Views slideshow is working without error in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari but does not show at all in Internet Explorer.

Has anybody experienced this before and is there a fix?

Thanks in advance for any help or support given on this issue.

The fix that worked for me was the following:

Find your CSS entry that controls the width, spacing etc for the slideshow image. Use Firebug in Firefox to identify the correct CSS file and entry.

Then change the max-width: 100% to a set width size, for example: max-width: 800px;

This should work and did for me, hope it does for you as its a real pain when things dont work because of terrible programs such as IE8. Its the bane of my life and if only it didn't exist.

Good luck and let me know how you get on.

For me, I fixed it setting the width here:

.views_slideshow_singleframe_slide.views_slideshow_slide {
  width: 100% !important;
}

Setting the max-width to what ever the image size should be worked for me. Thanks so much!

Firebug pulls up two .css files, layout.css and default.css
Neither have a maximum image width.
I do under the slideshow view settings have under advance options set width via the following command:
width:"250"

Suggestions?

I fixed this issue not changing css but updating filefield and imagefield. Not sure if you are having the same issue but in the image attributes I notice this : height="a" width="a" !!
Good luck!

I had to also specify a height to get my slide show to work in IE7

I am also having this problem with IE8 and IE9. Here's my original post about it: http://drupal.org/node/1580184

"The Slideshow is not showing up in IE. I tried giving the Slideshow a height and width value, but it's still not showing up in IE 8 or 9. Also, we are using different screen sizes for different screen adjustments from wide to mobile and I am using different heights and widths per each CSS page. Is that possibly is why they're not showing up? Help, please!"

Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? This slideshow is a pretty useless tool if we cannot get it to work in IE as well.
