PROBLEM: I can't get a basic slideshow to function on my website

[EatsYourBaby]

I'm writing a website in html and css but I am a complete newb to javascript.

This fellow here: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquer...ing-slideshow/ has created a really easy-looking tutorial for how to make a simple slideshow that seems to be exactly what I want.

I copy/pasted his exact code without any changes into my html file, just to make sure everything is set up correctly. I know that the html and css aspects are working the way they should be, but the javascript isn't doing anything. Everything is framed and centered properly, but it shows every slide in the same exact place without any transitions.

CONDENSED TL;DR VERSION:

• Copy/Pasted guy's html/css/jquery slideshow
• everything but javascript is functioning
• tried external style/script files, as well as inline code
• tried multiple browsers
• i'm only working off my local directory
• i'm running Mac OS 10.7.5
