An onclick event to link next slide

[gho5twriter]

Hi i'm very new to jQuery and hope this is the right place to post my problem. I'm having some trouble making a simple link button to the next slide. I thought it would look like this:

$(".mylink").click(function(event){
    $('#featured').jmpress(next);
});

or like this

$(".mylink").click(function(event){
    $('#featured').jmpress('next');
});

But neither will select the next slide. Slide IDs are generated dynamically from my CMS so I can't hard code the URLs.

Thanks

The second one should do it.

featured is your jmpress container.

Maybe your code run before the link (.mylink) is loaded. It should on the ready event:

$(function() { // on document ready
  $(".mylink").click(function(event){
    $('#featured').jmpress('next');
  });
});

Thanks for the quick response, but unfortunately it's still not working,

I am loading my scripts in this order in the header:

1. jquery
2. jmpress,
3. main.js

my main js is as follows:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".mylink").click(function(event){
        $('#featured').jmpress('next');
    });
});

And I load jmpress in the footer

$(function() {
    $('#featured').jmpress({
    viewPort        : {
        height  : 400,
        width   : 920,
        maxScale: 1
    },
    fullscreen      : false,
    hash            : {use : false},
});
});

key and mouse navigation works fine also, any ideas?

Thanks for all the help

[sokra]

does the click event fire?

[gho5twriter]

yes i can fire an alert for example but nothing comes through for jmpress. Is there a way I can message you a url if it makes it easier?

[sokra]

that would be nice. you can send me a mail to [removed]

[gho5twriter]

ok thank you very much for all the help!

For anyone reading this the issue was resolved by adding this after the method:

return false;

the problem was due to the link being on the slide.

The resulting code looks like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".mylink").click(function(event){
        $('#featured').jmpress('next');
        return false;
    });
});
