jQuery Isotope Masonry : animation doesn't initiate until browser is resized (Chrome 27.0.1453.110)

Question

I'm working on a jQuery Isotope implementation but the animation only seems to 'wake-up' once the browser is resized both on laptop and mobile. Perhaps my ordering is wrong? Here's the site that I'm working on:

If you are able to work out why the mobile implementation isn't great that would be awesome too but I realise that is probably a world of pain to get into.

Many many thanks for your help in advance,

Andrew

Here's the code:

<div id="container">

<div class="item"><div id="squarespace-slideshow-wrapper-1371031439" rel="51b847e2e4b0552c3a104be5" class="ss-slideshow-v2"></div><p>This is a test</p></div>
<div class="item"><img style="width: 150px;" src="/picture/drink%20pour%203.jpg?pictureId=18133348&amp;asGalleryImage=true&amp;__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1370962041640" alt="" /></div>

Any takers? Let me know if you need any more information. – Jack Jun 12 '13 at 14:31 — Jack, Jun 12 '13 at 14:31

Well I had the exact same problem and I discovered it was being caused by Firebug. Once I closed firebug it worked fine.

Hi Mark, thanks for the clue, but I've deleted Firebug and am still having the same problem. – Jack Sep 09 '13 at 13:49

I just took a look at Andrew's site and noticed he had solved the problem by calling

jQuery(window).load(
    function()
    { jQuery
        ('#blog-wrap').isotope
            (
                { itemSelector: 'article', layoutMode : 'masonry' }
            );
    }
);

Of course you'll have to substitute #blog-wrap and article with your own classes and/or element names (and/or element IDs).

I've successfully used this method to solve the same problem with my site too.
