Using Zurb's Foundation 4.1.5 (latest version), the Orbit image slider works great. Unfortunately it looks really for the first couple of seconds where all the images appear as a giant bulleted list. Then the JavaScript kicks in and it all is beautiful.
How do I avoid the initial ugliness? Can I preload the images? Can I have everything with display: none
or visibility: hidden
until it's ready?
Per Foundation documentation
We've cleaned up how Orbit initializes by adding a wrapper feature
that stops the ugly flash of unstyled content. Here's the markup
needed:
To add the preloader, simply include a div class="preloader" right
inside the wrapper, like so:
<div class="slideshow-wrapper">
<div class="preloader"></div>
<ul data-orbit>
<!-- Orbit slides -->
</ul>
</div>
