Custom Link Trigger for Previous/Next Slide in Basic jQuery Slider

Question

I am working on a slider project based on the Basic jQuery Slider ( http://www.basic-slider.com ) creatd by John Cobb ( https://github.com/jcobb/basic-jquery-slider ).

The problem: Given my project specs, instead of using the default controls, I need to add a link below the current slide that shows the title of the next slide and when that link is clicked the slider goes to the that slide.

My question: Is there a way to trigger the move to the next slide using a simple jQuery click event (eg, $('a.next).click(...[trigger]...)) ? How can I call the trigger?

Thank you very much for your help.

If you set the default controls to hidden, either by setting the opacity or display none, you should be able to use this code:

$('a.next').click(function() {
    $('.bjqs-next a').trigger('click');
});

$('a.prev').click(function() {
    $('.bjqs-prev a').trigger('click');
});
