Image Scroller 3 not working with IE9

I’m working on a web site and on the home page I have included a javascript “Image scroller” taken from this web site: The Huntingground
This works fine in Firefox, Opera and Chrome but not in IE9. I know that IE9 has lots of issues but I would like to get this page to work on all browsers if possible. (I do tend to design for Firefox as that is the browser that I prefer) The page can be found HERE. I have also attached the script code. I would appreciate any help that I can get to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance
