JQuery's BXSlider implementation into my top nav

[James_Hibbard]

For issue 1 you can try this but Pullo will probably have a better solution

	[B]$('.bxparent').show();[/B]
			$('.bxslider').bxSlider({
			  minSlides: 3,
			  maxSlides: 6,
			  slideWidth: 170,
			  slideMargin: 10
			});
		[B]	$('.bxparent').hide();[/B]

Not really
The only thing that occurs to me is that bxslider has a callback which fires when the slider is loaded (onSliderLoad), so you could use that:

$('.bxslider').bxSlider({
  minSlides: 3,
  maxSlides: 6,
  slideWidth: 170,
  slideMargin: 10,
  onSliderLoad: function(){
    $(".bxparent").hide();
  }
});

You would of course have to ensure that the bxparent is visible on page load.

Other than that, you can get around the problem by using visibility:hidden and visibility:visible instead of display:block and display:none
