Woah, thanks! It worked! I was bent on the idea that selectors had to have quotation marks. I suppose (in this case at least) thats untrue. Thank you. On Mar 31, 11:14 pm, Ricardo wrote: > Actually this is the perfect opportunity to put those href's into use: > > >         slide 1 >         sli

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Having the # and single-quotes in the id is invalid. I'm not sure how having it there is suppose to make things work. Similar to jQuery UI Tabs, maybe you should consider putting "tab_1" inside the 's 'title' attribute instead: slide 1 If you r

Yes, but I explained why... "I, though, used single quote marks so that it worked with the second line of script that I showed you." I just need to know what to put in the var line so that I can remove those quotes. On Mar 31, 7:49 pm, James wrote: > slide 1 > is suppose to be: > slide 1
