Here's the example: http://ashleybest.co.uk/mottie_is_the_best/index.html
What I’m trying to do is style the links ('Aaaa', 'Bbbb' etc) that are on slide ‘one’ the same as the external links that control the main slider when it is on the current slide. The links on slide 'one' control the second slider on the right.
How is it possible?
Here's how the css looks:
.link-1.current, .link-1:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#BAA5EC; }
.link-2.current, .link-2:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#BAA5EC; }
.link-3.current, .link-3:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#BAA5EC; }
.link-4.current, .link-4:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#BAA5EC; }
.link-a.current, .link-a:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#BAA5EC; }
.link-b.current, .link-b:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#BAA5EC; }
.link-c.current, .link-c:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#BAA5EC; }
.link-d.current, .link-d:hover { text-decoration:underline; color:#BAA5EC; }
