CSS positioning issue with IE

I'm having a very strange CSS issue with my slider and IE. As you can see, the pagination is being displayed above the slider. However, in all other browsers开发者_JAVA技巧 it is being displayed at the bottom of the slider correctly. I cannot figure out why this is, and I have tried everything, hence why I am here. See for yourself:

I would suggest using either conditional comments to place it for IE or using a js plugin like this one - http://rafael.adm.br/css_browser_selector/

There's a JS error: Uncaught TypeError: Property '$' of object [object DOMWindow] is not a function
