I'm trying to link to a specific slide in a slider from a button located on a separate page, hence anchor links won't work. I thought about employing anchor links within the slider document, located above the slider, but that didn't work.

Ideally, I would like to be able to access the specific slides in a manner like this.

http://myslider.com/index.html#1 http://myslider.com/index.html#2 http://myslider.com/index.html#3, etc.

I am using the Awkward Showcase slider. Each slide is located in within a div like this:

<div class="showcase-slide"> <!-- Put the slide content in a div with the class .showcase-content. --> <div class="showcase-content"> <img src="images/01.jpg" alt="01" /> </div> </div>

Here is the example page for the slider: http://showcase.awkwardgroup.com/

Basically, I'm looking for a way to load directly to slide 2 or 4, etc. through a specified url.

I know that I need to link to the array, and I think I need to add something to this function... possibly.

 var contentArray = []; var thumbnailArray = []; var content_count = 0; showcase.children('.showcase-slide').each(function() { // Get content var object = jQuery(this); content_count++; if(window.location.hash) { // Fragment exists var myhash = window.location.hash.substring(1); $("a[i++'" + myhash + "']").click(); }
