Bxslider border issue

Question

Trying to properly align the bxslider border so that it fits my images.

I've tried with many number of different images, with the bxslider at different setttings.

The Bxslider will in fact fit the images if I remove the options "Mode:'Fade" and "Captions:"True" and whilst I can live without the captions, I would indeed like to have the fade transition.

You can see what I mean here http://www.dennysplace.co.uk/

This is also a working jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/FLuRH/

Code as follows

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.bxslider.min.js"></script>
<link href="js/lib/jquery.bxslider.css" rel="stylesheet" />


<ul class="bxslider">
  <li><img src="images/barbers1.jpg" title="Dennys Place Gentlemens Barbers"></li>
  <li><img src="images/display.jpg" title="Tunbridge Wells"></li>
  <li><img src="images/photos11.jpg" title="The famous heads of Dennys Place"></li>
 </ul>

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function(){
$('.bxslider').bxSlider({
    mode: 'fade',
    captions:true,
    auto: true

});
 });
</script>

And CSS here

Adding this to your css should do it :

ul.bxslider {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
