I've installed the latest working version of ddblock, with a total of six images being loaded; as this will be a multilingual site, the Views file is set to display 3 of the image/text combinations to English viewers, and the other 3 to French viewers.

It functions and displays perfectly in all browsers but IE8 (8.0.7600...). The main site theme is Zen, the ddblock theme Upright 10

In IE8 the background image displays perfectly, but the images for the pager do not appear (neither the colour blocks nor black region). Neither does the background transparent grey image for the slide display at all.

The text for both the slide and for the missing pager images have been bumped down below the background image, maintaining their relative positions... essentially the text version of the slide is appearing just below the main image. A screenshot is attached

I have not modified any ddblock css or templates, nor the main theme templates

Any help appreciated.

Maybe your IE issue is that IE does only support 32 CSS stylesheets. The ddblock stylesheet is one of the last stylesheets added and could be ignored by IE when you have more then 32 CSS Stylesheets.

Setting CSS optimization at Administer > Site configuration > Performance will give you a solution for this issue. This is what you would do when your Drupal site is in production anyway.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Yes, it corrected the problem. Simple fix, which I did see described earlier, but the issue it was recommended for didn't match what I was seeing on my development site.

Thanks for the quick response and tip!
