Thank you Scott. Yes, refreshing does fix the problem, but I can't guarantee that other users will be so forgiving. I notice that Eric's nestedSliderPlugin has some code specifically for IE... something about "clipping problems?" Interesting also that IE8 is singled out as being a bit problematic with fonts, by, for example http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_font-variant.asp which says that: The value "inherit" is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports "inherit". Unfortunately, I need this to work on IE systems. Should I perhaps be playing with the !DOCTYPE?
