3D sampler and IE

[zaphodeist]

Hi

I've added a page to my temporary site for Xara 3D sampler. It works in Firefox but not in IE7. Any ideas please?

Sorry - not without knowing first what it is that [you see] isn't working??

URL?

[zaphodeist]

Thanks for replying - much appreciated. The url works fine. In Firefox the sampler appears on screen and can be used to create and to link to Xara site, but on IE nothing appears (apart from an example 3D header I put on the page).

if you want to see what I mean (the link is a gel button "make your own 3D heading") tho please excuse the shambles - it's just a holding page

Hi John,

Attached is what I see using IE7, Firefox 2 and Opera 9.24
In all browsers I see identical content and all buttons work, even the green gell one..

However, IE7 prompted me to download the Adobe Flash player plug in (not being an IE user I hadn't needed this before)

So perhaps your problem is simply related to not having th correct flash plugin loaded for your copy of IE??

Try updating this.

I have noscript add-on in FFox - to see the xara box as below I have to tell it to allow scripting for xaraonline.com as well as johnpratt.co.uk

I'm no webmaster, but from this I thinkk it might be a javascript problem - don't think FFox and IE7 handle js the same way?

Ahh! That might well be it cos I cancelled the Adobe Updater - which had started churning away behind my back, as it were - assuming it was Acrobat that was being updated. I'll investigate.

Cheers Sledger and thanks for your time - much appreciated

Thanks Handrawn - I'll look into that too. Not an expert myself on js - far from it! - tho other js I've added elsewhere usually OK on IE as well as Firefox I did think it unusual I didn't at least get a pop-up about the lack of display.

Much appreciate your time

Hi

Got it working. When I made the page I just pasted in the supplied code and cos it worked in Firefox I assumed coding couldn't have been the problem, but I've just consolidated it onto one line and now IE reads it too. That'll teach me! Another example of how Mozilla stuff is more intuitive I suppose.

Re: Adobe Flash plug-in. Apparently there is a glitch with IE7
