Comment to issue #36 about liquidslider HOT 2 CLOSED

The slider also adapts on resize (for orientation changes). So you
could also just trigger a resize event with jQuery.

I would probably be better to just leave it in the hands of the
developer. I want to find reasons to remove code rather than add more
in. This can be added case by case if someone needs it. I'm rebuilding
the site and plan to make a bunch more tutorials, so this is probably
something I should cover.

Its not really an issue, just sharing my idea and thoughts about issue #36

So we found here that if slider is initialised (rendered) within
display:none; container,
where dimensions within this container are set to % or not set at all,
then all elements have dimensions 0x0 (thats what firebug shows when its
collapsed).
Therefore it is normal that slider have no clue what dimension should it set
itself to,
and it initialises with some random stuff. Then after expanding it looks
like messed up.

Wraping it into div and setting some predefined dimensions within this
hidden container,
will fix it and give slider data which it will adjust to, but then - whole
idea about liguid,
not work here because its constant dimensions not %

While we know what happen, how it happen and what cause this,
we may think about some solution.
So if it initialise with unknown dimensions and after expanding it
not-adjust,
to new dimensions then...

How about adding some event which would be fired when parent element /
container,
change its dimensions, and slider would adjust / refresh self to this new
dimensions.
This should nicely fix such issues
