Jquery Carousel Issue

I can't seem to figure out why this carousel isn't working. Could someone please take a look at it here: tests and tell me what is wrong with the code? I just can't make the images move or anything! I want to be able to have it move when the arrows are clicked and also have a small 12345 type of numbered list in it that you can click on to get the exact image you want.

I am trying to use the stuff from here to do all of this: Documentation - jCarousel

Maybe I didn't do something right?

The working example is here: http://sorgalla.com/jcarousel/examples/basic/

    Evrything looks fine the only thing I found different is the following line of code has a line break in it shoulnt make a difference but worth a try.

    current
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="JQ/dist/jquery.jcarousel.min.js"></script>

    should be
    <script type="text/javascript" src="JQ/dist/jquery.jcarousel.min.js"></script>

      This does not matter, the file gets loaded as long as the src is inside the script tag.

      Thanks, I'm getting closer. Take a look at it now though. Also the line I deleted may have helped if I had the path right. Should I put it back with the correct path?

        Hmmm...actually I tried it with the correct path and still have the problem.

      I'm not sure yet how you got it working so I will have to take a close look and compare. But I have SlideTest.html that didn't work and uploaded SlideTest2.html with your code and it works.

      If you don't mind could you explain what happened?

      Oh and I was actually thinking that I would ask you if there was a way to quickly get in touch with you at any time to have you look at some codes and things like this? I hope to work for a company maintaining their website and it would be nice to have help when I need it. I would of course pay for such a service if I do get that job. What do you think?

    It looks like you just added the css in the html code itself and then added the functions at the end. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I am curious as to why the links to the css and the java script at the top didn't do it themselves though?

    One more question. I have made some progress on SlideTest3.html in getting it to scroll on its own. I would like to know if you could tell me what I need in order to make it loop? Also is there a way to make the arrow navigation buttons hover over the images?

    The link to the css is only for the site styling, not for the carousel.

    The javascript you loaded is the plugin only that needs to be initialized, depending on how and what you want to use.

    In the style section, change the following code:

    Code:
    .jcarousel-control-prev {

      The javascript you loaded is the plugin only that needs to be initialized, depending on how and what you want to use.

      In the style section, change the following code:

      Code:
      .jcarousel-control-prev {
    left: -50px;
}
 
.jcarousel-control-next {
    right: -50px;
}
      to this:

      Code:
      .jcarousel-control-prev {
    left: 0;
}
 
.jcarousel-control-next {
    right: 0;
}
      Loop: Configuration - jCarousel

      Maybe a small donation?

      click -> Donate Some Cash
      You have been a big help. I will be remembering you and what you have done here. I wish I could give a donation at this moment but right now I am without income (hence my hope for this new job). But when I get a chance I will send a little $respect$ your way.
