The gallery is not showing in IE8 (FF3 is working)
I read other topics on this site but I could not find an answer.

- I set the cache to 755
- I tried different pop-up engines and different css styles

Hi,

It's your content that makes a mess of it in Explorer. You have at least two instances of "garbage" text in there and when you remove them your gallery works.

I saved a local version of your source code on my desktop, removed all the garbage, and your galleries work just fine. (Internet Explorer - Build 8.0.6001.18702)

The instances looks something like this:

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves /> <w:TrackFormatting /> <w:PunctuationKerning /> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas /> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF /> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables /> <w:SnapToGridInCell /> <w:WrapTextWithPunct /> <w:UseAsianBreakRules /> <w:DontGrowAutofit /> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark /> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp /> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables /> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx /> <w:Word11KerningPairs /> <w:CachedColBalance /> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math" /> <m:brkBin m:val="before" /> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--" /> <m:smallFrac m:val="off" /> <m:dispDef /> <m:lMargin m:val="0" /> <m:rMargin m:val="0" /> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup" /> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440" /> <m:intLim m:val="subSup" /> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr" /> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"   DefSemiHidden="true" DefQFormat="false" DefPriority="99"   LatentStyleCount="267"> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="0" SemiHidden="false"    UnhideWhenUsed="false" QFormat="true" Name="Normal" /> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" SemiHidden="false"    UnhideWhenUsed="false" QFormat="true" Name="heading 1" /> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 2" /> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 3" /> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 4" /> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 5" /> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 6" /> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 7" /> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 8" /> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 9" />

This is just a bit of it, as it totals around 40.000 characters - much more than this forum allows for. Have a look at your source code to see what I'm talking about.

Firefox handles this simply by doing nothing to it. That's the beauty of Firefox. It doesn't allow things to cause complete mayhem on your site. Explorer however, is not that smart and tries to interpret the garbage text, which it can't, thus breaking every bit of code that follows, causing your site to fail.

I remember seeing this before and I believe you have imported your content from a Word-document, correct? You should always avoid doing this, for the above reason. The markup is not clean and will create a mess of your site. Instead copy/paste your content text into a notepad document first, and then copy it again from there into your Joomla! editor. This method strips your content text of all the rubbish markup created by Microsoft Word.

For a quick preview you can do as I did - save a local .html copy of your entire source code on your desktop, remove all the (greyed out) garbage text, and run the file in Internet Explorer. You should now see your galleries.

I hope this helps.

It worked  ;D
Thanks!!

ps I did copy text from Word which I later removed. But man, that was a LOT of garbage. I'm checking my other articles too..
