JCarousellite not working in IE8

I have a user who's having issues running the JCarousellite plug-in in IE8. Not just on my own site, but also on the jcarousellite homepage. It runs fine on my own machine and all his IE Security settings/levels are the same as my own (Secruity is at "Medium-High" and Privacy at "Medium"). JQuery also seems to be working for him as other aspects controlled by jquery on the site are functioning correctly.

I use Firefox normally, so am not aware of every feature IE8 offers, but am thinking he has some setting/option set incorrectly.

Anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions fo开发者_如何学Cr settings I could look at changing? Thanks

This probably won't help as it doesn't address the 'same browser' issue, but someone else might wind up here like I did trying to solve a similar problem:

The image width and height must be specified for IE7/8 to render the image.

It was difficult for me to track down as I develop on Ubuntu.

Well this plugin hasn't been updated in a long time. Last official update is from what 2007? The last officially mentioned jQuery version supported is 1.2.x. And if you check the posts to this blog entry: jCarousel Lite – A jQuery plugin you will see plenty of unfixed bug reports. The same for the issue tracker on the jQuery Plugin pages.

About browser support the plugin pages states

Tested on Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Firefox 2, Opera 9.20, Safari 3.0.1 for Windows.

Essentially this seems to be an unsupported plugin for a long time now with a more then just a few bugs.

Better drop it and use one of the other more up-to-date and better supported carousel/slideshow plugins out there. There are literally hundreds of them around
