    Default Scrolling specials IE8 issues

    Hi,

    Does anyone know how to fix the scrolling specials sidebox so that it works in IE8 please?

    I'm finding that it starts to scroll but then stops and restarts again.

    Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    I found a temporary fix by forcing ie8 to ie7 compatibility mode:

    Add this code to your html_header.php

    Code:
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
    It's not a perfect solution but will do for me until the scrolling sideboxes are ie8 compatible.

    I didn't see a scrolling specials sidebox on your site.

    I did see the scrolling featured sidebox and it seems to work fine in ie8.

    I dont have a clue where the html_header.php is.

    I have a scrolling specials sidebox on my site. Looks ok, a bit jerky bit looks ok in firefox, In I.E 8, the 1st image scrolls up than disappears, than resatarts than disappers in a loop. When i run it in compatability mode it looks fine.

    Hope this can solve the problem.

    Thanks

    Here's a screen shot of your site (just taken)

    As I said I don't see a specials sidebox but do see a featured sidebox.
