How do I float arrows and bullet points inline for JQUERY content slider with CSS?

Question

Need help aligning some elements in css. Currently have a small content slider that will display simple lists, like news posts etc. Everything runs fine, I just need help aligning the arrows and pagination points. I'd like the bullet points in the middle of each arrow.

This is what it currently looks like

Answer 1

in your style.css you need to change following:

• on line 562 ie #slider1 .buttons give negative top-margin like given below:

  margin: -10px 10px 0 0

• on line 616 ie #slider1 .pager Remove clear:both

Then your slider will behave normally.
