Thanks--that definitely got it a lot cleaner. I ended up needing to
do:
var $slide = $(window.location.hash);
if ($slide.length) {
// found a match on hash id
var $slideshow = $slide.parent().parent();
var $index = $slideshow.children().index($slide.parent());
}
But that was because of some HTML that I'm not terribly happy about
but can't work around. Thanks for the push in a much better direction,
and the great plugin.
