Multiple instances of this carousel on a single page - can't get it to work
- by Andy
This code comes from a tutorial so it's not originally my own work. What I am trying to do is implement this several times on a single page. I have tried and so far failed - by numbering the id "carousel" and so forth. Any help would be seriously appreciated. I'm tearing my hair out.

For completeness.. this is the carousel JQuery as it stands.
//rotation speed and timer
var speed = 5000;
var run = setInterval('rotate()', speed);
//grab the width and calculate left value
var item_width = $('#slides li').outerWidth();
var left_value = item_width * (-1);
//move the last item before first item, just in case user click prev button
$('#slides li:first').before($('#slides li:last'));
//set the default item to the correct position
$('#slides ul').css({'left' : left_value});
//if user clicked on prev button
$('#prev').click(function() {
//get the right position
var left_indent = parseInt($('#slides ul').css('left')) + item_width;
//slide the item
$('#slides ul').animate({'left' : left_indent}, 200,function(){
//move the last item and put it as first item
$('#slides li:first').before($('#slides li:last'));
//set the default item to correct position
$('#slides ul').css({'left' : left_value});
});
//cancel the link behavior
return false;
});
//if user clicked on next button
$('#next').click(function() {
//get the right position
var left_indent = parseInt($('#slides ul').css('left')) - item_width;
//slide the item
$('#slides ul').animate({'left' : left_indent}, 200, function () {
//move the first item and put it as last item
$('#slides li:last').after($('#slides li:first'));
//set the default item to correct position
$('#slides ul').css({'left' : left_value});
});
//cancel the link behavior
return false;
});
//if mouse hover, pause the auto rotation, otherwise rotate it
$('#slides').hover(
function() {
clearInterval(run);
},
function() {
run = setInterval('rotate()', speed);
}
);
//a simple function to click next link
//a timer will call this function, and the rotation will begin :)
function rotate() {
$('#next').click();
}
