title: Jquery Pikachoose plugin giving unusual results in IE
body: <p>I have used <a href="http://www.pikachoose.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jquery Pikachoose</a> plugin on my page to display some images as slideshow.</p>
  
  <p>But in IE, instead of image to slide, it opens the image in the same page in full view.</p>
  
  <p>AND the funny thing is, If before the script opens the image, if I change the slide myself by clicking a thumbnail, then from this point and onwards, it works fine.</p>
  
  <p>How to fix this</p>
  
  <p>I fetch the image name from the database and display like the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo
  '&lt;div id="slideShow" class="sublayout pikachoose"&gt;
      &lt;ul id="pikame"&gt;';
          while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
              extract($row);
              echo
              '&lt;li&gt;
                  &lt;a href="images/slideshow/'.$image.'"&gt;
                          &lt;img src="images/slideshow/th_'.$image.'" title='.$title.' alt='.$title.'/&gt;
                  &lt;/a&gt;
                  &lt;span&gt;'.$title.'&lt;/span&gt;
              &lt;/li&gt;';
          }
      echo
      '&lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is my pikachoose options in <code>pikachoose.js</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>    var defaults = {
          show_captions: true,
          auto_play: true,
          show_prev_next: true,
          slide_speed: 5000,
          thumb_width: 26,
          thumb_height: 20,
          buttons_text: { play: "", stop: "", previous: "Previous", next: "Next" },
          delay_caption: true,
          user_thumbs: false,
          transition:[-1],
          IESafe: true
      };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I initialize the plugin using this (also in seperate file)</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function (){ $("#pikame").PikaChoose({auto_play:true, IESafe: true}); });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Works fine in other browser</p>
  
  <p><strong>Findings</strong></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>If I remove the <code>&lt;a&gt;</code> the <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> , this stops the script from opening the image</li>
  <li>The demo provided in the official page also behaves like this</li>
  </ol>
