Scott:

I have a Slide show program called Jssor which also uses jQuery. I have links inside the slide show which invoke Fancybox3 to display a text box describing that slide. I need the slide show to pause while the focus is on Fancybox. Jssor has a method called $Pause and $Play and I can get it to work (outside of the jQuery class) by using buttons (manually clicking.) The main issue is that I need it to work without user interaction. My plan is to put the code into Fancybox.js so it will pause/play the slide show automatically. I know almost nothing about JavaScript so please keep it simple.

I left out (below) a bunch of code thinking I would make this simple and hoping it’s not needed for this question. This code does work, I just need to know how to make/invoke the last line (using JS not HTML) without user input.
