jQuery Carousel not working in Internet Explorer

Posted on by

Question:

Absolutely love your products, Slider and Carousel. Thank you.

My problem is that the carousel is working beautifully on all browsers I have tried except IE. The page with carousel works fine on Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Torch, and Safari but not IE regardless if the OS is XP, Vista, or W7.

Answer:

It’s because the DOCTYPE of your webpage triggers the quirk mode of Internet Explorer. You can view this tutorial: http://amazingslider.com/amazing-jquery-slider-internet-explorer-and-quirks-mode/

In short, currently, at the beginning of your webpage, the code is:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

You need to change it:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
