    Hey Shawn,
    
    Concerning Problem #2, you can solve this by setting a higher z-index with the parent elements by CSS, in this case the primary-navigation div:
    
    

    
    
    #primary-navigation{
    
    position:relative;
    
    z-index: 9999;
    
    }
    
    

    
    
    Or you can use IE conditional comments in the header.php file by setting this:
    

    
    
    
    
    <!--[if IE]>
    
    <style type="text/css">
    
    #primary-navigation{
    
    position:relative;
    
    z-index: 9999;
    
    }
    
    </style>
    
    <![endif]-->
    
    
    
    

    
    
    If you prefer, you can remove the conditional comments all together.
    

    
    
    
    
    <style type="text/css">
    
    #primary-navigation{
    
    position:relative;
    
    z-index: 9999;
    
    }
    
    </style>

    Concerning Problem #1, there seems to be jQuery conflictions with IE. Open the scripts.js file in the includes/js directory in your theme folder (http://shawn.theanointedone.com/wp-content/themes/custom-canvas/includes/js/scripts.js) and on the first line, place this line of code:
    
    

    
    
    jQuery.noConflict();
    
    

    
    
    Save then refresh and try again. If this does not solve your issue, then replace the scripts.js with the attachment I have here and refresh and try again. Remember to keep the original somewhere else or rename to scripts--.js to prevent it from being recognised :)

    @Jermaine
    
    I tried both the noconflict, and also replacing my script with yours, but neither work in IE.
    
    I re-ran my scripts through jslint, and there are still no errors. I also have no plugins activated, so there seems to be no errors reported anywhere.
    
    any other ideas?

    I should also mention, that for some reason, my navigation is now working. I did not make any changes, which is even stranger.

    Jermaine Oppong says:

    @Shawn
    
    I meant to mention that the CSS problem is for IE 7 and below. I did test it with IE8 and IE9beta and it functions as wanted. If you have tested this with IE7 and does not work as required then set this in your CSS(or any of the CSS above in the relevant places):
    
    

    
    
    #primary-navigation{ position:relative; z-index: 9999; }
    
    

    
    
    Concerning Problem #1, I have discovered what the issue is. Its with the disableCustomButtons(carousel) function in scripts.js from line 25 to line 40. What happens is that when the document loads the visible arrow on the left has an id of #mycarousel-next with a disabled attribute set to false while the invisible arrow on the right with id of #mycarousel-prev has 'disabled' set to true.
    
    In IE both arrows have disabled set to 'false', which should not be so, that is why you are experiencing this problem and its from the disableCustomButtons function from line 25 to 40:
    
    

    
    
    
    
    function disableCustomButtons(carousel){
    
        
    
        var prev_class = 'jcarousel-prev-disabled jcarousel-prev-disabled-horizontal';
    
        if (carousel.first == 1) {
    
        $('#mycarousel-prev').attr('disabled', 'true').addClass(prev_class);
    
        } else {
    
        $('#mycarousel-prev').attr('disabled', 'false').removeClass(prev_class);
    
        }
    
      
    
        var next_class = 'jcarousel-next-disabled jcarousel-next-disabled-horizontal';
    
        if (carousel.last == carousel.size()) {
    
        $('#mycarousel-next').attr('disabled', 'true').addClass(next_class);
    
        } else {
    
        $('#mycarousel-next').attr('disabled', 'false').removeClass(next_class);
    
        }
    
    }
    
    
    
    

    
    
    
    My guess would be to try changing line 28 from if (carousel.first == 1) { to:
    
    

    
    
    if (carousel.first == true) {
    
    

    
    

  • 11/22/10 9:00am
    
    Jermaine Oppong says:

    Actually do not touch line 28.
    
    Change line 31 to
    

    
    
    $('#mycarousel-prev').removeAttr('disabled').removeClass(prev_class);
    
    

    
    
    And change line 38 to
    

    
    
    $('#mycarousel-next').removeAttr('disabled').removeClass(next_class);

    Do this to your original scripts.js file.

    Made the changes and it seems to work just fine.
    
    The only thing I am noticing now is that when using safari, or IE, if I leave it on the homepage for more than a few minutes, the browser crashes and closes. It only happens on my win7 box, where my vista install never has that problem.
    
    I don't see any bugs or errors reported anywhere. Do you see anything that may be causing this?

  • 11/22/10 7:01pm
    
    Jermaine Oppong says:

    Funny you would mention that. I experienced a similar problem with IE9 beta when I first visited your page. That was before I began debugging. This has nothing to do with the solution presented to you.
    
    I've left it on the homepage in the major browsers for some minutes and have no crashes. I think it should be better after a while - Im now not experiencing this issue with IE or any other browser, including safari.

  • 11/22/10 9:46pm
    
    shawn says:

    Thanks for checking.
    
    If you happen to find something that might be causing the browser crash, please let me know. The only browser crashing on me is Safari, and that is only on this computer, not my others.
    
    Selected as winner as initial problem is solved.
    
    By any chance do you have any ideas on how I can combine some of my js functions? I was told that I am repeating to many functions that run my admin side, but was not told how to combine them together.
