How to add pause button?
I try with this, ..no luck.

var slideshow = $('#divslide').slides();
var api = slideshow.data('slide');
// the pause code:
$('#pausebutton').click(function(){
slideshow.pause(); //--> is it correct?
});

I also tried:
api.slideshow.pause();
api.pause();
none of them working properly.

api.pause() is correct but your api variable will be null or undefined because slideshow.data('slide') will not return anything, what you want is slideshow.data('slides') (plural).
