Question

Some time ago I copied some slider code from some website. Can’t find where is it now.
The code is:

slides.min.jquery.js

$(function(){
    $('#slides').slides({
        preload: true,
        play: 12000,
        pause: 8000,
        hoverPause: true,
        generatePagination: false
    });
});

The slider works well. But, my problem now is, I want the slider to start at random slide position. For example, it can randomly start at slide 5, or slide 3, or slide 4; on each refresh.

Any help?

It appears your using slide.js the documentation specifies you can set the start slide by including the start property in the settings.

$(function(){
    var EXCLUSIVE_UPPER_BOUNDS = 5; //adjust for your app
    $('#slides').slides({
        preload: true,
        play: 12000,
        pause: 8000,
        hoverPause: true,
        generatePagination: false,
        start: Math.floor(Math.random()* EXCLUSIVE_UPPER_BOUNDS)
    });
});
