I’m trying to use Coda Slider 2.0 on the home page of a WordPress theme, and it is stuck on the preloader. In Firefox and Safari I can see the animated looping progess bar, background style and “Loading…”. In Chrome I see the same, but the image link to the progress bar is broken.
Here’s the section of code I’m using on the header.php file of my page for this purpose (jQuery is loaded earlier in the header):
<?php if (is_home()) {?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/jquery.coda-slider-2.0.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/css/coda-slider-2.0.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$().ready(function() {
$('#coda-slider-1').codaSlider();
});
</script>
<?php } ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body <?php body_class(); ?> class="coda-slider-no-js">
<div id="wrapper">
<?php include("contactPanel.php"); ?>
<img id="agent" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/agent.png"></img>

Any help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks for reading!
Best thing to do it use the Developer menu in Safari (Preferences>>Advanced) or Firebug with Firefox to see what JS is loading and if there are JS errors.
