Question

Basically I have different images for different months in the year, what I’m trying to do is to click on a certain month and have a slide show of the images related to that month on top of the page, link text(this is for testing purposes),

but the problem is that when I click on first month (Jan) I get images of the next month in the slide show as well and when I click on the second month I get no pictures, I can’t seem to fix this problem, any help would be appreciated,

if it’s too much trouble troubleshooting the code, how can I do something like that, (i.e. different slide shows for different months of the year).

thanks

Answer 1

You have a typo in gallery_pic_replace.js. When you click Feb, you’re going after:

$('#main_gallery_pics3')

but in your markup it’s

<div id="main_gallery_pic3">

Sneaky ‘s’….

EDIT:
The next issue is with:

slides2
  .wrapAll('<div id="slideInner2"></div>')

You’re taking all the slides and wrapping them in one div. This is causing them to become repositioned into the January div.
