Hi, many plugins and jQuery itself have problems with the new IE, but it's still a beta release.
Lets wait until it's established, and I'll check, please post again and have a demo or describe the problem very well.
Cheers

Hi,
The demo page at the plugin's homepage does not work. There are no actual errors, but I suspect that in IE 8 (being supposedly extremely standards complient), it is using the same offsetHeight/clientHeight that Firefox is using. However, there is a part in your code where u do browser checking and use 1 for IE and the other for other browsers. That is what possibly cause the scrolling to not work.
In anycase, the IE 8 beta for developers/web designers is quite convenient to utilise at the moment (as compared to the old IE 7 beta) because one is still able to develop content for IE 6/7, as IE 8 comes with an Emulate IE7 mode, and also allow one to toggle/switch between IE 5 quirks mode/IE 7 strict/IE 8 strict with the built-in developer toolbar. In another words, this plugin will still work for IE 8 users as long as they toggle the emulate IE7 mode option.

Hi kohzihan
I really appreciate your collaboration. There's no browser check for IE, 1 for Safari and 1 for Opera. But of course, those bifurcations could cause the problem.
Anyway, Once jQuery establishes IE8 as supported, then I'll try to fix this. The core team itself said so to the users, so the reason could belong to jQuery itself.
Cheers, and thanks again

Could you retry now with ScrollTo 1.4 ?
