I'm trying to follow the instructions on the Github page. Just testing with a simple example, but can't seem to get it working.
https://github.com/kenwheeler/slick
Can anyone see any issues with the below code:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Now Amazing Webpage</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.slick/1.3.7/slick.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div class="your-class">
<div><p>test1</p></div>
<div><p>test2</p></div>
<div><p>test3</p></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.slick/1.3.7/slick.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.your-class').slick();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

Changed // to http:// and it works fine.
