I'm working on a site with views slideshow. It works fine in FF but IE doesn't 'fade' the slides (it does change/rotate them). Anybody else has this? Is there something in the javascript that IE doesn't like?

It worked well until Vista received an Security update. Now this stuff does not work. Has anyone a clue how to solve this? I deinstalled the update but this did not solve it. However I am pretty sure it was the update because it coincides perfectly.

I solved my problem by not using the views_slideshow but just 'custom' implement the jquery.cycle() plugin and make a view/block appear as an unordered list. Solves my problem completely and is actually quite easy to implement anyway.

Easy fix! After reading all this about adding extra JS (http://blog.bmn.name/2008/03/jquery-fadeinfadeout-ie-cleartype-glitch/), I came across a very satisfying, CSS fix.

Just give the text element a background colour. In my case:

#views_slideshow_main_1 h2,
#views_slideshow_main_1 h4,
#views_slideshow_main_1 .bottom_link a{
  background-color:white;
}

and it's fixed!

*shakes head in dissapointment at IE7*
