JS: Remove arrows when switching between two players

Hi all

I’ve followed the tutorial:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/stepcarousel.htm

To create the picture viewer on this page:

http://carbonstudio.co.uk/newcarbonsite/wordpress/?page_id=56

The problem I have is with the blue left and right arrows. Underneath the viewers are four icons, two of them switch between a video and picture viewer. When I switch to the video player the arrows remain on the page, I only want the arrows on the page when it is on the picture viewer.

I think I can remove the arrows by putting some z-index stuff on the buttons but the part I’m struggling with is giving the two arrows some id’s in Jquery:
