nextgen-gallery does't work properly in Explorer 8

I second the motion. It works the first time in IE8, but not if you go back to the page. When I put it into the header then as soon as you click on another page the gallery just freezes.

Any solution to this?

I upgraded to the latest version https://alexrabe.de/2010/12/05/nextgen-gallery-v1-7-0-rc-1/ which fixed this problem, but now some of the iames are squished – tall and thin – in IE8 only. Dang.

I think I can help your. I had a very similar problem, slideshow work in IE only for the first time, but when I reload page or follow by link – the loading animation is just shown, like in your case.

But I found some site, where slideshow work fine in IE8, so I analyzed the code and find the differences in versions of this file:
_____________NextGEN V1.7.4(installed on my site)___________________
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://interra.kg69design.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/js/ngg.slideshow.min.js?ver=1.05′></script&gt;
__________and NextGEN (Unknown version) (some site)_________________
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://www.rau-autowood.com/blogs/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/js/ngg.slideshow.min.js?ver=1.03′></script&gt;

As you can see, there is a difference: ver=1.05/ver=1.03, so I just download ngg.slideshow.min.js?ver=1.03 and replace ver=1.05.
Problem solved.
