Hello please help me I am having difficulites creating a rotating image in my homepage

I'm trying to use the jQuery Cycle Lite Plugin in SilverStripe but always get the error "$("#slideshow) is null

1. put jquery.cycle.lite.js and jquery-1.3.2.js in mysite/javascript

2. in Homepage_Controller I have put

function init() {

      
   Requirements::javascript("../../../mysite/javascript/jquery-1.3.2.min.js");
   Requirements::javascript("../../../mysite/javascript/jquery.cycle.lite.js");
   
   
   
   parent::init();

3. in Homepage.ss I have included the following in the head of the document

<script type="text/javascript" src="mysite/javascript/jquery.cycle.lite.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="mysite/javascript/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#slideshow').cycle();
});
</script>

I have tried using the jQuery.noConflict (); code but this returns the error $ is not a function.

I have also used the following code :

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery('#slideshow').cycle();
});

but this returns the error
jQuery("#slideshow") is not a function,

I feel I have tried everything possible to get this to work but it will not, any help will be appreciated!

I think the problem occurs, because you're including jQuery and the cycle plugin twice. Once in the init method, and a second time in your template source-code. Get rid of either one of those and load jQuery first (as jamesg pointed out).

Hey thanks for replying, unfortunately it didnt wotk, I have attached the codes t this reply, if you can find any errors I will really appreciate it, thanks alot.

Hi, I have followed your advice and modified the code accordingly (#'slideshow' to '.slideshow') but the same error message occurs, if I remove:

$(document).ready(function()

the error message turns to $('.slideshow').cycle is not a function...I am totally lost as to what is going wrong. I think I have tried pretty much everything! would there be any reason why it is not recognising the function?
