Flexslider Slide Width Issue

width loading flexslider

I have a strange issue using flexslider. The Slide LIs don't get the correct width so that all slides are shown. This only occurs on first page load. As soon as I switch to another tab and switch back everything looks fine. Maybe a JS Loading Problem?!

Screenshot: here

flexslider.css

.flexslider {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
.flexslider .slides > li {text-align: center; display: none; -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;} /* Hide the slides before the JS is loaded. Avoids image jumping */
.flexslider .slides li.flex-active-slide img {text-align:center; width: auto; -webkit-border-radius: 6px; -moz-border-radius: 6px; -o-border-radius: 6px; border-radius: 6px; box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0,0,0,.2); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0,0,0,.2); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0,0,0,.2); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0,0,0,.2); }

JS

$(window).load(function() {
    $('.flexslider').flexslider({
        controlNav: true,
        directionNav: true
    }); 
});

I've tried it with $(document).ready(function() too, but still the same problem.

Any ideas?

Well, Werner.

I ended up with your solution. Unfortunately.

This is otherwise another way to do it.

/* SLIDERS in content */
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
    animation: "slide", 
    start: function(slider){
        $('.flexslider').resize();
    }
});

The reason I chose not to use the above code is that there was a delay and made a little jump when the slides updated to the correct width.

If anyone has a cleaner solution - please tell me. I am using the latest flexslider there is - and this issue only seems to occur sometimes. But when it does... arghhh.
