Flex Slider transitions not working in IE

  • I have an interesting problem that I just noticed today. After making a modification to the order of my slides (I only moved one slide to the top), I realized that the transitions are not displaying in Internet Explorer. The slides are not fading, they are just cutting over abruptly. I am about 99% certain this was working properly in IE before the change, but I could be wrong on that. Anyhow, it works fine in Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc and when I view the code it is calling for a fade transition. Anyone know what could cause this? Thanks!

    Thanks for looking Kevin, but surely there has to be a way to get this to work in IE? I’ve seen sites that have transitions that IE displays properly, and love it or hate it, millions of people still use IE. Any ideas on things I can try?

    It depends on which version you’re using. I believe IE 9 and up offer these sorts of things. I tested on 8 and it doesn’t work there. What are you testing on?

    I tested this on IE 11 with the same results…. And I know this browser is capable of displaying transitions, but perhaps those sites were using a different method. Curious if the developer has any input?

    I’ve shared this thread with the theme developer but your link is no longer working.

    Hey,
    So I understand it seems there is an issue with the flex slider in IE meaning IE is doing something different then every other browser which no surprise there. I’ll work up an update for this to release early next week, just need to do some testing with fix options.

    Thanks for reporting this.

    Hey,
    Sorry for the delay, I seem to have missed this.

    There was an update out a while ago in regards to this.

    It does seem that on some IE browser there is still bugs. No surprises there.

    I just tested with this workaround posted on the Flexslider forums. If you change your transition time to 200ms in the theme options, then add this css:

    .flexslider .slides > li { 
  -webkit-transition: opacity .6s ease; 
-moz-transition: opacity .6s ease;
 transition: opacity .6s ease; 
}

    That will make it work.
