Product Page Images Disappearing in IE Only

I've been working on a new website with the Hikashop cart for the past few months and so far I've been able to solve all problems by just searching the forums which has been great. We're now getting to the end of development and I'm left with a handful of troubling issues I can find solutions...this is one!

I have version 2.1.2 of Hikashop and am having a similar issue described by bonzomedia in this thread: www.hikashop.com/en/forum/4-how-to/61997...ge-disappearing.html

You can see an example by going to this product page and selecting a size other than the default: www.mayamada.com/2_5_install/guys/product/42-serious-sound-mens

With username / password combination of mayamada / m4y4l0ckd0wn*

When you select a different product characteristic (colour in my case), the images dissapear. I haven't configured an individual image for each specific variant which I initially thought was the problem, but after trying to add an image for a variant (large in this case) it did not make a different with Internet Explorer.

My issue is slightly different to the thread above as it only occurs in Internet Explorer (version 9) that I've seen. The solutions described in the thread don't work for me either as I've tried changing folder permissions to 777 and I do not have lazyload so I think this could be a different issue although it looks the same.

Is this a problem that anyone else has come across? Any help will be appreciated as we can't launch the site until this is resolved.

Thanks.

Hi Jerome,

I'm not 100% clear on what you mean? I have some products that have badges ("New" can be seen on the first 6 products), but badges are only used on a subset of product whereas the disappering images issue affects all products when in IE. Could the badges be causing this issue?

We had a temporary problem with our site going down (happens too much for my liking, though that's a bluehost issue!) but it's up now with the same auth credentials in the first post: www.mayamada.com/2_5_install/shop

I'll give the javascript suggestion a try. I missed this thread previously - thanks.

That looks to have worked. Thanks guys!

Could I ask what those those lines of code do and why they cause a problem in IE only?

Ah ok. So does that mean if I did want a different image for each product variant, those images would not show with this fix in place?

That's not a problem for our site at the moment but I want to make sure exactly what is affected.

Thanks for clearing that up nicolas. In my case it's not a problem at the moment as the only variant I have is size. However, is it likely that a fix for the issue can be made in a future release? Or is this something that IE is not handling properly?

It must be another module that is causing the issue. The problem is I never tried it on IE until recently so there was no point at which I could say it ever was working...looks like I'll just have to start disabling modules until it does work.

Either way, thanks for a great shopping cart. It's made a big improvement to our website.
