Question

i’ll try to be more specific:

i have this html markup snippet:

<div id="slider">
<ul>
<li>first slide</li>
<li>secondth slide</li>
<li>third slide</li>
<li>fourth slide</li>
</ul>
</div>

and this js snipett to activate cycle

$('#slider ul').cycle({ 
    easing: 'easeInBounce',
    fx: 'scrollUp',
    speed:400,
    timeout:5000
});

now id like to have the #slider ul width auto calculated the same as its ul li elements.

Hope you guys understand what i mean!

Thank you!

Edit:

Ok, so you could use before ( or after callback):

Html:

Ul width: <input type="text" id="ulwidth" />
<div id="slider">
<ul>
<li style="width: 150px">first slide</li>
<li style="width: 230px">secondth slide</li>
<li>third slide</li>
<li>fourth slide</li>
</ul>
</div>

And JS:

$('#slider ul').cycle({ 
    fx: 'fade',
    before: function(curr, next, option){ // or after: function...
           //console.log(curr.style.width);
           var w = curr.style.width; // or next.style.width
           $('#slider ul').css({'width': w});
           $('#ulwidth').val($('#slider ul').width());
    }
});

This could fit the ul width based on next or current li (after or before use): EXAMPLE
