Orbit slider doesn't work for me if its container is initially hidden

[billyroebuck]

I'm using ZURB's Orbit slider within a custom made accordion. If the accordion container is hidden when the page loads, and then clicked on, the slider doesn't work.

Has anyone run into this issue? Any ideas on how to fix this?

same here. This happens to me when the slider is a partial that has just been loaded. My temporary work around for this was to set a timeout to ensure that the view is loaded before the slider is initialized.

I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I wonder if calling the orbit function via JavaScript when the panel is displayed would solve the issue. E.g. $("#featured").orbit();
