Pause is working for me, with a catch.
If my mouse is not over the image, it cycles. Placing my mouse over the
image pauses the cycling.
Clicking the link brings up an overlay (?) and a form - at this point
the mouse is not "over" the image, but over the overlay/form. So the
image cycles as it should.
I don't think you want the pause option here. I think you want to
progamatically start/stop the cycling. See the section "Manually
Pausing a slideshow" at http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/int2.html.
HTH.

I am using the cycle plugin, but for some reason I can't get the pause
feature to work. I am showing a hidden div, and when I do, I need to
pause the slideshow.
Here is what I am using:
$('#artistCycleParent').cycle({
fx: 'fade',
speed: 3000,
timeout: 5000,
pause: 1,
next: '#artworkNext',
prev: '#artworkPrev'
});
// Pause the cycle
$('#pauseButton').click(function() {
$('#artistCycleParent').cycle('pause');
$(this).hide();
$('#resumeButton').show();
return false;
});
// Resume the cycle
$('#resumeButton').click(function() {
$('#artistCycleParent').cycle('resume');
$(this).hide();
$('#pauseButton').show();
return false;
});
The code looks ok to me, but it just does not seem to pause.
