@pixvault Ah, apologies 🙂 The advice still stands though for @jrwills as with the old script versions cached in my browser (I was checking your site while fixing the issue @pixvault) I encountered the same problems, no pointer cursor on hover, clicking resulted in nothing, etc. which I believe was a result of the page being updated but the script being cached. Once the cache was cleared everything returned to normal.
Sorry for the mixup.
The page on my site that isn’t working is at http://www.evendozenphotos.com/pelicans/
I cleared the IE cache and still have the same results. Would be happy to have you take a look and see if you can enlighten me.
I will leave the cube-gallery intact until I hear back from you. I don’t want to leave it broken too long as I’m sure some visitors are still using IE.
Ain’t IE fun?
@jrwills I think I’ve found the issue you are experiencing.
Basically you have your site set to always display in IE9 mode by using the X-UA-Compatible meta header. This is forcing cube gallery to detect that no transitions are supported (it thinks it’s IE9 or lower) and so just toggles the visibility of the captions on hover.
This has however brought to my attention another bug in IE<=10 as they do not support the pointer-events CSS property which is why when clicking the item nothing is happening as the caption is simply eating the event.
I’ll make a fix as soon as possible for the click event issue which will resolve your problem however I suggest you also look at not forcing IE to always render in IE9 or less mode as you are now using a 2 version old engine to perform the rendering of your site in the newest version of the browser, IE11.
LOOK AT YOU GO!
I forgot that the default Photocrati galleries sometimes had a problem rendering in IE and their recommendation was to add “<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=9″ />” to the header.php.
It worked but since I’m using Foo Galleries this is not an issue.
I have restored the header.php and the cube-gallery works perfectly in IE11 and I assume in earlier versions as well. (I might have bad-mouthed IE11 unnecessarily.)
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your diligence and perseverance in resolving this. Had I not “fixed” the header.php it might never have been problem in the first place. Sorry for the trouble.
Maybe I can buy you a coffee or something?
No problem, glad to have helped you and you also helped us discover the issue with the click events in IE<=10 which we will have a live fix for shortly.
PS: Can we ever really unnecessarily bad-mouth IE? I think it deserves whatever it gets for years of pain brought upon the web 😉

I agree. I try to make sure that “Friends don’t let friends use IE”
Thanks again.
