bxslider calculating wrong viewport size on load

Question

Anyway I recently started using bxslider and I\'m having an issue with it.

It could be that you're calling the bxSlider function too early. If you're invoking it from

$(document).ready(function() { ... });

consider instead using

$(window).load(function() { ... });

The difference between using those two functions is that (document).ready waits until the DOM has been shown to the user in it's initial state, whereas (window).load actually waits until all resources have been loaded onto the DOM.
