Difficulty getting Galleria plugin to work in IE10 (with jQuery v1.5.1)

Difficulty getting Galleria plugin to work in IE10 (with jQuery v1.5.1)

The Galleria plugin is awesome, and it works in all browsers for me (Firefox 18, Chrome 24, Safari 5, IE 8/9) but IE10 does not want to work. I am using galleria v1.2.5. Let me explain further. 

I am running jQuery 1.5.1, it is not a possibility to upgrade as I am a web dev for a college university and we have tons of custom made widgets that could break with an upgrade of the jquery library. I have tried switching the doctype from "STRICT" to "TRANSITIONAL" but it does not work for me. I have tried forcing IE to render as IE9 (compatibility mode), which works, but it is also not a solution for me. I even tried upgrading the galleria plugin to the latest version (1.2.9) but it still breaks with jquery 1.5.1. I have looked at all the release notes to see what might be causing the issue but I cannot successfully find a "patch" to fix my issue.

If I upgrade the jquery to v1.6 for a test on my local setup it works. Is there anyone out there who may be able to assist as to why it fails in IE10? I have been banging my head against the wall for 2 weeks now.

Thanks,

Logan
