Has anyone found a solution to the IE8 not working problems?

Here is a solution for HoverBox3 and IE8.
It is not perfect but at last it is working in stupid IE :-)
The problem is the Javascript in the original ic_effects.js
I replaced it with the latest original versions of prototype/scriptaculous

To make it work in IE8 do the following:

Delete
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/jscript/ic_effects.js

Upload:
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/jscript/effects.js
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/jscript/prototype.js
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/jscript/scriptaculous.js

Replace
includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_hoverbox.php

Replace this jscript_hoverbox.php also in:
includes/modules/pages/document_general_info
includes/modules/pages/document_product_info
includes/modules/pages/product_free_shipping_info
includes/modules/pages/product_music_info
includes/modules/pages/product_reviews
includes/modules/pages/product_reviews_info
includes/modules/pages/product_reviews_write

I'm only allowed to upload 42 KB attachments here, so the needed files can be downloaded here:
http://www.webchills.at/zen/hoverbox3_ie8fix_beta.zip

There is still a warning in IE8:
Invalid argument in prototype.js in line 4474
The problematic lines are:

Event.extend(event, element);
        handler.call(element, event);

If anyone has a solution for this, please post it here.

Please let me know if it's working for you.

Can somebody upload the original hoverbox files onto something like rapidshare for me. The download also says "unexpected end of archive".

I have it on my laptop at home. I will work on it tonight.

As far as I know IE8 does not support the round corners at all.

Hello,
I tried the fix for IE8 but then HoverBox is not working anymore with older version of IE... I tried it with IE6. I didn't have any IE7 on my hand but I am pretty sure it is same problem as it does not work with IE8 compatibility mode.
Not much progress at all.

Yes, the solution doesn't work on IE6 and IE7.
Hope we can resolve this issue soon...

This is most difficult part that's bugging me lately
