I would like to use Cycle by malsup with Thumbnails like in this example, but, is there a way I can avoid adding a separate unordered list to html markup that specifies thumbnail images?

This example works great, but, the thumbs need to be square and images in slider are rectangular and the pageAnchorBuilder scales the original but doesn't crop to a different pixel ratio.

I've seen an example (nivo) where the "rel" attribute can be used in the to specify a path to a separate thumbnail for that slide which the javascript can "see" without needing a separate unordered list in markup.

Any suggestions? There's probably an example of Cycle that can accomplish this somewhere... If someone can point me in right direction.

Thank you,
CM
