The Carousel Challenge - plugin not working

I added all the code in the same way the solution showed, as far as I know. However, I can't get the plugin to show in the preview. All that appears is the divs stacked on top of each other. I took out the Slides.html and inserted some divs to make the code easier to find errors; it should work regardless. What am I doing wrong?

I think you need to use the code exactly as they wanted. Otherwise the JavaScript will not see what it expects.
