Please help:Slideshow creator not showing in IE8 [#1237780]

I am running Drupal 7.7 and the latest version of slideshow creator. My problem is that my slideshow does not show in IE8. The block for the slideshow is blank, although it works fine in FF and Opera. I would appreciate any help on how to resolve this issue. I have looked at other answers on this question, but as I am up to date on all modules including the JQuery module and JQuery update module I don't know what else to try.
Thank you.

Hello, could somebody kindly help me with the problem of my slideshow images not showing in IE8. I can see a very faint outline (grey squares) for the images, but the pics themselves do not show. I would greatly appreciate a response.

Thank you very much.

Hi, I have discovered this is also happening in my sites. After a lot of bafflement, I found that IE is reacting to a long-standing bug in the code that for one reason or another never manifested in D6 due to the different way that Drupal version renders html. See if this patch fixes it for you.

Hi rhouse,

thank you for your fix. Unfortunately it doesn't solve for me.

I've put your patch on my FTP but the problem on IE 9 remains. Click here to see my website, on IE its blank in the center, on FF everything works.

Here (click!) you should see the slide on the bottom left, but IE doesn't show anything.

Your website's page output is showing the old erroneous html, so it seems you have not applied the patch correctly. But before you do anything drastic, go to your site's performance admin page and clear all caches. Then clear all caches in IE as well. If it is still wrong you'll have to take further steps because the patch has not been applied correctly. I think there is a page on drupal.org somewhere that explains how to apply patches. Failing that it can be done manually if you are careful. Don't try that of you don't know what you are doing though. If all else fails, I will be releasing a new version with a number of patches as soon as possible, and you can wait for that.
