I have created a slider in jQuery, CSS and HTML.

It uses arrows and bullets to navigate as well as an autoplay system.

The problem I am having is: I would like the slider to change the slide that is displayed when the user clicks the respective bullet (i.e. bullet 1 slide 1 etc.) However when the user clicks the bullets, nothing happens.

I have tried using alerts to identify where the code is failing but it seems that the $('.bullet').click(function(){}) is not even called when clicking <span class="bullet">.

The error seems to occur because the bullets are auto generated. I don’t understand why.

Here’s a fiddle for everyone: http://jsfiddle.net/TczNn/7/

This is the code:

<!-- BEGIN CONTENT -->
        <div id="content">

            <!-- BEGIN CONTENT TOP SLIDESHOW -->
            <div id="top-slide">
                <div class="wrapper">

                <!-- BEGIN CONTENT TOP SLIDESHOW SLIDES -->
                    <div id="slide0" class="slide">
                        <h2>Your Site... Defined</h2>
                        <h4>With D&amp;D there is no inbetween, we will never compromise your requirements.</h4>
                    </div>  

                    <div id="slide1" class="slide">
                        <h2>Your Site... Defined 2</h2>
                        <h4>With D&amp;D there is no inbetween, we will never compromise your requirements.</h4>
                    </div>                     

                    <div id="slide2" class="slide">
                        <h2>Your Site... Defined 3</h2>
                        <h4>With D&amp;D there is no inbetween, we will never compromise your requirements.</h4>
                    </div>                     
                <!-- END CONTENT TOP SLIDESHOW SLIDES -->

                </div>

                <div id="numSlides">3</div>

                <div class="arrows">
                    <span class="arrow left"></span>
                    <span class="arrow right"></span>

                    <div class="wrapper">
                        <div class="bullets">

                        <div class="clear"></div>
                    </div>
                </div>
