Don't do this, unless you don't want mobile users to see your site; there is no hover on an Iphone.

You're right. I implicitly meant 'for desktop users'.

Ideally, a slider on mobile should be usable through swiping. It's not hard to setup either.

don't display it as a carousel to the iphone. on a recent project, i stack the slides vertically for narrow viewports.
