Problems with Slideshow and IE8

[markus67]

Hi ...

at first sorry for my bad english ;-)

i have a Problem with the slideshow in combination with the magic zoom plus.
Both scripts where implemented in an xtc Commerce Online-Shop.
It works in ie7 an ff3.x well ... but not in ie8.

the website will noch open.

for both scripts i have al license number

the problem is this code ...

Code:

<!-- set slide show params -->
  <script type="text/javascript">
    MagicSlideshow.options = {
      'loop-type': 'first',
      'arrows': 'no',
      'effect': 'fade',
      'show-selectors': 'no',
      'speed': '6'
    }

    MagicSlideshow.extraOptions.slideshowrumble = {
      'effect': 'fade',
      'effect-next': 'fade',
      'effect-jump': 'fade',
      'container-position': 'right',
      'container-padding': '0',
      'text-position': 'top',
      'text-effect': 'slide'
    }

    </script>

Hi,

Code:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

Hi Markus,

Unfortunately, we could not replicate this problem in IE8.

Can you please provide us with more details:

 1. The link to the page where you see this problem.
 2. What operating system you are using: Window XP, Windows Vista, Window7?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Markus,

Seems we found the cause of your issue. Actually, it's some sort of problem of IE8 itself. Also, it doesn't occur in all IE8 (we've checked from different computers and sometimes the problem occurred, sometimes not).

Right, the problem is in the PNG transparency workaround for IE. Please find this line in the images/price/pngbehavior.htc file:

 

Code:

var supported = /MSIE (5\.5)|[6789]/.test(navigator.userAgent) && navigator.platform == "Win32";

and replace it with this one:

 

Code:

var supported = /MSIE (5\.5)|[67]/.test(navigator.userAgent) && navigator.platform == "Win32";

IE 8 and 9 support transparent png, so there is no need to apply this workaround for them.

Hope this helps!

All the best,

Alex
