Topic: Can't get Juicebox to display when embedded and testing with IE7 / IE8

I'm not able to get Juicebox to display at all when I have it embedded in a page, when testing it in my IE11 browser in the IE8 or IE7 simulation modes.  Here's the page:
http://www.paradiseblue.com/PhotoGallery.html

Re: Can't get Juicebox to display when embedded and testing with IE7 / IE8

If necessary, I can redirect older browsers (IE8 and earlier) to the main slideshow page inside folder "gallery1" called PhotoIndex.html  I have tried using the IF/THEN code previously, but could not get it to work.  So if the problem listed above in my 1st post doesn't have an easy resolution, then maybe you can help guide me with the redirect coding.
Thanks.

Your web page currently redirects (in versions of Internet Explorer less than or equal to IE8) to http://www.paradiseblue.com/gallery1/PhotoIndex.html and this redirection works fine when I view your gallery in IE8 under Windows XP. The gallery is displayed on a page of its own and functions fine.
The emulation modes within IE11 do not always give 100% accurate results and are not always the same as when using a genuine IE8 browser.

As your web page redirects when I view it in IE8, I cannot check how the gallery would look when embedded.

Thanks for the advice about IE11 lack of good emulation!
Since I can't use the real IE8 on my Win7 computer, I tried Google Chrome emulation tab, set on IE8 and YES, it does redirect correctly.
I have removed the redirecting so that you can now get to the page:
http://www.paradiseblue.com/PhotoGallery.html
Can you please try this page again in IE8 to see why it won't display the JuiceboxPro slideshow?

It looks like IE8 is choking on lines 255 and 256 of your 'PhotoGallery.html' page:

<script type="text/xml">
</script>

Remove these lines from your web page (the <script> section is empty and the 'type' should be 'text/javascript') and your gallery should hopefully display OK in IE8.

Works great now for those who use the old IE8, thanks again.  Excellent product, excellent support!

I'm glad your gallery now works as expected in IE8.
Thank you for posting back to let me know.
