JQuery :: Cycle -- Hiding And Showing 'prev' And 'next' Links

well, I thought this wasn't a cycle question specifically, but it looks like it is. [URL]

in case it's not ok to just post link to my post about this on "using jQuery" forum:

this is code in cycle plugin to hide "next" nav at last slide, hide "prev" nav at first slide:

$('a#prev')[index == 0 ? 'hide' : 'show']();
$('a#next')[index == opts.slideCount - 1 ? 'hide' : 'show']();

but what if instead of just 'hide' and 'show' I want to call a function (because I want to, let's say, just change the font-color of the link instead of hiding it)? so I did:

$('a#next')[index == opts.slideCount - 1 ? 'disableNext' : 'showNext']();
}
function disableNext() {
$('a#next').css('color','EEEEEE');

[Code]....

(and what I actually want to do is change the link to a non-link by doing sthg like $('span....').html(change code to non-link..), etc... )
