Galleriffic images using jquery not fading in IE8

Hi,

I'm using the galleriffic plugin for fading my images on my website. Click here to view my website.

My pictures are not fading in Internet Explorer, in Firefox this is working fine. After a long time I found that when change  my doctype from
  1. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
  2. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="nl">
  3. <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
 to
  1. <html>
  2.      <head>
  3.       ...
and delete the following css rule
  1. a.advance-link img{
        position: absolute;
        top:0;
        left:0;
    }




the pictures are fading. Of course the whole website is then messed up.

Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance.
