Jquery Cycle Problem

Question

Hey everyone, I'm not the best at Jquery debugging, so I was hoping someone could let me know what this means, and hopefully how to fix it.

I am using jquery Cycle lite(hosted locally) & Jquery (hosted by google).

My Code is pretty simple:

    <div id="slideshow1" class="slider" > 
<img src="/images/slider1.jpg"  /> 
<img src="/images/slider2.jpg" /> 
<img src="/images/slider3.jpg"  /> 

And my Script:

        <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
LINE21-->         $('#slideshow1').cycle()
             });
    </script>

Firebug console gives me the following error:

$("#slideshow1") is null)

$('#slideshow1').cycle()\r\ncandypants.ca (line 21)

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Are you including the jQuery script library in your page? If not, you need to include it. If so, do you have any conflicts with the use of the $ sign?

jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $('#slideshow1').cycle();
});
