Hi,
I've been trying to add Adsense widgets to my project but am hitting a brick wall . The issu is that xara uses IE as a browser and Adsense doesn't support this . Is there a way of changing the browser xara uses so I can set up this widget ?
Thanks in advance for any help offered
Xara uses IE for its Preview so click the View in (browser) icons at the top right of the Preview pane.Quote:

I understand you are referring to the preview pane where I know you can cary the browser, not the same when setting up widget as far as I can see :(
It's exactly the same bazhed. It just allows you to test in as many browsers as you have installed on your machine.
Confused. Xara provides 3 AdSense widgets and all seems to function.

Hi guys, here is official answer from Xara plus a workaround
Hi,
Apologies about the delay in getting back to you, we've recieved a lot of support requests recently which has slowed down our response time.
Unfortunately it is not possible to change the browser that Xara uses, it must use Internet Explorer. Thank you for reporting the issue regarding adsense, I will have someone in our testing team look into that for you and hopefully we can find a fix. For now, a simple workaround is to go to the adsense page directly(link included below), in your preferred browser and go through creating your ad, then copy the code from the google ad website into a placeholder in Xara. For more information about placeholders see the link below.

Again, thank you for your patience whilst we got back to you.
Kindest regards

Ah! that makes sense now. Supports advice should make it possible for you to meet your needs. I must admit to rarely using widgets as they date quickly and therefore no longer function as expected always preferring to get the required code from the source. Hope you manage to get it functioning ;)
I've made some progress but keep getting the message ' page cannot display ds as the viewport is not between 320 and 420 pixels wide' I get this message regardless of the width of the webpage or the placeholder.
Is this something you've ever come accross?
TIA
Let me say from the outset Bazhed I don't use Adsense so I'm unable to test/confirm your findings. Any other members who use Adsense care to comment?
