Kwicks Accordion Slider not working in IE8

  • I searched the forum for this issue first, but no results came up. The Kwicks accordion slider isn’t working on my site in IE8, but it works with Firefox, Chrome, and IE7.

    Just to be clear, I’m referring to the framed area that holds 4 images, starts with all images only partially visible, and then when you mouse over one of them it expands to fill the whole area. In IE8, the framed area has only part of the first image, which does not expand on mouseover, and the rest of the area is black.

    Would greatly appreciate help in fixing this bug. Is this a known bug? If so, is it resolved in WP 3.1?

    Following up – I noticed the “!” javascript alert in the status bar on the very left. I double-clicked on it, and this error appeared:

    “jquery.fancybox.js not implemented”

    I did a Google search on this phrase and found the below thread which seems to explain and address the problem (you must have a google account and be logged in to view):

    https://groups.google.com/group/fancybox/browse_thread/thread/b6297575ecc3a789?pli=1

    I haven’t tried out the solution yet, but essentially the thread says the bug is in the jquery library, that it is detecting IE8 as IE6. Also, in fancybox.js, there are two places that call features of IE9 that are not inherent to IE8.

    So, the posting member added code from https://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html that correctly detects IE8, and he downloaded a fixed copy of fancybox.js that works with IE8:
    https://gamestation.ru/js/jquery.fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.2.1.js

    And another member that was having the same problem confirms that this fix works.

    I’ll try to implement the fix later, and post here whether it worked or not.
