Ah, debugging JavaScript is a mission at times. I highly recommend getting a debugger like firebug.

So I found a few issues in the code above. Firstly, you are calling "start('start')", you don't need any arguments for start (see the definition).

Second, there isn't actually a "start()" function in your JavaScript because the showSlide function isn't being closed at the right place (check your brackets).

Third, why are you using different code to show the first / last slides. For a start, it doesn't work and it won't reset your caption and counter.

Hope this helps, if you get stuck again, I'll give you some more pointers.

I replied to your other post, be a little more patient perhaps. If you annoy people, they won't help you out...

Sorry, I found two errors and I didn't know how to edit the first one. That is why I re-posted the same problem.

Use common sense and post updated code in existing thread instead of creating new one
Would be nice if you started using code tags
