it looks like I'm a little late to the game on this thread, but I found it via google, and you guys seem to know what you're talking about :-)
I'm trying to get this to work on a WordPress theme that I'm developing for my site, but for some reason it just won't work. I'm new to jQuery, but this should be pretty straightforward. http://www.nathanrice.net/?wptheme=NR2.0 I have the script call in the head section, and I've got the necessary code: $(document).ready(function() { $('#s2').cycle({ fx: 'fade', speed: 'normal', timeout: 6000 }); }); plus the markup: <div id="s2" class="pics"> <a href="http://www.nathanrice.net/themes/rockinbizred/";><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/slides/rockinbizred- slide.jpg" width="595" height="192" alt="RockinBizRed 2.0" /></a> <a href="http://www.nathanrice.net/themes/stripped/";><img src="<? php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/slides/stripped.jpg" width="595" height="192" alt="Stripped WordPress Theme" /></a> <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/slides/ tagcloud.jpg" width="595" height="192" alt="Tag Cloud" /> </div> In theory this should be working, but it's not. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
