First time poster, longtime reader. I am working on a basic jQuery slider. My problem ... Create a slider that uses only a small amount of jQuery and can be duplicated on one page to create another slider.
My current problem? Getting the second slider to work. I just duplicated the code that changed the CSS, but it's DRY (don't repeat yourself).
I want to minimize the code to work for two different sliders. THANKS S.O. Community!

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$('#checkbox').change(function(){
setInterval(function () {
moveRight();
}, 3000);
});
var slideCount = $('#slider ul li').length;
var slideWidth = $('#slider ul li').width();
var slideHeight = $('#slider ul li').height();
var sliderUlWidth = slideCount * slideWidth;
$('#slider').css({ width: slideWidth, height: slideHeight });
$('#slider ul').css({ width: sliderUlWidth, marginLeft: - slideWidth });
$('#slider ul li:last-child').prependTo('#slider ul');
function moveLeft() {
$('#slider ul').animate({
left: + slideWidth
}, 200, function () {
$('#slider ul li:last-child').prependTo('#slider ul');
$('#slider ul').css('left', '');
});
};
function moveRight() {
$('#slider ul').animate({
left: - slideWidth
}, 200, function () {
$('#slider ul li:first-child').appendTo('#slider ul');
$('#slider ul').css('left', '');
});
};
$('a.control_prev').click(function () {
moveLeft();
});
$('a.control_next').click(function () {
moveRight();
});
});
