hi again. best wishes for the new year and so (1 week late) but hey.
as i am working on this slideshow i’ve encountered a problem.
for some reason i can’t seem to get my left button to appear when there are for example 3 pages and you pressed the next page button.
maybe a strange formula to explain a problem. but i hope someone can help me. i’ve include the total code. at the bottom you find the code to show/hide
when entering the gallery, the previous button doesn’t show up. that good
but then when i press the next button, the code should show the prev. button. and hide the next button on the last page. i tried to implent an older code that worked fine. but it doesn’t with this one 
plz help thanx
