Sounds like you have the on page call for the script wrapped in a link tag, ex:

Code:

<a href="whatever.htm"><script type="text/javascript">
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 1, "R")
</script>
</a>

That'll confuse the heck out of IE. But there are many possibilities. If you want more help:

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

I don't however have them in an a tag:

<body>
<div id="outer2">

<div id="leftest">

<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 125, 125, 0, 5000, 1, "R")

</script>
</br>
<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)

new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 125, 125, 0, 5000, 0)

</script>

In your stylesheet, remove the highlighted:

Code:

#leftest {
	position: absolute;
	top: 60px;
	left: 0;
	float: left;
	z-index: -999999999;
}

#rightest {
	position: absolute;
	top: 60px;
	right: 0;
	float: right;
	z-index: -999999999;
}
