Slider Problems !

[roguecitrus]

I’ve just put my client site live and the front page sliders are showing one after another down the page … the page is jumping around and I can’t tell if the rest of it is right or now. Please look at http://appliedlubrication.com/ and let me know what I’ve done wrong. It works great in all other browsers.

Thank you.

It appears my problem was with using any images + Headline, Description & Buttons … if there is a fix for IE9, please let me know. Until then i removed link buttons and put the text right in the image.
Thanks!

Hello,

As far as I know, the theme’s slider should work fine in IE9. I’ve never heard of any problems like the one you’re describing.

However, often when people think their site does not work in IE9, it’s because they’ve accidentally turned on compatibility mode in their IE9 browser. Is this possible?

If this is not the case, please setup an example for me that I can view in IE9 to see the issue. It doesn’t have to be on your homepage; you could try and reproduce the issue on a subpage or something that isn’t linked to your main menu.

Here is the test page http://appliedlubrication.com/test-page.

I saw the response on Twitter & Fb first … I’m not an IE user, so it’s right out of the box, like I presume most people use it. Either way my client had customers and sales reps call with the issue, I’m not sure if I could direct that many people on how to use IE, or encourage them to smarten up and use anything else. The demo works fine in IE, so I’m sure it’s something on my particular install.

WP is up to date as is the theme.
Thanks for looking into it.

I believe it’s from the invalid HTML markup you’re trying to put in the slide description field. Most web browsers can figure out what you were trying to do, but IE can’t.

You’ve put something like this:

Small to Large Batch Volume Blending


Custom Blending

But it should look more like this:

I figured it was a total user issue … it works great now, thank you!
