JQuery :: Dynamically Create Scrollable Info Element With Sliding Animation

I'm using three elements and jQuery to create a scrollable information element with a sliding animation (similar to this. I'm running into issues when resetting those three elements to prepare for the next prev/next animation, however. The issue is in my logic - jQuery's selectors will reverse themselves using the code I have.

Javascript Code:
Original - javascript Code
$('#name.current').removeClass('current').addClass('prev');
$('#name.next').removeClass('next').addClass('current');
$('#name.prev').removeClass('prev').addClass('next');
$('#name.current').removeClass('current').addClass('prev');$('#name.next').removeClass('next').addClass('current');$('#name.prev').removeClass('prev').addClass('next');

As you can see, the last step will always reverse the first step These elements do need to be reset in one way or another so that the information can be loaded appropriately (from an XML file). and then animated again.
