Can anyone figure out why the navigation buttons don't work on this simple css/javascript image carousel? - https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_js_slideshow_auto
The images successfully transition in/out automatically but the manual controls don't work. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
Here's the HTML/CSS/Script
