jQuery animation script runs only first animation function in IE

So I have this Javascript code block (see below), and it works in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. In IE, it runs the first animation function $(".slide1_background").animate({ yada yada yada and then nothing. I tried putting an alert after it and that won't fire either.

There is a separate slider script for the background image. It's a Joomla module.

The site is located here.

Can anyone shed any light on this situation?
