I'm a designer doing a commemoration project for Red Cross Australia's 2004 Tsunami clean up efforts. The project is a timeline to commemorate all the work that has been done for the last few years.

Note: As a first time user I wasn't allowed to include more than 1 link, so I'm sorry for all the urls I have pasted in.

I'm using two jquery plugins to create the timeline:

This horizontal scroll plugin from JQuery for designers

See here for a direct link to the demo timeline-

I have also used the Colorbox jquery plugin for displaying pictures and media

There is functionality on the timeline for users to click and drag or use the mouse scroll wheel.

I have an issue where the mouse scroll wheel doesn't work after I add the colorbox code to the page. The timeline works fine on its own as does colorbox, its just when they are added together.

As a designer primarily, I don’t know how to fix the issue, but I have narrowed down the focus to some sort of conflict when the jquery.min.js file is linked to for the colorbox plugin. The mouse wheel scrolling returns if I remove the link to this js in the head.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

I have the inital part of the project up and running here:

A: 

I have worked through my issue by simply placing the link to the jquery.js file after the jquery.min.js files.

I think the jquery.min.js file was reseting a value that was set by the jquery.js file.

By placing the call to this file afterwards the value doesn't get reset.
