I've created a website using latest Drupal 6.*. I've installed and have the Jquery Slideshow running just fine in Safari and Firefox on both Mac and PC platforms. However, the slideshow does not work in IE8. It just shows all the images I am using the in show running down the page rather than actually showing them as a slideshow.

I've noticed other web designers have the same issue and wondered if their was a Drupal fix/solution.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Greetings.

Not sure is it relevant, but in similar case (IE8 displays all images instead of slide show) I was able to "fix" it by adding both width and height to imagecache preset, which is used for slideshow. As you know, some imagecache presets (for example Scale) allows to have only one value (width or height). But I've found if height is not set, when slideshow jQuery code looks like this:

Drupal.behaviors.jquerySlideshow = function(){
        $('.jquery_slideshow').css({height:'px'});
        $('.jquery_slideshow').css({width:'540px'});

Please mention empty height property above. And while it works in FF & Opera & Safari, it not works in IE. After adding height to my imagecache preset code became to look as follow:

Drupal.behaviors.jquerySlideshow = function(){
        $('.jquery_slideshow').css({height:'390px'});
        $('.jquery_slideshow').css({width:'540px'});

..and slideshow start working in IE8.

Hope it'll be useful to someone.
