thanks for posting that, ive tried putting the literal tags around the script resulting in the following
{literal}<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function() {
$('#featured').orbit();
});
</script>{/literal}
but the slider still doesnt appear to be working
this is my full code, am i missing something ?
