AnythingSlider – Cannot reproduce results from CodePen.

[mdroidian]

Trying to link directly to a specific slide using static links, using code found [here](https://css-tricks.com/anythingslider-jquery-plugin/ “code”).

> $(“#slide-jump1”).click(function(e){ $(‘#slider’).anythingSlider(1); e.preventDefault(); });

Works perfectly fine in this [CodePen](http://codepen.io/mdroidian/pen/xifgh “codepen link”).
(above code found at bottom of JS in CodePen)

Copied and pasted html to index.htm, css to css.css, and js to js.js but cannot reproduce results [here](http://cattire.com/codepen “link to problem”).

What am I missing?

Hi mdroidian!

The problem is that the `$(‘#slide-jump’).click()` code was incorrectly added INSIDE of the AnythingSlider plugin code. This is only a problem because your `js.js` file is loaded and executed in the `` of your page, which happens before the `` has completed loading. So `#slide-jump` and `#slide-jump1` don’t exist yet.

So you have two options:

1) Remove the code from inside of the AnythingSlider code, then move it to where AnythingSlider is initialized (preferred method):

$(function(){
$(‘#slider’).anythingSlider(); // add any non-default options here

$(“#slide-jump”).click(function(e){ $(‘#slider’).anythingSlider(2); e.preventDefault(); });
$(“#slide-jump1”).click(function(e){ $(‘#slider’).anythingSlider(1); e.preventDefault(); });
});

2) Move where you load the `js.js` file to the bottom of the page. This method is suggested by the authors of [HTML5 boilerplate](http://html5boilerplate.com/). It would work just like this, but you still really need to move the code out from inside the plugin code.

Thank you Mottie!!

In the many things I tried, I swear I tried option 1 already. Tried it again, no luck.
Then I copied and pasted your code, and IT WORKED.
Finally realized exactly what I did wrong because of this post.

I quite enjoy this place. :)

**TLDR; Option 1 works great. I need to learn JS.**
