Hello everyone!
First off, I have a link to a jsfiddle with the code just to keep this post as short as possible. Here it is: https://jsfiddle.net/v5wmq45s/
The gist is, you click on the scaled-down image, and it appears in a lightbox with the actual sized image along with a title. There are two arrows on either side, and I need help getting those to show the next/previous image and title element.
I'm sorry if my description is vague and terrible... maybe the fiddle will help clear it up. If you need any further information, please let me know! Thank you for the help. It is greatly appreciated!!

event on the img
previous to or next to the one in a li
with the class selected
(which you're adding, but not removing from others in your code).
You'll need to handle the edge cases where the first item is selected (either hide the previous arrow or make it fire the click
event on the last item to 'wrap' the gallery slider) or the last item.
You can either use .click()
with no parameters to trigger on the selected element, or .trigger('click')
.

And I did hit the "run" button in the menu.
