<p>I'm looking to get some help on using the <a href="http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cycle</a> library for jQuery. I'm in the <a href="http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/begin.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">beginner</a> demos, and I got the absolute first one completed. This is the second one on the page.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script src="jquery-1.2.6.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="jquery.cycle.all.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
    $(document).ready(function() {

    $('.pics').cycle({
        fx:      'scrollDown',
        speed:    300,
        timeout:  2000
    });
&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>My CSS is identical to the one on the page, that's why I put .pics in the quotes.</p>

I will take a guess that this is just not working for you.
You need to balance your braces and parentheses.
Please
help others to help you by saying what the actual problem is next time.
Try this:
```
```
$(document).ready(function() { 
    $('.pics').cycle({  
        fx: 'scrollDown',     
        speed: 300,     
        timeout: 2000 
    });
});
```
```
