Q, you just need to think outside the box a little bit. The thing to remember is that Cycle will treat each immediate child element of the container as a slide. A slide can be whatever you want (img, div, p, etc) and can contain whatever you need. For example: <div id="slideshow"> <div> <img src="image1.jpg"/> <a href="/whatever">Whatever</a> <div>blah blah blah</div> </div> <div> <img src="image1.jpg"/> <a href="/whatever">Whatever</a> <div>blah blah blah</div> </div> </div> The markup above would drive a two-slide slideshow. You then just need to apply the appropriate CSS to the container and slides to make your markup bow to your will. Mike
