Jquery Slideshow Next/previous

I'm new to jQuery and I'm just wondering the easiest and most efficient way to create next/previous buttons to go through the slideshow. My code is as follows: run = setInterv

Solution 1:

I'm assuming next() will get you the next image because this is what you do in switchSlide(). You can add a div element in your HTML

  <div id="next"></div>

then attach a click event to it which will call next(), essentially performing the same action as switchSlide()

  $('.next').click(function(){ 
     $('#slideshow img:first').fadeOut(1000).next().fadeIn(1000).end().appendTo('#slideshow');
   })

the same can be done for previous
