I've been using Foundaiton Orbit image slider and found it great. Now I am having trouble with the height.
I have some images in the gallery that are considerably 'taller' than others and therefore the container that contains the gallery is set to the height of the 'tallest' image. Is there anyway of changing it so the container adapts it's height according to the height of the current image that it is showing?

here is the code:
<div class="slideshow-wrapper preloader">
<ul data-orbit data-options="animation:fade;
pause_on_hover:false;
animation_speed:500;
timer_speed: 4000;
navigation_arrows:true;
slide_number: false;
swipe: true;
bullets:false;">
