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.
