Hi @surge42
I think there is something wrong with the bxslider you use and IE 11. The returned data looks OK (that’s why it looks great on other browsers), but it seems that IE can’t select the right slide when the slider is fully loaded.
You can try to create a simpler slider and template with the same method to test it out.
If the issue persists, the best places to ask are https://github.com/stevenwanderski/bxslider-4/issues or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/bxslider.
I hope this makes sense 🙂
