'Read More' Block Missing in Internet Explorer and Safari

Reopening issue; issue exists even with original slideshow files.

Here it is. It's Upright40 with the pagers set to appear to the right (which causes them to disappear)

Strangely, it does show up in Firefox 4.

Anyway, here are the preprocess functions; what would I need to change?

Here is the result.

    'ddblock_news_item'

    stdClass::__set_state(array(
       'nid' => '22',
       'node_title' => 'iPlace Pro',
       'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_pager_item_text_value' => 'Location Sharing',
       'node_type' => 'ddblock_news_item',
       'node_vid' => '22',
       'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_slide_text_value' => 'Share your location with your friends!',
       'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_image_fid' => '45',
       'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_image_list' => '1',
       'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_image_data' => 'a:2:{s:3:"alt";s:0:"";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}',
       'node_revisions_body' => 'This is just a file.',
       'node_revisions_format' => '1',
       'node_data_field_pager_item_text_field_url_value' => 'products/iplace',
       'node_created' => '1298081858',
    ))

That... would be correct.

Thanks for the help.
