreate the problem, we don't need the entire site, only a replication of the problem. – Frits Commented May 13, 2016 at 14:12
• it might be easier to go down the ol' <figure>/<figcaption> css route? – Rachel Gallen Commented May 13, 2016 at 14:35
• updated fiddle - i noticed you had a white background on your slider, why? jsfiddle/y0yqau3r – Rachel Gallen Commented May 13, 2016 at 15:52

You have a white background on your .slider in your css. If you remove it, you can leave your code otherwise untouched and your <p> text will e up without the white background.

Should you want to overlay the text on the image, then may i suggest giving the paragraph tag a negative margin-top

Looking at the usage, each div can have any html you'd like:

http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/#getting-started

$(document).ready(function() {
      console.log("TEST");
      
        $('.slider').slick({
            // lazyLoad: 'ondemand',
            dots: true,
            infinite: true
                // slidesToShow: 1,
                // slidesToScroll: 1,
                // adaptiveHeight: true
        });
        // $('.slider div img').css('visibility':'visible');
    });

/* Slider */
.slick-slider
{
    position: relative;

    display: block;

I would suggest to leave it to the CSS to avoid bloated JS as stated here. Give it a try.

HTML:

<div class="slide slide--has-caption slick-slide">
  <img .../>
  <div class="slide__caption">This is my caption</div>
</div>

CSS:

.slide {
  position: relative;
}

.slide__caption {
  bottom: 0;
  min-height: 80px;
  left: 0;
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  z-index: 2;
}
