jQuery Coda Slider: A Problem

jQuery Coda Slider: A Problem

Hello everybody,

I am a JS beginner and I have a question referring to the coda slider presented by
jqueryfordesigners.

The description says:

This technique demonstrates an accessible 'Coda'-like slider interface, but in addition, allows you to place links to the sliding content anywhere on the page and have the effect (and navigation) still work. 

My problem:

Since the links to the sliding content look e.g. like this
  1. http://jqueryfordesigners.com/demo/coda-slider.html#books

now my link to the top and my skip links don't work any more, because of the # used:

  1. <a href="#top">top</a>
  2. <a class="skip" href="#maincontent">Skip to main content</a>

My question:

Does any of you savvy people see a solution to this problem, so that I can use these links even on the page with the coda slider, or do I have to live with this disadvantage?

Thanks a lot for any help!
