Next/Previous in a Slideshow-script

Edit: Oh, I just realized there is a Programming --> JavaScript sub forum. I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong category, any moderator feel free to move my thread! Sorry again!

Hi!

I don't know anything about JavaScript but I've found a simple Slideshow-script which I like. For example, if you click on 3, image number 3 will show up in the Slideshow. I also managed to Google some code that makes it swipe through the images automatically with a 5 second interval. The only thing I miss with the script is "Next"/"Previous" links to be able to go through the image sequence directly instead of having to wait 5 seconds. I would appreciate it a lot if someone could help me out with this!

I'm attaching what I believe is the important part of the code:

    <a href="#" onclick="$('.slideshow').blinds_change(0); return false">1</a>
    <a href="#" onclick="$('.slideshow').blinds_change(1); return false">2</a>
    <a href="#" onclick="$('.slideshow').blinds_change(2); return false">3</a>
    <a href="#" onclick="$('.slideshow').blinds_change(3); return false">4</a>
    <a href="#" onclick="$('.slideshow').blinds_change(4); return false">5</a>
    <a href="#" onclick="$('.slideshow').blinds_change(5); return false">6</a>
    <a href="#" onclick="$('.slideshow').blinds_change(6); return false">7</a>
 
    <a href="#" onclick="???????????">Previous</a>
    <a href="#" onclick="???????????">Next</a>
 
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(window).load(function () {
        $('.slideshow').blinds();
        var i = 1;
        setInterval(function () {
          if ( i == 7 ) i = 0;
          $('.slideshow').blinds_change(i);
          i ++;
        }, 5000);
      });
    </script>

Thank you!

 

Why not use something already built and tested

http://amazingslider.com/ ?

and free... not my site but just suggesting something that many people area already using

 

i agree with Cadsii! Go for Useful and simplicity.. the Slider is very easy to setup and it's cover all your needs....
Goodluck

 

cadsii, themes4all: Thanks for the reply! I actually choose this slider just because of the simplicity of it (and the small size). Regarding amazingslider.com; it's really not an alternative for me to have an text link to their site (or any other link/ad) in the slideshow, which is the only option if you want it to remain free of charge.

Anyway, I got the help I needed to make my script exactly as I wanted, so I'm really pleased about the result!

Thanks anyway!
