I'll give you a hint... look for the word "disabled" in the JS code and reason out what they are doing.

(this cracks me up: if (this.dom){ //if modern browsers (ie: Firefox, IE5+)

i have been doing this for about four hours. it is not that simple.

i changed this, which did the trick, but then the Back button caused the image to go forward.

inter_slide.prototype.buttons=function(bool){
if(this.no_c)
return;
var next=this.go('next'+this.issid), prev=this.go('prev'+this.issid);
next.disabled=prev.disabled=!bool;
next.title=bool? 'next' : '';
prev.title=bool? 'previous' : '';


inter_slide.prototype.buttons=function(bool){
if(this.no_c)
return;
var next=this.go('next'+this.issid), prev=this.go('prev'+this.issid);
// next.disabled=prev.disabled=!bool;
next.title=bool? 'next' : '';
prev.title=bool? 'previous' : '';

i will pay you to make this happen for me. please.
