start stop slider

[jasc2k]

hi all,
Unfortunatly I am not a javascript programmer so have no way of knowing if what I would like to do is possible. I have the below script implemented into my site:

http://www.millautosupplies.co.uk/htmllogin/index.php

and as you can see there is an image to the right on the startstop slider and there is some text to the left a <h1> and a <p> below. You can also see that the text display is rubbish and cannot be read properly however I am not willing to completly change the background. Can anyone see a way of changing this script to use another graphic instead of the text on the left but keeping the slides directions the same?
Thanks in advance
James

// SET THIS VARIABLE FOR DELAY, 1000 = 1 SECOND
var delayLength = 4000;
	
function doMove(panelWidth, tooFar) {
	var leftValue = $("#mover").css("left");
	
	// Fix for IE
	if (leftValue == "auto") { leftValue = 0; };
	
	var movement = parseFloat(leftValue, 10) - panelWidth;
	
	if (movement == tooFar) {
		$(".slide img").animate({
			"top": -200
		}, function() {
			$("#mover").animate({
				"left": 0
			}, function() {
				$(".slide img").animate({
					"top": 20
				});
			});
		});
	}
	else {
		$(".slide img").animate({
			"top": -200
		}, function() {
			$("#mover").animate({
				"left": movement
			}, function() {
				$(".slide img").animate({
					"top": 20
				});
			});
		});
	}
}

$(function(){
	
    var $slide1 = $("#slide-1");

	var panelWidth = $slide1.css("width");
	var panelPaddingLeft = $slide1.css("paddingLeft");
	var panelPaddingRight = $slide1.css("paddingRight");

	panelWidth = parseFloat(panelWidth, 10);
	panelPaddingLeft = parseFloat(panelPaddingLeft, 10);
	panelPaddingRight = parseFloat(panelPaddingRight, 10);

	panelWidth = panelWidth + panelPaddingLeft + panelPaddingRight;
	
	var numPanels = $(".slide").length;
	var tooFar = -(panelWidth * numPanels);
	var totalMoverwidth = numPanels * panelWidth;
	$("#mover").css("width", totalMoverwidth);

	$("#slider").append('<a href="#" id="slider-stopper">Stop</a>');

	sliderIntervalID = setInterval(function(){
		doMove(panelWidth, tooFar);
	}, delayLength);
	
	$("#slider-stopper").click(function(){
		if ($(this).text() == "Stop") {
			clearInterval(sliderIntervalID);
		 	$(this).text("Start");
		}
		else {
			sliderIntervalID = setInterval(function(){
				doMove(panelWidth, tooFar);
			}, delayLength);
		 	$(this).text("Stop");
		}
		 
	});

});

Why not put an opaque background on the H1 using CSS, perhaps 25% white or something? You could use a PNG for this.
