How to hide images until AFTER jquery flexslider finishes loading

Question

I tried to integrate wootheme\'s Flexslider on my site and it looks/works great except for when it is loading.

When you refresh the page with the slider, before flexslid

Answer 1

Also Found that the slides flash before loading and display stacked down the page with list item bullets.

Only for a second. Then it worked fine. I didn't realize I hadn't included the flexslider.css file because I had already turned of any navigation that would have shown broken nav img links.

Remember to Include the CSS!

Answer 2

… i had the same problem, tried the js solution above - it worked well but then i realized when js is disabled for some reason - that nothing will be shown up, so i decided to look for a non js solution:

i just put some thing like that for the specific slider:

.MySlider {
  .flexslider .slides img { 
  max-height: 400px; 
  width: 940px;
 }
}

worked well, even responsive. Hope that may help!

Answer 3

I experienced a similar issue when I forgot to include the flexslider.css

Answer 4

Set the default style for "display" to "none". using show() will change this style value.

Answer 5

You need to deal with the callback functions for the plugin you are using hide all the images from CSS by using a class let's say flexImages

$(document).ready(function() {

  $('.flexslider').flexslider({
    animation: "slide",
    animationLoop: false,
    itemWidth: 210,
    itemMargin: 5,
    minItems: 2,
    maxItems: 4, 
    start: function(){
         $('.flexImages').show(); 
    },
  });
});

I just set in the CSS of the div that contains the slider: overflow:hidden ; height: the height of the images you use, then it works perfect!

update: this is not a responsive solution as the slider changes the size... what can I do??
