Hi TD,
can you send me a email so i can send you the proper instructions?
Sure. Hang tight.
I ‘ve sended you an email Hope it helps.
Cheers
I just bought your slider and it was really easy to setup 
However, I also noticed the slider stop after changing images 10 times … Have you found a solution for this ?
That’s strange, in my test the slider does not stop, and there no reason other than a bug for that happens. If you can send me your html pages (or a url to them) i will take a look and find the problem/bug.
Thanx for superfast reply and for looking into this!!
I just sent u a mail with url to my site

Stefan,
I’ve emailed to you the fix.
Cheers.
Thanx Marcio, I got the updated files and it’s working like a charm now 
I really can recommend this slider, both for the slider it self, easy to install and works super great, and for the superb and fast support that Marcio gives!!! 5 stars and a thumb up 
/Stefan
Thanks Stefan,
If you have any other problem just contact me.

Great slider. I’m curious if you are able to set each image slide to a different display time. Example, slide 1 shows for 2 seconds, then slide #2 shows for 6seconds…etc.
Possible to do with your slider?
Thanks!
Unfortunately there is no such option at the moment. I’m super busy right now, but I believe can implement in a few days and send you by email. However, i will ask you to buy the slider first. Attend the request of a client is the only way i have right now to justify the time allocated for the development of that feature. I hope you do not find that rude(and that my English makes sense).

hi refael_b!
jawdropper is setup and working great – i really like it – but i have one question.
i’m using just a basic “slide” transition, but i want to restrict the slide to always go in one direction. right now it slides in from random directions.
i found the following in the .js, which is what i think needs to change, but i’ve no idea what values there are to change this:
// Slide // slide : function(slider, slideIndex, direction) { DIRECTIONS = [‘l’, ‘r’, ‘t’, ‘b’]; if (!direction) direction = DIRECTIONS [ random(4) ];
could you help me out? thanks! ~mike

Everything is working great, however it always seems to stop after 10 images. How to make it continue to show images. So if you have 5 images I want it to keep show those images over and over while they are on that page.

Hi Jim,
Show the images ‘over and over’ is what the slider does, you can open any example that comes with the slider and check for yourself. Something is preventing the slider to work properly, maybe you have discovered a bug. If you can send me the files you are working on (or a link to them) so i can see the problem, i will help you. Please send me a email thorough my profile page.
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for a nice and easy solution. one question i am using the “slideOver” but i want to slide only in one direction only e.g. vertically or horizontally… left-right or top-bottom. how can i make this combination? at the moment it takes all the variations.
looking forward your reply.
Hi refael_b,
Right now i’m packing to travel, but i will contact you today by email to give you the proper instructions. I hope this isn’t a big issue for you.
Thanks, maguiar01
Hi maguiar01.
Thank you for your reply.
It is crucial but not that urgent. If you are able to reply in following 1-2 days that would great otherwise i will simply use jquery fade in and out.
Thanks again.
Hi refael_b,
Can you contact me through my profile page so i can get your email? I will send you the instructions as fast as i can.
Thanks.
atleast provide a video.. a screenshot just doesn’t cut it :/
Hi Freshstart,
There’s a link to the live preview in the item description. I’ve made a zip with the live preview but the codecanyon system refuse my zip file.

Hi maguiar01,
No need to apologize for the long answer – I was able to follow it, and now it works the way it should! The only thing I couldn’t figure out was how to get rid of the “prev” and “next” text that showed up with the button, so I increased the line height, which pushed it off the slider.
I really appreciate your quick and thorough responses. Thanks so much for all your help, and for a great file. I will definitely purchase more files from you when you make them available!!!
Hi sammie,
The “text-indent” should make the button text “go way”, that’s how it’s done in the “example 3” i mentioned before. Go figure. 
In the next slider’s update i will include more configuration options that will make it easier to customize the appearance. I assumed that the examples would be sufficient, but i realize now that i got to make better/easier for the users.
I’m really glad you managed to got everything working. And thanks for your nice words, by the way

Hi again – Is there any way to change the prev & next button graphics? I sized down the slider and the boxes are pretty big now. I’d like to use arrows < or > arrows instead.
Thanks!
Hi sammie,
You can change the slider appearance using CSS . To do what you want, open the file “jawdropper_slider.css”, line 58 (it should start with ”.jdslider-prev, .jdslider-next {“) . Between the lines 58 and 72 are listed some visual attributes of the next and prev buttons. You can change the height by changing the value of ‘height’ property in line 65, change the ‘30px’ to whatever you want. To change the width you need to add a new line after the line 65. Than type
width : 100px;
This will set the button width to 100 pixels. Put the value that you want.
Now, to change the buttons to arrows. Copy the snippet below in the of the file “jawdropper_slider.css”
.jdslider-prev {
background: url(button_prev.png) no-repeat;
}
.jdslider-next {
background: url(button_next.png) no-repeat;
}
.jdslider-prev, .jdslider-next {
border : none;
padding : 0;
text-indent : -10000px;
}
What that snippet do : * remove the border of the buttons * remove the padding * the “text-indent” part is used to make the button’s text go “out of the sight”, so we can’t see them anymore, * in the lines that start with “background :” you have to change the ‘button_prev.png’ and ‘button_next.png’ with the path to the images that you created with the arrows.
You can see how it is done in n example 3 that comes with the slider, the CSS part is inside a “style” tag.
Sorry for the long (and probably confused) answer, i don’t know if i make myself clear. If not (or if you have any other trouble) you can send me a email.

Thanks for responding so quickly—it’s a great file!
I’m glad that you liked. 
Thanks.
Nevermind – I got it working. I had to rename the jquery-1.4.2.min.js to jquery-1.4.2.js.
I’m glad you have figured out what the problem was. 
Just purchased and think it’s great. I’m completely new at this, so I followed ur instructions until I got to the “apply the plugin to the slider element” – where do I place that code snippet?
Hi sammie,
You can put that code snippet anywhere after the script tags that i mention in step 1 of the documentation, but the best practice is to put in the end of the html document, before the ’’.
I hope this help you, and if you have any trouble feel free to can send me a email through my profile page.
Thanks.
can you write transition code for 22 transitions ? for example… “fade” fade transition wipe for wipe effect slide over for slide over
etc… I can’t get the exact transition effect because of not knowing the code.. Thanks.. a lot
I want to make banner show in only slide(from right to left)style how to do this ? what transition do I have to use to do this ?
Hi bestoneweb,
The name of the transition that you looking for is “slideOver”. In the code that calls the slider plugin, you must put the option
'transitions' : 'slideOver'
The list of the transition’s names are in the documentation, look at the section “List of Options”, in the option ‘transitions’. The names are pretty close to those buttons that i used in the live preview here at codecanyon. If my answer doesn’t resolve your problem or if you have any other trouble, feel free to send me a email.
Hi maguiar01!
I’m very happy for buying your slider: it is graphically amazing, the code is as clean as short and it is very friendly to configure.
Just one small detail, maybe it happened only to me, but the “documentation” file didn’t come with any extension. I put .doc and it opened from google (I don’t have word =/ ). Please, can you make a documentation.html?
Thanks!
Hi Cadence96,
Thanks for the compliments. 
The documentation file it’s a simple plain text file, you can rename it to “documentation.txt” if you like. If you are using windows you can open it using notepad. If you have any problem let me know.
As a .txt it stills opens like an unformatted document. But as a .rtf it’s opening fine.
Well… I still vote for a colored html version 
Oh, i see it now… this happens beacause linux and windows have different end-of-line conventions for their files (i use linux for development). In windows i use notepad++, which support any of this conventions, that’s why i have not noticed this. I will consider a html version anyway.
Thanks for your feedback, i really appreciate it.

You’re awesome… thanks for the fix and the fast reply.
Fellow designers, buy this slider. Works great – nice documentation.
tdgd
Thanks, tgdg. I’m really glad that you liked. 
Very nice slider – great job.
Quick question – is there a way to have the selector start on “1” instead of “0”?
Thanks!
Hi tdgd,
there’s no configuration to do what you want, but i think that the way you want makes more sense. I have updated the slider, but in the meantime you can change the slider yourself if you want. On file ‘jawdropper_slider.js’, line 141, change “html(i)” to “html(i+1)”
If you have any trouble you can ask me or send me an email.
It would be great if you could put this in Wordpress Plugin form. I would pay a lot for that. Especially if it had some features like being able to grab images automatically, resizing the images with timthumb, and grabbing posts from a specific category.
I would pay 30 dollars for that.
I never wrote a wordpress plugin before, but i will take a look at it. Thanks for your suggestion.
