Having problem closing off

Having problem closing off

Hi

Hoping someone can help me please.

I'm very very new to jquery and i am trying to get this to work.

  1. jQuery(function($) {  
    $(this).hover(function(){

                      $(pth).attr("src",pth.src.replace(/.gif/g,'_active.gif'));// mouse over Image

                      },function(){

                          $(pth).attr("src",pth.src.replace(/_active.gif/g,'.gif'));

                          });

                          });

    $('#slideshow').slideshow({
                timeout: 5000,
                fadetime:2000,
                type: 'sequence'
        });

    });





















I don't think i'm closing each function correctly and finding it extremely difficult to understand how to close off things... very different from CSS! LOL

I'm getting an error in firebug that is

  1. missing ) after argument list
    $('#slideshow').slideshow({\n
this is the way i'm loading the plugins.
  1. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="skins/{VAL_SKIN}/jquery.slideshow.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="skins/{VAL_SKIN}/jquery.fancybox-1.2.1.pack.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="skins/{VAL_SKIN}/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script>


    </head>
    <body>

    my html

    <script type="text/javascript" src="skins/{VAL_SKIN}/effects.js"></script>
    </body>
    </html>












I'd truly appreciate your help..... also is there a program that will show me where it should be closing off? such as dreamweaver?

Thanks once again.
