[Plugin: WordPress Content Slide] Gallery doesn't work in IE8

I have noticed that a height is declared in the js but not a width. Could this have anything to do with it? I do have a width set through the plugin. Why wouldn’t that be passed through to the script?

Here is the snippet of code from jquery.innerfade.js

$.innerfade = function(container, options) {
        var settings = {
            'animationtype':    'fade',
            'speed':            'normal',
            'type':             'sequence',
            'timeout':          2000,
            'containerheight':  'auto',
            'runningclass':     'innerfade',
            'children':         null
        };
        if (options)
            $.extend(settings, options);
        if (settings.children === null)
            var elements = $(container).children();
        else
            var elements = $(container).children(settings.children);
        if (elements.length > 1) {
            $(container).css('position', 'relative').css('height', settings.containerheight).addClass(settings.runningclass);

And here is what is rendering from the plugin to the header:

<script type="text/javascript">
	var $jquery = jQuery.noConflict();
	$jquery(document).ready(function()
	{
		$jquery('#wpcontent_slider').innerfade({
						speed: 2000,
						timeout: 6000,
						type: 'sequence',
						containerheight: '220px'
					});

		});
	</script>

In the plugin admin, the image width is set to 465px and the height is set to 220px. I know, for sure, that I have had to declare image widths in CSS to force image only areas to appear in IE.

Having it not work isn’t a show stopper but everything else on my custom theme is working so perfectly that it seems a shame to leave this known problem out there.
