I met this problem too. And the problem is: in IE8, the event must be window.event, not the event that is declared in params.

I fixed as below:

    function onclick(event){
      if (is_ie8()){
        clicked_element = window.event.srcElement
      } else {
        clicked_element = event.target
      }
    }
