I have created a jQuery Cycle/Maximage2 gallery, while using caroufredsel for the carousel thumbnail navigation, but caroufredsel isn't firing until you resize the browser window for some reason. I have tried wrapping cycle in
$(window).load(function() {
and wrapping caroufredsel in
$(document).ready(function() {
to see if that would help but still no change.
JS Fiddle below: (resize the internal browser to see it fire).
