View Full Version : Supersize background (full screen bg) and IE7 & IE8

Hi everyone, unfortunately I don't have the site online yet but i'll copy pasta the html here lower down.

I'm building a portfolio site for myself using the Supersize (http://buildinternet.com/2009/02/supersized-full-screen-backgroundslideshow-jquery-plugin/) plugin. So far on Chrome, Safari, Opera and Firefox it works great, but as per usual not so well in IE.

I'm not developing for IE6, it can die in fire: but IE7 and 8 are versions I'd like to cater for on my site. What happens in IE8 is that the background slideshow doesn't even appear. The same happens in IE7 with an additional problem: initially all content on the page is pushed outside of the page, and it snaps back into place when you do anything (resize the window, toggle an option in developer tools, so it's almost impossible to debug this by process of elimination).

It works fine in other browsers and the code I used works fine on the default page that comes with the plugin's zip file, so I think something else is co***icting with it, I'd really appreciate any help:
