Simple slideshow with jQuery
I like this code;


There are perhaps a few too many newlines, especially here:

         });

      };

   }


}

work and auto are unfortunate function names, you could do better
slide = $('.slide'), &lt;- I would have called that slides since you are almost bound to select more than 1 slide with this selector
The repeated magical constants 3000 and 200 should be identified, named and centralized
