title: jquery Error in IE8: 'Object' doesn't support this property or method
body: <p>I did something similar to: <a href="http://tympanus.net/codrops/2012/01/04/thumbnail-proximity-effect/" rel="nofollow">http://tympanus.net/codrops/2012/01/04/thumbnail-proximity-effect/</a>
  and just like the original it works in FF, Safarei ... BUT I get Errors in IE 8/7 (not sure about 9).</p>
  
  <p>As I am really new to JD and jQuery in particular I have no clue why this is happening.
  Can anyone help?</p>
  
  <p>The debugger tracks it down to this chunk:</p>
  
  <pre><code>_getScaleVal= function() {              
                          var st = window.getComputedStyle($jelems.get(0), null),
                              tr = st.getPropertyValue("-webkit-transform") || 
                                  st.getPropertyValue("-moz-transform") || 
                                  st.getPropertyValue("-ms-transform") || 
                                  st.getPropertyValue("-o-transform") || 
                                  st.getPropertyValue("transform") || 
                                  "fail...";
  
                          if( tr !== 'none' ) {    
  
                              var values = tr.split('(')[1].split(')')[0].split(','),
                                  a = values[0],
                                  b = values[1],
                                  c = values[2],
                                  d = values[3];
  
                              return Math.sqrt( a * a + b * b );
  
                               }
  
                      },
