Hello there: first of all i have no idea on coding or anything related, simple question: is there any simple way to tell this code to autostart the slide? at the current moment the images change on click. currently the index page only have one image, what i want is to add a few but without the need to click to see the next one here is the code from my index: <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ /* the images preload plugin */ (function($) { $.fn.preload = function(options) { var opts = $.extend({}, $.fn.preload.defaults, options), o = $.meta ? $.extend({}, opts, this.data()) : opts; var c = this.length, l = 0; return this.each(function() { var $i = $(this); $('<img/>').load(function(i){ ++l; if(l == c) o.onComplete(); }).attr('src',$i.attr('src')); }); }; $.fn.preload.defaults = { onComplete : function(){return false;} }; })(jQuery); //]]> </script><script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ $(function() { var $tf_bg = $('#tf_bg'), $tf_bg_images = $tf_bg.find('img'), $tf_bg_img = $tf_bg_images.eq(0), $tf_thumbs = $('#tf_thumbs'), total = $tf_bg_images.length, current = 0, $tf_content_wrapper = $('#tf_content_wrapper'), $tf_next = $('#tf_next'), $tf_prev = $('#tf_prev'), $tf_loading = $('#tf_loading');
