News Fader not working in IE

[Chalky]

In IE9, my news items just show in a static list rather than as a fader.  Is there anything I can do about this?

and

Edit your theme's CSS.

It even notes the problem in there!

Code Select Expand

#smfFadeScroller
{
    text-align: center;
    padding: 0 2em;
    overflow: auto;
    margin: 1em 0;
    color: #fff; /* shouldn't be shorthand style due to a JS bug in IE! */
}


Convert it into:

Code Select Expand

#smfFadeScroller
{
    text-align: center;
    padding: 0 2em;
    overflow: auto;
    margin: 1em 0;
    color: #ffffff; /* shouldn't be shorthand style due to a JS bug in IE! */
    background-color: black;
}

Thanks, I had searched first honest 

Although that doesn't actually seem to help, as my .css already looks like this:

Code Select Expand

#smfFadeScroller
{
   text-align: center;
   padding: 0 2em;
   overflow: auto;
   margin: 1em 0;
   color: #575757; /* shouldn't be shorthand style due to a JS bug in IE! */
}

I've tried adding the background line as in the example just in case, but nothing - still static

in what way does the news fader not work? i dont see that you have more then one news entry for it to rotate.

[Chalky]

I have three news entries.  On Chrome and Firefox, they rotate, but on IE they all show at the same time as a static list of three items.

does it work correctly on the default theme? if so post in your themes support thread

[Chalky]

Oh, I hadn't thought of that....  Yes it works fine in the default theme!

Thanks Illori, I'm off to the Actualism thread
