Hello, I am pretty new to js but not new to coding. I am trying to make the thickbox plugin (uses jquery lib) load the first image on page load. As it is, the thickbox image viewer starts on a mouse click event. i want it to start when teh page loads.
So far I have only been able to accomplish loading the 1st image but it was outside the scope of the main function i guess because the "next image" button didn't work and all the variables i tried calling wouldn't work so i just cheated and used the static values . If anyone could help or point me in the right direction that would be awesome.... thanks peoples!
sorry about not posting the code, like i said it's the thickbox plugin that i want to make load the first image of the given library, as you can see it's when the user clicks on the thumbnail/image that the gal does it's magic, the on click is where it gets all it's information... the gallery is created dynamically so i can't just say gallery (insert static gallery name here) or what have you....
