I have made a very light and feature rich jQuery slider plugin. It has a slide left/right transition from one image to the next or previous.

You can see the plugin in action HERE.

It worked very well/as intended until I added bezier transitions to ul.slider for smoothness. Since then, on page load it shows the last image instead of the first. How can I avoid that?

Also, even though the slider should loop (and it does, in the absence of the bezier transitions), it does not loop.
