magento disappearing grid page navigation

If you’ve played at all with Magento since IE8 you’ve probably noticed an annoying bug that causes the pagination to disappear whenever you hover over it. That’s not a great way to build customer confidence in your store!

There are two options to fix this:

1) The easy fix is to place the following code in your header, just after the ‘title’ tag:
<meta http-equiv=“X-UA-Compatible” content=“IE=EmulateIE7″ />

You’ll find it here:
app/design/frontend/default(your interface)/default(your theme)/template/page/html/head.phtml

2) The best fix is to add some code to your css so that you aren’t making a global change away from IE8, which is going to become the standard whether you like it or not.  Open your iestyles.css file and add the following code:
.pager a:hover { zoom:1; }

You’ll find it here:
/skin/frontend/default/(yourtheme)/css/iestyles.css

Once you’ve made the change, refresh your cache (magento and your browser), and you should have the problem fixed.
