Default Problem with images on category pages - IE7

Hi,

I have been developing our new site (http://xcart.traininglines.co.uk) for a while, and have noticed a problem with the display of images in the category list on IE7. I accept that this is an old version, and it doesn't seem to happen in FF 3.6, Safari 5, or IE9, but according to analytics on our current site, somewhere between 5 and 10% of our visitors use IE7 and I don't really want to ignore them. Also, I don't have IE8 which is the most popular browser, and the problem may also show in that.

Essentially, in the product category pages, there are almost no images being displayed against the products when you first load the page. Oddly enough, the last product (usually on the featured list, which is at the bottom of the page) has an image, but none of the others. Sometimes others do show up (usually only 1 per page), but certainly not all.

That's when it gets stranger.

If I add an item to the basket, I get the 'add to cart' alert, behind which the edge of the image of the product I am adding actually appears. When I close the alert box, that image disappears again, and all of the other images on the page appear.

Even stranger still, if I go to a different page I have the same problem with missing images until I pass the mouse over the cart total tooltip - then all of the images appear again as if by magic.

It's fair to say that the category pages are completely different to the standard template, and many changes have been made to the tpl file and css (probably not in the most elegant way), but even taking that into consideration, I'm finding this behaviour extremly odd. The apparent unpredictability of it, for one thing.

I have also noticed the warning 'Done, but with errors on page' when the pages first load. They may well be related, or they may not be. I don't get that warning on other browsers (at least, I can't see it).

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Cheers

Welly
