This is the page we're working on - Here. It works perfectly on IE9, FF, Opera, Safari. But IE8 and below is a no go.

IE8 doesn't display the info divs and doesn't even show the orange borders like every other browser. We're using the latest jQuery, we've tried z-index for everything as IE7/8 seems to have a problem with that. Infact the list of things we've tried is so long and some are so random that we're now out of ideas. Please shed some light on this!

This is the code so far
