<P: layout> issues not working with IE 9

I got a problem when using IE to view http://gamma.j.layershift.co.uk

My site is built using JSF2 with 3.5 primaries.

** the rest of the page is visible on Firefox and chrome.

the problem only happened on the index page (first).

<ui:composition template="/templates/template.xhtml"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<ui:define name="content">
    <!-- p:galleria panelWidth="960" panelHeight="350"
        value="#{mbIndex.img}" var="image" styleClass="ui-corner-all">
        <p:graphicImage id="gal_image" value="resources/images/#{image}" />
    </p:galleria -->

    <p:imageSwitch effect="fade" speed="2900" styleClass="center"
        style="width:1000px;height:400px;">
        <ui:repeat value="#{mbIndex.img}" var="image">
            <p:graphicImage value="resources/images/#{image}"
                style="clip:rect(0px, 1000px, 400px, 0px);min-width:1000px; min-height:400px;" />
        </ui:repeat>
    </p:imageSwitch>

    <br />

    <p:layout style="max-height:500px !important;">
        <p:layoutUnit position="west" header="About GAMMA"
            style="max-width:300px !important; height:300px; !important">
            <h:outputLabel style="word-wrap: break-word;"
                value="The company started in 2012 focusing on the production of disinfectants. Our products are used in laboratories, clean rooms, and process areas in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare, academic and industrial facilities in addition to livestock animals, " />
            <p:commandLink value="More info..." action="#{mbIndex.toAbout}"></p:commandLink>

    </p:layoutUnit>

        <p:layoutUnit position="center" header="Latest news">

        </p:layoutUnit>
    </p:layout>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Any explanations please?
Thank.

This screenshot is from Firefox (which page should be).

- When using IE, only the image is shown.
