    In a site I am building I am trying to include a javascript picture fade in/out effect using jquery. The script is from here: http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/lite/.

    I have successfully implemented it on a testing page http://www.bazzasblog.co.uk/ but I can’t get it to work on the actual site: http://www.dolphinschool.org.uk/test/.

    As you will see I am using WordPress on the site. I have followed online tutorials (http://diggingintowordpress.com/2009/06/including-jquery-in-wordpress-the-right-way/) about using jquery in wordpress but I am obviously doing something wrong.

    Any help you can give a complete javascript/jquery newbie would be most appreciated.

    According to firebug’s javascript debugger "$ is not a function". So you have a conflict going on with another javascript library in WordPress.
    Try changing it to this:

    Code:
    jQuery(function() {
    jQuery(‘#slideshow1’).cycle();

    function onBefore() {
    jQuery(‘#title’).html(this.alt);
    }
    });

    Thanks for the repsonse. That was one of the things that I read on the web and had tried changing but to no effect.

    Another poster on a different forum told me to call my Javascript file and my images with this: <?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/js/jquery.cycle.lite.js

    It is now all working.
