Widgets not working in IE8...OK in Firefox
I just started designing my first website. I have a couple of widgets. I'm wondering why I can see them in Firefox and not in IE8. How can I fix this?
Thanks.

Could you post the address of the page that is not working in IE8? Your post is far too vague to be able to help you as is. We need more detail

Which widget isn't working? The eBay one works fine in IE8 and Firefox 3.5 here.
There is one script error on your site.

Wow...how did you find that? And can you tell me how to fix it, please?
I'm pulling out my hair trying to get everything to work right.
Anyway, there's another widget on the Chakra Info link. It's not working in my IE8 browser. Maybe that error has something to do with it?

In IE8, in the bottom left corner, it will show a yellow alert icon. Double click on it and it will show the same message I posted.

The solution is to use the <embed> tag inside the <object> tag.
In the page in question, replace:
Code:<object id="W4842e53ebfcb96254a4d4c7649adc9ec" data="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/4842e53ebfcb9625/4a4d4c7649adc9ec/4842f716b44e9496/aa08e4f4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="304" height="274"></object>
Code:<object height="274" width="304" id="W4842e53ebfcb96254a4d4c7649adc9ec"> <param value="http://togo.ebay.com/togo/store.swf?2008013100" name="movie" /> <embed height="274" width="304" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/4842e53ebfcb9625/4a4d4c7649adc9ec/4842f716b44e9496/aa08e4f4" id="W4842e53ebfcb96254a4d4c7649adc9ec"></embed></object>

Hi larwilliams,
I really appreciate you taking the time to help me on this.
I did what you suggested in my admin section/site documents (CubeCart) on the Chakra page. Am I supposed to add this code anywhere else? Both the eBay and Chakra widgets are still not showing up in my IE8.
Again, thank you.

The widget on the Chakra Info page is now showing in my IE8. Is it not working for you?

No, it's not. The eBay widget is also not working for me in IE8.
I'm getting the same error in the bottom left.
Like I said, I updated in my site documents/admin section of CubeCart. Do I need to put those files anywhere else? Sheeesh...there's so many files I don't know where to put everything.

I noticed in my styletemplates/global/cart.tpl there's no
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script> code.
Is this normal?

Try refreshing your page by pressing F5.
However, the JavaScript error has nothing to do with the Flash bits and has no effect.
It sounds like Flash isn't even installed, at this point. Try going to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and let it install the latest versionCpanel/WHM • PHP • Perl • Ruby • Full Time Support

Well, this is a bugger, isn't it?
I installed Flash and cleared my cache. Still no results.
I guess if you're seeing it then it 'is' there somewhere. Just not on my computer. Think I should just leave it as is or continue to try and figure this out?
