Genesis Responsive Slider pagination icons stack vertically in IE 7

I tried to run the demo on BrowserShots but it’s failing on Can’t read Robot.txt so I can’t test the same site so I ran it with my own hand built theme at http://digitalessence.net/ and the issue remains.

I will now submit a ticket with SP.

Thanks.

Ok,

here is the response from StudioPress:

Thanks for contacting us about this. Unfortunately this is because the coins are using inline-block styling, which is not supported in IE7.

We do not have a good solution for this because we are working on being web forward. I know that a lot of sites are concerned about IE7 support for various reasons. It is theoretically possible to override the inline-block styling and use old fashioned floats instead.

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide assistance with this, as it will require customization to your theme’s code. Your customization question would be a great question for the community forums. I’m sure many users would benefit from the collective feedback the community can give you. You can open a thread here: http://studiopress.com/forums/.

While I can understand that we need to move forward in terms of design, I think killing support for IE 7 is a little too early.
