Issue with form input IDs being duplicated about bxslider-3

[Narretz]

Hi,
I had the same problem and I found a solution that works for my setup. So it's hackish and probably limited.
I just removed

            // get the children behind
            var $prependedChildren = getArraySample($children, 0, options.moveSlideQty, 'backward');

            // add each prepended child to the back of the original element
            $.each($prependedChildren, function(index) {
                $parent.prepend($(this));
            }); 

of the function setChildrenLayout.
After you do this, however, the first slide on page load is the second, and the pager is wrong. So I added a call to the public function goToFirstSlide() after intialising the slider. Since I don't plan on using InfiniteLoop or multiple elements per slide, this works fine for me.

Narretz - thanks for posting that hack! I was just about to give up on bxslider before I found your comment - saved the day (even if it is a hack). Thanks again!

I want to thank Narretz too - fixed my issue, and the only thing I found that did. Now to find why it was happening...

Worked for me to. I added goToPreviousSlide() on slider init. This works in my case as the slider is a bit down on the page.
