I have a 2 small script in the footer of my page, that produce a script error in IE8. IEtester says that this script error is created from the document ready (but i believe it's just cuz it's the start). I used jQuery so that it was cross browser patible. :(

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

    //flexslider
   $(".flexslider").flexslider({
   animation : "slide",
    slideshow : true,
   animationDuration: "750",
   slideshowSpeed: 5000,
   pauseOnAction: true, 

  }); 

  //text slider overer
    $("#videos li").on({

  mouseenter: function() {
     $(this).animate({"padding-left": "50px"}, "normal");
  },

  mouseleave: function() {
       $(this).stop(true).animate({"padding-left": "0px"}, "slow");

  }});
  });

Does anyone know how to correct this script error? If so, could you explain why this error is created in the first place?

• What property or method does the error tell you is not supported? Any how about posting the script that's giving you the trouble? – cliffs of insanity Commented May 13, 2012 at 18:41
• Can you post the exact error into your question? – Michel Ayres Commented May 13, 2012 at 19:19
• @cliffsofinsanity the script is basically just being ignored – John Abraham Commented May 13, 2012 at 20:52
• @MichelAyres code has been updated above – John Abraham Commented May 13, 2012 at 20:52
• 1 Yes, fix it before I have to get my hands dirty in IE8. ;-) Aside from that, not really, but thanks. – cliffs of insanity Commented May 13, 2012 at 21:11

Here's one issue that's sure to trip up IE8:

$(".flexslider").flexslider({
   animation : "slide",
    slideshow : true,
   animationDuration: "750",
   slideshowSpeed: 5000,
   pauseOnAction: true, // <-- Trailing ma
});

IE8 and lower hate trailing mas.

Remove the , from this line: pauseOnAction: true,

IE doesn't support mas on the end of the last line in an array or object.
