Is it IE or RC4 that is not producing a smooth fade transition of slides in IE?
It works a treat in Firefox.

IE doesn't support CSS3 transitions property: http://www.w3schools.com/css3/css3_transitions.asp

But Artisteer should include a slideshow which works in IE - if not why bother at all?

Seriously guys, what the heck? Why put this in if it will only render the site useless to 40% of the web populace?
As sad as it is, people still use IE? This was bad and I felt stupid when I exported a site thinking "ya this should work for ie too" only for the client to call me and say "it died".
I then had to spend tons of time working out all that all over again, of course not being able to collect more money from said client because the job was supposed to be DONE already.
Why not just use freaking html5 then if CSS transitions doesn't work???

I've found IE doesn't support CSS text shadowing either. But who do we blame, Artisteer or Microsoft?

Jimmy has a point. A blame Microsoft...The other solution would have been not to have shadows and slideshow transitions for any browser. I think Artisteer made the right decision here.
As usual, it will take some time for Microsoft to catch up.

If transitions don't work in IE, then it is just a lame excuse. They should implement it the way, which works in at least IE8 and above. There are tonnes of various examples around the web, so please let's not tolerate, what is eventually product's fault? I would raise the the ticket then, of course if what you write is correct ...

i agree They should implement the slide transitions in a way, which works in at least IE8 and above.

Heh, I haven't really been using Artisteer lately so I wasn't aware that they'd only implemented slideshow using only CSS3 instead of using jquery. If true then that does seem like a rather stupid way to go about it. :P

I got following reply from tech support, which mostly confirms our findings - CSS transitions are used, which are not supported in older IE versions. I objected and asked for the fall-back feature to be implemented whatever way it takes - ommitting 32% of IE8 users out there is a - product suicide ...

Hello
The slider feature now works in old IE version except the fade and sliding effects implemented using the CSS 3 transitions that are not supported in the old IE versions.
Unfortunately Artisteer 4 creates templates compatible with the old IE versions in graceful degradation technique and there is no simple solution to make CSS 3 transitions work in old IE.

javascript:getMTControl('post_record.Insert').click();
IE users will not notice the missing slide shows but a jerky changing header slideshow will certainly annoy them. Not to mention that it looks looks unprofessional.
Sure IE sucks but again, the majority of the browsers are still IE and IE 8 is still the most popular browser version. And, jquery is readily available and free for Artisteer to implement and works in IE8.

I am absolutely not going to use Artisteer 4 if slide shows are not compatible with at least IE8.
Any Wordpress slider plugin with jquery works in IE8+

So is there a way of editing the code in template to add jquery code to make the slider work with effects in IE?
|

@sbooder: After you export your template. Artisteer should open this up though, so we can inject our custom codes in the header...
Since we are talking about the slideshows, they are not functioning. Even though you can put text on them, there is no way to hyperlink them unless you code them ourselves. Easy for most of us, but a major problem for end users (our customers).

Well dont use the slideshow option Art4 then. Why not just use an image rotator plugin in WP for example - that's what I did.
|

Mike - what an excuse? Why to have such a "feature" available at all, if 32% of visitors are going to see just - blank header? IE8 support is still a must, period. I hacked myself a solution using jquery, which can (most probably) be used to animate various elements separately, and text in the header can be a link.
However, I am not skilled JS programmer, so my code is rather - hacked together and injected into sources in the post processing phase after the export. I thought I would replace it with Art4 default solution. But in recent situation? No way!
Extensoft should be at least fair, and mention this VERY limitation in their PDF describing the 4.0 featureset. But - they know very well, why they did not put it in - it would discourage many to givi Art4 a try ...

<div class="art-slider art-slidecontainerheader">
<div class="art-slider-inner">
<?php wowslider(35); ?> </div>

I had some discussion with the tech support, and they said they might look into providing some tricks to make it usable for IE8, so we will see.
In the meantime I am considering using Wow slider, or my own jquery code, which allows to animate any element even separately (fade-in/out effect)

Wowslider works good for me (the full version) but i have problem to get it view rigt with radius in this browsers: Safari, googleChrom and Opera. But in IE9 and Firefox it is working fine.
I am looking for any solutions for get it work (view rigth with Radius in header) for Safari, Googlechrom and Opera.
Any tips will be fine thanks.

F8$k Wow Slider, this needs to work in IE. I've seen HTML 5 CSS 3 sites with transitions in a slideshow. Why should I have to use a whole separate setup when this should just work.
Sounds like a steaming pile to me.
This is one thing that isn't acceptable for IE. I am talking about IE 9+ not the old ones that Artisteer is not supporting. I want it to work in the latest version.
Seriously.
