I am attempting to create an image banner rotation that will have "arrow" overlays when any of the 1 of 5 banners are selected. I have mocked up my divs and am unsure how to proceed. Should I make the Banner1-Banner5 descriptions as a UNORDERED LIST and LIST ITEMS and change the styles? Or keep them as seperate div's as I have done below? I'm also unclear how to make the "arrow" overlay when a certain banner description is selected. Image is below on how final banner should display. My framework code is also below.
<!-- hp banner start -->
<div id="hp-banner">
<div id="hp-banner-left">
BANNER IMAGE
</div>
<div id="banner-right">
<div id="banner-right-1">
BANNER 1 DESCRIPTION
</div>
<div id="banner-right-2">
BANNER 2 DESCRIPTION
</div>
<div id="banner-right-3">
BANNER 3 DESCRIPTION
</div>
<div id="banner-right-4">
BANNER 4 DESCRIPTION
</div>
<div id="banner-right-5">
BANNER 5 DESCRIPTION
</div>
</div>
<!-- hp banner end -->
</div>

While I agree with Billy Moat I think it's good to learn what css can do with a little extra knowledge.
The right hand menu should definitely be a list because that's exactly what it looks like.
I imagine the hardest part of this would be the arrows. It's actually really simple to do with css.
HTML
<ul>
<li>banner 1</li>
<li>banner 2</li>
<li>banner 3</li>
<li>banner 4</li>
<li>banner 5</li>
</ul>
CSS
div {
float:left;
width:200px;
height:100px;
background:orange;
}
ul {
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
li {
list-style:none;
line-height:20px;
background:gray;
position:relative;
}
li:hover {
color:white;
background:blue;
}
li:hover:before {
content:'';
border-top:10px solid transparent;
border-bottom:10px solid transparent;
border-right:20px solid blue;
position:absolute;
right:100%;
top:0;
}
The last css block is the one responsible for creating the arrow. You can make a lot of interesting shapes with just html and css.
