    Hello! On IE 8 (and below), my slider doesn't load up -- it just acts as if it's loading but it never does. This site does have a more complicated slider, having YouTube Videos as part of the slider. Would you know if I could fix this? Thanks!

    By patch, do you mean something I have to do on my end with IE 8 or is that an patch your team has to apply to Salient?

    Thanks again!

    Just sorted it on your end Matthew!

    Drew - to fix this on your end open the init.js file located in the js folder and change this: 

     
//home slider init
if($('#featured').length > 0 && $().orbit) {
		 
	 var $firstBg = $('#featured').find('.slide:first-child > article').attr('style');

	 var pattern = /url\(["']?([^'")]+)['"]?\)/;
	 var match = pattern.exec($firstBg);
	 if (match) {        
	        var slideImg = new Image();
		slideImg.src = match[1];
			
		$(slideImg).load(function(){ 
			homeSliderInit();
		});
	 }

    to this: 

     
//home slider init
if($('#featured').length > 0 && $().orbit) {
		 
	var $firstBg = $('#featured').find('.slide:first-child > article').attr('style');

        var pattern = /url\(["']?([^'")]+)['"]?\)/;
	var match = pattern.exec($firstBg);
	if (match) { 
         
	   var slideImg = new Image();

		slideImg.onload = function(){ 
			homeSliderInit();
		}
      
      slideImg.src = match[1];
         
     }

    Cheers!
