Jquery Flexslider - can't see navigational images (manualControl)
- by Kim Thomas
I've spent a lot of time looking at the post on 3/13/12 re: manual controls, but isn't getting me all the way there...probably because I don't know jquery. Sorry, newbie on board.
I'm trying to get the right/left arrows to show, as well as the 1, 2, 3...at the bottom. They are there, I see the lists on Firebug, just don't know how to add them to the "hook" (?) so they appear.
Here is the code I have in header:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery.flexslider.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(window).load(function() {
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
animation: "slide",
slideshow: false,
controlNav: true,
manualControls: ".flex-control-nav li a",
controlsContainer: ".flex-container"
});
});
</script>
Here is my html:
<div class="flex-container">
<div class="flexslider">
<ul class="slides">
<li><img src="images/tah_home.jpg" alt="taylor art house home page" width="600" height="320"/>
<p class="flex-caption">Taylor Art House Home Page</p></li>
<li><img src="images/tah_blog.jpg" alt="taylor art house blog page" width="600" height="320" />
<p class="flex-caption">We created a blog that fits seemlessly into Taylor Art House's look</p></li>
<li><img src="images/tah_artwork_page.jpg" alt="taylor art house art page" width="600" height="320" />
<p class="flex-caption">One of Taylor Art House's gallery pages, using a Wordpress plugin</p></li>
<li><img src="images/tah_arch_portfolio.jpg" alt="jon taylor architecture portfolio page" width="600" height="320" />
<p class="flex-caption">We created links to toggle from TAH to Jon Taylor Architecture</p></li>
</ul>

Here is how it appears in Firebug:
<div class="flex-container">
<div class="flexslider" style="overflow: hidden;">
<ul class="slides" style="width: 1200%; margin-left: -1800px;">
<li class="clone" style="width: 600px; float: left; display: block;">
<li style="width: 600px; float: left; display: block;">
<li style="width: 600px; float: left; display: block;">
<li style="width: 600px; float: left; display: block;">
<li style="width: 600px; float: left; display: block;">
<li class="clone" style="width: 600px; float: left; display: block;">
</ul>
</div>
<ol class="flex-control-nav">
<li>
<a class="">1</a>
</li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
</ol>
<ul class="flex-direction-nav">
<li>
<a class="prev" href="#">Previous</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="next" href="#">Next</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Finally, here is a link to the jsFiddle file (I saw someone wanted that in other flexslider post):

I've tried every combo of class from the CSS in the manualControl: "", but I'm just guessing.
If anyone can help this newbie out, I would be very appreciative. Explicit instructions are always appreciated.
