Is it possible to add a click event to the anything slider controls

I am using Anything slider in my website where I want to add a click event to the controls. Is this possible? When I tried to do this my event is not triggering. Could anyone have idea about this?

My click event details:

 $(function(){
$('.thumbNav li a').click(function () {
$(".spec li a").css('color','#fff');
    });
});

The reason you code isn't working is because the navigation controls don't exist until after AnythingSlider has initialized. So, you really have two options:

1) Use your function within the onInitialized callback function (demo):

var tabContainers = $('div.spec-nav > div');
tabContainers.hide().filter(':first').show();

$(function () {
    $('#slider1, #slider2, #slider3').anythingSlider({
        theme: 'metallic',
        easing: 'easeInOutBack',
        navigationFormatter: function (index, panel) {
            return ['Slab', 'Parking Lot', 'Drive', 'Glorius Dawn', 'Bjork?', 'Traffic Circle'][index - 1];
        },

        // Callback when the plugin finished initializing
        onInitialized: function (e, slider) {
            $('div.spec-nav ul li a').click(function () {
                tabContainers.hide();
                tabContainers.filter(this.hash).show();
                $('div.spec-nav ul li a').removeClass('spec-actv');
                $(this).addClass('spec-actv');
                return false;
            }).filter(':first').click();
        },

        onSlideComplete: function (slider) {
            // alert('Welcome to Slide #' + slider.currentPage);
        }
    });

});

2) Build this functionality when the navigation tabs are created... If you look at the navigationFormatter documentation, you'll see that you can return any attributes for the tab; this uses the jQuery() method of creating DOM elements. 

$('#slider').anythingSlider({
  navigationFormatter : function(i, panel){
    return {
      'class'    : 'imatab',
      'data-hdr' : 'Header: ' + panel.find('h2').text(), // save text from the h2 in the panel
      'title'    : 'This text will end up in a tooltip',
      'html'     : '<a class="panel' + i + '" href="#"><span>' + ['Cat', 'Dog', 'Bear', 'Wolf', 'Horse', 'Bjork?'][index - 1] + '</span></a>',
      'click'    : function(){ alert("AHHH I've been clicked"); }
    };
  }
});

And if you are using jQuery 1.8+, you can pass any jQuery instance methods like this:

$('#slider').anythingSlider({
  navigationFormatter : function(i, panel){
    return {
      class : 'imatab',
      on    : {
          click : function( event ) {
              // do something
          }
      },
      html  : '<a class="panel' + i + '" href="#"><span>' + i + '</span></a>'
    }
  }
});

I didn't make a demo for this method, but I hope you get the idea.

Have you checked the JS console for errors? You have missed the $ before selector inside the event handler.

And just in case, you can consider using live method to bind events.

EDIT:

In your fiddle there is no element with class 'spec' - links Tab# are in div with class spec-nav. And the following code works fine:

$('.thumbNav li a').click(function () {
    $(".spec-nav li a").css('color','#f0f');
});

Check updated fiddle.
