is there a difference between IE and {a good browser}?

 

there should be a slider at the top which works fine here in chrome but not in IE

 

thanks

Your video bombs on on FF for me.

 

,"expiration":21600,"vimeo_url":"vimeo.com","player_url":"player.vimeo.com","cdn_url":"a.vimeocdn.com","cookie_domain":".vimeo.com"},"video":{"id":37102221,"title":"The JCB Academy","width":640,"height":360,"duration":411,"url":null,"thumbnail":"http:\/\/b.vimeocdn.com\/ts\/254\/726\/254726775_640.jpg","embed_code":"

 

-Edit - Reloaded it a few times and its loaded now so maybe just funny connection

 

No slider that I can see on FF either. (Or do you mean the image that scrolls?)

Firefox and Chrome working the same for me. IE9 doesn't bring up the big photo about Recruiting in the sixth form. (Didn't test video but will do now)

Nice pretty scrolling pictures in chrome, safari and opera. IE8 - no images at all.

"About the JCB Academy" dropdown.

 

You need to remove the apostrophe from The Governors.

Yes. Everything displays just as it does in Chrome.

IE8/9 can occasionally have timing issues... try the following:

 

Change:

    $(window).load(function() {
       $('#slider').nivoSlider({
       effect: 'random', // Specify sets like: 'fold,fade,sliceDown'
       animSpeed: 500, // Slide transition speed
       pauseTime: 6000, // How long each slide will show
       controlNav: false, // 1,2,3... navigation
       controlNavThumbs: false, // Use thumbnails for Control Nav
       pauseOnHover: true, // Stop animation while hovering
       
         });
});

to:

      $(function() { ...*snip*

 

and see what effect that has... if it resolves, the problem is likely the timing of when you're calling $(window).load

i have changed the code to

 

   $(window).load(function() {
       $('#slider').nivoSlider({
  
         });
});

 

and as soon as i try and add any to add any controls it bombs. if any one has further insights much appreciated, its been far too long since i have had to touch js lol

FF displays fine (2 banners)

IE 9 on Win7 displays the scrolling images but with a judder effect.

IE 8 the image scroller is having some real issues, difficult to describe but its shuddering along and when it tries to load a new image it loads across the page (so only half of the original image is replaced) then snaps into place.

That's the same on IE9 too.

 

Also vertical spacing for the horizontal menu bar is smaller than in Chrome, and the News menu on the right of the homepage shows a "News and Events" blue cog header below the News text.

Try looking for a jQuery powered slideshow, then testing the demo sites on various browsers will save alot of time...

 

This one appears to work find: SlidesJS, a simple slideshow plugin for jQuery.

the annoying thing is on my demo that runs locally it works fine in all browsers. gonna set some time aside to do it today. the even more annoying thing is that due to it being on FROG i have to do it the long way around; upload all the files then copy the url of them (stuff like http://www.jcbacademy.com/user/74/80800.css) change the image links in css to be absolute refs like this too. takes forever

Fixed at last, what a faf!
