IE 8 popup images appear right at bottom of screen

Using Joomla 1.5.23 and Hikashop 1.5.4 on Internet Explorer 8

When you click on a product image, the popup appears right down at the bottom of the screen instead of centered in the current view (like usual). See example at www.wirthconsulting.com.au/products/prod.../category_pathway-12 . Same issue occurs with the add to cart popup confirmation message.

To the website visitor it simply looks like the popups aren't working until you realise and scroll right to the bottom of the page.

It isn't a problem in Firefox or Chrome.

Any ideas?

Hi,

That problem does not occur on other websites. For instance, it works fine on our demo website with IE 7 8 and 9.

Looking at the HTML/CSS of your page (not that page as it's not working anymore but another product page ), it seems that IE has problems parsing it correctly. Unfortunately, I couldn't find where the problem was coming from.

I know this is a bit late but I had the same problem, but it is a style issue in the view.

Go to and edit the following:

1.In admin choose 'Display/View'.
2.Then choose under the 'View' tab 'product' and under tab 'File' choose 'show'.
3.The next line of code after:

You should find

... and change the 'vertical-align:middle' at the end to 'vertical-align:top'.

Worked for me to get around the issue with ie8.
