Ah, debugging JavaScript is a mission at times. I highly recommend getting a debugger like firebug.

So I found a few issues in the code above. Firstly, you are calling "start('start')", you don't need any arguments for start (see the definition).

Second, there isn't actually a "start()" function in your JavaScript because the showSlide function isn't being closed at the right place (check your brackets).

Third, why are you using different code to show the first / last slides. For a start, it doesn't work and it won't reset your caption and counter.

Hope this helps, if you get stuck again, I'll give you some more pointers.

I replied to your other post, be a little more patient perhaps. If you annoy people, they won't help you out...

Sorry, I found two errors and I didn't know how to edit the first one. That is why I re-posted the same problem.

  1. Posts merged
  2. Use common sense and post updated code in existing thread instead of creating new one
  3. Would be nice if you started using code tags
