Using cycle 2.7x i didn't have any problem with this however I had to upgrade to jquery cycle 2.88 because 2.7x doesn't support cleartypeNoBg. Below is the code I am using. As I say it worked before.
$('#hero').cycle({
fx: 'scrollHorz',
speed: 2000,
timeout: 12000,
next: '#next',
prev: '#prev',
pager: '#pager',
pagerAnchorBuilder: pagerFactory
});
function pagerFactory(idx, slide) {
var s = idx > 2 ? ' style="display:none"' : '';
return '<li'+s+'><a href="#" '+s+'><img src="images/nav/invisi.png" height="16px" width="16px" /></a></li>';
};
<ul id="pager"></ul>
Any help anyone can provide will be much appreciated.
--EDIT--
I have solve the problem. It was all in the styles
