jQuery code
$(document).ready(function(){
$('ul').bxGallery({
maxwidth: '', // if set, the main image will be no wider than specified value (in pixels)
maxheight: '', // if set, the main image will be no taller than specified value (in pixels)
thumbwidth: 200, // thumbnail width (in pixels)
thumbcrop: false, // if true, thumbnails will be a perfect square and some of the image will be cropped
croppercent: .35, // if thumbcrop: true, the thumbnail will be scaled to this
// percentage, then cropped to a square
thumbplacement: 'bottom', // placement of thumbnails (top, bottom, left, right)
thumbcontainer: '', // width of the thumbnail container div (in pixels)
opacity: .7, // opacity level of thumbnails
