IE8 can only vote with Fivestar in Compatibility Mode (IE7 mode) -- there is no widget interaction (clicks and mouseover both don't work, the page just appears inert.)

I've confirmed that the 5 star widget is completely "inert" in IE8; the links do not appear to be clickable and nothing happens when you hover over them (i.e. they remain grey.) Basically, the authenticated user experience is incorrectly looking exactly like the anonymous user experience.

When you click the compatibility mode button in IE8, the widget starts to work.

In IE7, the 5 star widget works perfectly fine. So its a bit odd that it stops working in IE8.

Investigating…

Hmm… I take it back. There was some local CSS overrides in this theme that were causing my problem.

Not sure if this will help others (since this is specific to this theme's CSS), but here's the fix:

The theme had this CSS override:

div.fivestar-widget {
  float: left;
}

That was enough to make the whole widget un-clickable in IE8. :-p Adding a position: relative; fixed it in IE8.

We can no longer support the Drupal 6 version of Fivestar. It is in security maintenance mode only. When the Drupal 8 version of Fivestar is released, the Drupal 6 version will be officially deprecated. However, if a volunteer can be found who is willing to test patches for the Drupal 6 version, we could revert it to normal maintenance. See Help testing Drupal 6 patches.
