Issue with jQuery cycle2 on iPad?

I have run into an odd situation with the beloved cycle2 plugin.  I cannot get it to work on my iPad.  The cycle works just fine in other browsers, but not on my iPad (which is still on ios4).  I started pulling apart my code to see when/if it started working on my iPad and it never did.

If I access this page --  http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle2/demo/carousel.php -- it DOES work.  However, if I grab all of that code (which has absolute links to the js and images) and put it in my test page.... it works in desktop and Android, but not on my iPad again.

The fact that the malsup page works when not on my server is odd.  Thoughts?
