Hello. I’ve been doing a web developing course on youtube called Introduction to Dreamweaver by Timothy Kywn. We have gotten to a part where we load a javascript to make a sliding banner. He does not go over the java because that is beyond the scope of the course. We simply copy pasted it into the website. I would like to make some modifications to it. Here’s what the slider looks like now:

Here’s what I would like: instead of having that text menu drop down with every new image, I would like for it to come down ONLY when the user has his mouse over the banner. I tried my best to google around but I’m ignorant on java. I’m hoping this is an easy enough task to where someone can provide help! Below is the script (by Timothy Kywn):
(function($){
$.fn.s3Slider = function(vars) {
var element = this;
var timeOut = (vars.timeOut != undefined) ? vars.timeOut : 4000;
var current = null;
var timeOutFn = null;
var faderStat = true;
var mOver = false;
var items = $(“#” + element[0].id + “Content .” + element[0].id + “Image”);
var itemsSpan = $(“#” + element[0].id + “Content .” + element[0].id + “Image span”);
items.each(function(i) {
$(items[i]).mouseover(function() {
mOver = true;
});
$(items[i]).mouseout(function() {
mOver = false;
fadeElement(true);
});
});
var fadeElement = function(isMouseOut) {
var thisTimeOut = (isMouseOut) ? (timeOut/2) : timeOut;
thisTimeOut = (faderStat) ? 10 : thisTimeOut;
if(items.length > 0) {
timeOutFn = setTimeout(makeSlider, thisTimeOut);
} else {
console.log(“Poof..”);
}
}
var makeSlider = function() {
current = (current != null) ? current : items[(items.length-1)];
var currNo = jQuery.inArray(current, items) + 1
currNo = (currNo == items.length) ? 0 : (currNo – 1);
var newMargin = $(element).width() * currNo;
if(faderStat == true) {
if(!mOver) {
$(items[currNo]).fadeIn((timeOut/6), function() {
if($(itemsSpan[currNo]).css(‘bottom’) == 0) {
$(itemsSpan[currNo]).slideUp((timeOut/6), function() {
faderStat = false;
current = items[currNo];
if(!mOver) {
fadeElement(false);
}
});
} else {
$(itemsSpan[currNo]).slideDown((timeOut/6), function() {
faderStat = false;
current = items[currNo];
if(!mOver) {
fadeElement(false);
}
});
}
});
}
} else {
if(!mOver) {
if($(itemsSpan[currNo]).css(‘bottom’) == 0) {
$(itemsSpan[currNo]).slideDown((timeOut/6), function() {
$(items[currNo]).fadeOut((timeOut/6), function() {
faderStat = true;
current = items[(currNo+1)];
if(!mOver) {
fadeElement(false);
}
});
});
} else {
$(itemsSpan[currNo]).slideUp((timeOut/6), function() {
$(items[currNo]).fadeOut((timeOut/6), function() {
faderStat = true;
current = items[(currNo+1)];
if(!mOver) {
fadeElement(false);
}
});
});
}
}
}
}
makeSlider();
};
})(jQuery);
