Paginated jQuery Result Set from XML File Problem

Hello there guys! I am having a spot of bother with a code I am developing to show 10 Magazines at a time that is being fed from an xml file. I have it working to some extent, FF and IE7+8 do not like it, maybe as it says there is an error on line 62 - being the core function calling the data to be fed in.

Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
<title>Brave Creative - Online Archive</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/global.css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

 $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "issues.xml",
    dataType: "xml",
    success: function(xml) {

    var shelf = $('#shelf-items');
                var startIndex = 0; 
                var howMany = 10; 
                var $issues = $(xml).find('issue'); 
                var totalIssues = $issues.length;
    var numPages = Math.ceil(totalIssues / howMany)

    $('span.issuecount').html(+totalIssues+'&nbsp;Issues - '+numPages+'&nbsp;Pages');

                var displayIssues = function() {
                      var $issuesPaginated = $issues.slice( startIndex , (totalIssues - startIndex) + howMany );
                      $('#shelf-items li').fadeOut(500); 
                      $issuesPaginated.each(function(){
                          var id = $(this).attr('id');
                          var date = $(this).find('date').text();
                          var cover = $(this).find('cover').text();
                          var issue = $(this).find('issuenumber').text();
                          var url = $(this).find('url').text();
                          $('<li id="'+id+'"></li>').html('<a href="'+url+'"><img src="images/covers/'+cover+'" alt="" /></a><br />'+date+' - #'+issue+'').fadeIn(500).appendTo(shelf);
                      });
                }

                $('#prevIssueButton').click(function() {
                    if( startIndex < howMany) {
                        startIndex -= howMany;
                        displayIssues();
                    }else {
      startIndex = 0;
                        displayIssues();
      $('span.error').html('No Issues to Display - You are now on Page 1').fadeIn(300).fadeOut(3000);
                    }
                });
                $('#nextIssueButton').click(function() {
      if( startIndex + howMany <= totalIssues) {
                        startIndex += howMany;
                        displayIssues();
                    }else {
      $('span.error').html('No Issues to Display - You are now on Page 1').fadeIn(300).fadeOut(3000);
                        startIndex = 0;
                        displayIssues();

                    }
                });
                displayIssues().fadeIn(500); 
            }
   }); // end ajax call

}); // end document-ready

The previous and next buttons do not work correctly, for instance I click next and I go to page 2, click next again - its blank, and click one last time I get told I have no more results to view. But if i click previous to start of with and go back 3 times (to the start again) then click next I can cycle back up to the same issue, this has really baffled me, any help would be deeply appreciated!
